Who says analysis can't be beautiful?: FII/DII and peer comparison charts

Humans are getting pretty good with reading data, but visual analysis always helps. We have been building powerful visualizations for our users, and among the most useful are FII/DII Analysis, and Peer Comparison charts in Financials.

FII DII Analysis

Trendlyne's FII/DII Analysis lets you look at how much, and where FII and DII investors are buying and selling. It gives you snapshots, daily data, monthly data and overviews for equity, debt and derivatives inflows and outflows, for both FII investors and MF investors.

Scroll down, and the table on the same page gives you a detailed visual analysis of FII and DII flows day to day over the past 30 days. Each individual table row can be expanded into a Sankey diagram, that shows you the inflows and outflows.

The closed table also functions like a heat map, where the columns are color coded to indicate the intensity of inflows and outflows from FIIs and DIIs. Darker greens indicate bigger inflows than average. Darker reds indicate bigger outflows than average.

Peer Comparison Analysis

The new peer comparison charts on every stock financials page allows users to quickly see how the company is doing, across various parameters, compared to their industry peers.

For example, for Infosys the user can quickly see how Infy is ranked among 108 industry companies in Market Cap, Momentum Score, PE TTM, Five Year Price Change%, and so on.

Happy visualizing,

New charts, and launching delivery analysis

We have been pushing improvements to Trendlyne, and you should have seen two big changes over the past week.

Charts, charts, more charts!

For easy analysis, on every screener table and stock page there is now a small chart icon next to each indicator. This means that the indicator can be clicked on to see the historical chart.

Such history is now available for nearly all parameters on Trendlyne, for subscribers.

For example, see the icon on the PE indicator of the Granules India stock page when you hover on the number:

On clicking, you will see that indicator's full history:

We have also launched detailed Delivery Analysis for every stock. You can now also do delivery analysis while combining exchange data:

You also get detailed day by day analysis and insights:

What's New: Stocks in Buy Zone, Sell Zone Screeners

As the coronavirus spreads and shares fall, we have launched new parameters to help users navigate the bear market and find the best bargains. These new screener parameters are currently free for all users:

Buy Zone: Stocks that trade above their current Price to Earnings (PE) or Price to Book Value (P/BV) at least 75% of the time (in trading days)

Sell Zone: Stocks that trade belowtheir current PE or P/BV at least 75% of the time (in trading days)

Neutral Zone: Stocks that trade at their current PE or P/BV most of the time (in trading days)

You can also check out these prebuilt screeners with the new parameters: Stocks in the Buy Zone, Stocks in the Sell Zone, Stocks in the Neutral Zone.

How are these useful?

Price to Earnings (PE) and Price to Book Value (P/BV) are valuation numbers widely used to check whether stocks are cheap or expensive at their current prices. There are 3 ways to compare these valuation ratios:

1. Compare with peers in the same industry, as is available in the peer group section of fundamental pages.

2. Compare present value with averages. For example, this screener on Trendlyne chooses stocks which are trading below their 3Yr, 5Yr and 10Yr PE averages.

3. However, experts recommed looking at how many days the stock trades above or below a certain valuation. The frequency distribution of the valuation helps investors put money in a stock only when the stock is in the buy zone of the distribution. So if the stock trades only 10% of days below the current value of PE or P/BV, then it is in the Buy Zone.

If you prefer, you can customize this further and narrow the buy/sell window using the following parameters :

%Days traded below current PE Price to Earnings (example query: %Days traded below current PE Price to Earnings < 20)

%Days traded below current Price to Book Value (example query: %Days traded below current Price to Book Value < 20)

Keep in mind that markets may continue to fall further on coronavirus news, and prices may not find their bottom for a while.

Stay safe in volatile markets.

NEW features: F&O screeners, and 12 year backtesting

We are constantly working to improve our products, and we have just launched some new features at the request of users.

NEW: Sorting for screeners, and stock weightage for backtests

We have seen users request 1) a way to sort screeners by a specific parameter, and 2) Assign maximum weightage to stocks in a backtest. Both of these features are now live on Trendlyne.

You can now sort any screener you own. Make a copy of an existing system screener, or create your own screener. After that, click on the Edit screener button, and you will see 'Advanced'. This lets you sort the screener by any parameter:

You can also now do something similar on backtests. You have more control over your backtest results by doing a 'Sort by", where you are limiting the number of stocks in a backtest per period using a particular parameter. You can limit total number of stocks, and also give a maximum weightage for each stock:

Introducing: Five minute candlesticks and chart analysis for F&O

User feedback has been the way Trendlyne has moved forward, and a powerful new feature we have introduced today is F&O charts with five minute candlesticks and detailed technical chart analysis that you can plot on the chart. See the Nifty50 futures chart.

The F&O chart now has multiple time periods available for analysis, and you can toggle between line charts and candlesticks. Once you add five minute candlestick data, you can hover over the chart to see detailed data points.

You can also add more technicals using the Technicals drop down menu:

Chart users can plot SMA, EMA, Bollinger Bands and MACD using their own time periods. In this case for example, we added the SMA 30 and SMA 35 line:

Once you choose specific time periods, the drop down menu saves these until the page is refreshed. So now I have SMA30 and SMA35 in my drop down to select or deselect.
