🎯 War Rooms — a whole index on one screen
Every other page reads one ticker, or every ticker as a list. A War Room shows one group of stocks together — the Nasdaq-100, the Dow 30, or our own forty AI stocks: who is moving, how broad the move is, which names stopped moving with the rest, and where option dealers stand. The rooms are open to everyone.
Live, or the close? — the line under the title
The page is rebuilt every night from end-of-day data. While the US market is open it also lays delayed quotes over that, about once a minute. The line under the title always says which you are looking at.
| The line says | What the figures are |
|---|---|
| ● Market open | Delayed quotes, up to 15–20 minutes behind, refreshed about once a minute. The headline, the six figures, the map, the movers and the table follow the quotes. |
| Closed — today's date | The day's closing prices from the delayed quotes. The full rebuild (breadth charts, correlation, option readings) runs later that night. |
| At the close of … | Everything is from that close: our own end-of-day data. |
The headline and the bar
The green-and-red bar counts stocks: how many are up, how many are down. The headline above it is chosen from two things — the group's move weighted the room's own way, and the share of stocks that are up.
| Headline | When the page writes it |
|---|---|
| A broad advance | The group is up and 75% or more of the stocks that moved are up. |
| More stocks up than down | The group is up and 55% to 75% are up. |
| Up — carried by a few heavy names | The group is up although fewer than 55% of its stocks are. The weight is doing the work. |
| A broad decline | The group is down and 25% or fewer are up. |
| More stocks down than up | The group is down and 25% to 45% are up. |
| Down — pulled by a few heavy names | The group is down although more than 45% of its stocks are up. |
| A split field, and little net movement | The group moved less than 0.1% and between 40% and 60% of the stocks are up. |
How each room is weighted. The Dow 30 by share price, exactly as the index is: a $600 stock counts six times a $100 stock. The Nasdaq-100 by its index weights, read from the daily holdings of a fund that tracks it — not by plain company size, because the index holds its very largest names down. The AI room by market value (it is our own list, not an index).
The six figures
| Figure | How to read it |
|---|---|
| The index (or its fund) | During the session: the index itself, with its level. On the close: the fund that tracks it (QQQ, DIA). |
| The stocks, weighted | The room's own stocks added up the room's way, and under it the average stock. A gap between the two is the heavy names pulling one way and the rest another. |
| Up / down | The count of stocks, not weighted. |
| Above their 50-day average | The share of stocks whose price is above their own 50-day average (and, smaller, the 200-day). |
| 20-day highs / lows | Stocks at their highest or lowest close of the last 20 sessions; under it, 52-week highs and lows. |
| Moved more than their options priced | See option dealers below. |
The heat map
One tile per stock, grouped by sector (by camp in the AI room). Size is the stock's weight in the room; colour is its change. Hover a tile for its figures, click it for the stock's card.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Colour: Today · 5 days · 1 month · This year | The period the colour shows. A tile reaches full colour at ±3% for today, ±6% for five days, ±12% for a month and ±40% for the year; anything beyond looks the same. |
| Size: weight · Equal | Weight shows what moves the index. Equal draws every stock the same size, so the small names can be read — the default on a phone. |
| ◐ Blue / orange | Blue for up and orange for down instead of green and red — easier to tell apart with red-green colour blindness. Your browser remembers the choice. |
Movers — two different lists
| List | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Biggest gains · Biggest losses | The largest changes of the day, in percent, whatever the stock's weight. |
| Lifting the group · Weighing on it | Change × weight: how many percentage points of the group's move come from that one stock. The figures of every stock add up to the group's move. |
Below, By sector shows each group's own weighted move as a bar from the middle, how many of its stocks are up, and its weight in the room.
Breadth — is the move broad?
| Chart | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Weighted against every stock equal | One year, both started at 100. The weighted line above the equal one: the heavy names carried the year. Below: the smaller names did better. |
| Stocks above their 50-day average | The share of the room's stocks above their own 50-day average, day by day, with today's value beside a typical session of the year. |
Who broke ranks — the correlation shift
Stocks of one group usually move together. For every pair of stocks in the room the page compares two windows that do not overlap: the last 63 sessions (about three months) and the 252 sessions before them (a year). Correlation runs from −1 (opposite) through 0 (no link) to +1 (together).
| Reading | Change in the pair's correlation |
|---|---|
| Shifted | fell by more than 0.20 — the two moved together clearly less than before |
| Minor shift | fell by 0.05 to 0.20 |
| Negligible | fell by less than 0.05 |
| Steady | unchanged, or rose by less than 0.30 |
| Strengthened | rose by 0.30 or more |
| Part | How to read it |
|---|---|
| How tightly the group moves as one | The average correlation of all pairs over a rolling 63 sessions. High: everything moves together (usually a market driven by one big worry or one big hope). Low: each stock on its own story. |
| Left the pack · Joined the pack | Each stock's average correlation with all the others, year before → last three months. |
| Every pair at a glance | A square per pair. Blue: together. Orange: apart. Change shows the shift; the other two buttons show each window by itself. Hover a square, click it for the pair. |
| Moved apart / together the most | The twelve largest changes each way. Click a row for the pair: the two prices over both windows, and their correlation as it moved. |
| lowest (highest) of 5 quarters | The last three months are below (above) every one of the four quarters before. |
| mostly one session | Taking one single day out changes the three-month correlation by 0.15 or more. It is usually a company report on which the two went far apart. |
Where option dealers stand
This is the site's own subject, added up over the room. All of it is from the last close.
| Figure | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Long gamma / short gamma | How many stocks have dealers on each side. Long gamma: their hedging leans against a move and tends to calm it. Short gamma: it goes with the move and can let it stretch. |
| Median IV rank | The typical stock's implied volatility in its own one-year range: 0 the cheapest day, 100 the dearest. |
| IV rank 80 or more / 20 or less | How many stocks sit at the dear and at the cheap end. |
| Closed through an option wall | Stocks that closed above their call wall or below their put wall at the last close. |
| Within 1.5% of a wall | Stocks whose close was that near to a call wall or a put wall. |
| Moving more than their options priced | The day's change divided by the one-day move the options price (implied volatility ÷ √252). 1.0× = exactly the priced move; 2× = twice it. |
Members also get At the walls: the price on view — live during the session — against last night's call wall and put wall, stock by stock. "through" = the price is beyond the wall; "near" = within 1.5% of it.
The table — every stock on one row
Click a column to sort, type in the box to search a ticker, a name or a sector, click a row for the stock's card.

| Off high | The distance from the 52-week high. |
| 50 · 200 | Two dots: the 50-day and the 200-day average. Filled = the price is above it; a ring = below. |

| Pack | The stock's average correlation with the others over the last three months, and its change from the year before. |

A routine that works
- The line under the title: live, today's close, or last night?
- The headline and the bar: broad, or carried by a few? Check the gap between "weighted" and "average stock".
- The map by weight, then by Equal. Which sector is the day's story?
- Lifting / weighing lists: which two or three stocks explain the index's move?
- Once a week: the correlation section. Which stocks left the pack — and is it a drift or one report day?
- Open the stock that stands out: its card here, then its own pages — Options Chart, Walls & Levels, Volatility.
