ASK Streetwhacks is the platform's AI assistant, grounded in live market data. It can answer supported market questions, summarize signals and news, and guide you to relevant platform tools. AI responses should be independently verified.
Supported question types include stock outlook, market trends, options strategy setups, portfolio review summaries, news sentiment impact, and community signal summaries. Template questions and trending questions are available in the ASK dashboard.
When you type a free-text question, ASK Streetwhacks automatically detects the symbol you are referring to (for example, RELIANCE) and grounds the answer in that symbol's live data.

Yes. Your recent queries and responses are listed in the ASK dashboard, and popular queries from the community are shown as suggestions.
Streetwhacks uses Azure OpenAI (GPT) for news sentiment and chat streaming and DeepSeek for sentiment and summarization. If AI services are unavailable, features degrade gracefully and the rest of the platform keeps working.
Trend signals are algorithmic indications that a symbol is showing a bullish, bearish, or neutral setup, with entry/exit prices and confidence scores. They are research signals, not guaranteed predictions or trade recommendations.
Eight algorithms power trend detection: moving average crossover, RSI divergence, MACD crossover, Bollinger band breakout, volume spike, VWAP crossover, support/resistance breakouts, and 20+ candlestick patterns.
RSI, MACD, EMA, SMA, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, ATR, ADX, and Stochastic indicators are pre-calculated per symbol, date, and timeframe.
Signals are evaluated on three timeframes: Intraday, Short-Term, and Long-Term. The same symbol can show different signals on different timeframes.
Live Insights are AI-generated analyses of individual stocks with confidence scores, updated with the latest market data.
Heat maps show sector and stock performance in green/red with drill-down to individual symbols. Bubble charts visualize multi-dimensional trend data (price, volume, strength) for the whole market, along with directional trends and sector rotation.
Trend performance tracks historical accuracy per algorithm and timeframe, with win/loss ratios and backtesting visualizations so you can compare which signals have worked best.

Many public pages - quotes, trend signals, insights, news, blog, and FAQs - are available without an account. An account is required for personal tools such as portfolios, watchlists, alerts, chat rooms, and subscription features.
The platform covers NSE (equity and derivatives), BSE (equity and derivatives), and MSEI (mutual funds). It includes exchange segments, market holidays, and a 4-tier NSE industry classification (macro-economic sector to basic industry).
The market trades Monday to Friday, 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST, with pre-market and post-market sessions supported. Exchange holidays are maintained in the market holiday calendar.
Yes. There is a Free plan with core market data and analytics. Paid plans (Basic, Pro, Premium, and Enterprise) unlock higher limits and advanced features. See the pricing page for the latest details.

Yes. Real-time quotes, trades, trend signals, and index data are streamed to your browser over SignalR. The platform uses SQL Server change tracking so updates are broadcast only when data actually changes.
Trend signals combine algorithmic indicators such as moving averages, RSI, MACD, volume, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, and support or resistance. They are research signals, not guaranteed predictions or trade recommendations.
Market Pulse highlights smart money activity, volume spikes, and breakout candidates across the market in real time, so you can spot unusual activity quickly.
Intraday price and volume data is available at 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour intervals, along with end-of-day OHLCV, market depth (5-level order book), and recent trade feeds.

Index Pulse shows real-time index summaries, advance/decline trends, trend ratios, and live signal trends for major indices, letting you gauge market breadth at a glance.
Symbols use the NSE 4-tier industry classification: Macro-Economic Sector, Sector, Industry, and Basic Industry. Additional metadata such as market cap, PE, PB, dividend yield, EPS, ROE, and debt-to-equity is available per symbol.
Market data is sourced from exchanges and market data providers, and news is aggregated from leading financial publishers. Data may be delayed or contain errors; always verify before trading. AI-generated outputs are research aids, not guaranteed.
News is aggregated from Economic Times, LiveMint, MoneyControl (RSS), Business Standard, CNBC-TV18, NDTV Profit, NSE/BSE announcements, SEBI circulars, MCX, and more. Articles are deduplicated by URL.

The F&O workspace includes options chains, Greeks, implied volatility, IV crush, put/call ratios, max pain, unusual flow, most active and highest-OI strikes, plus strategy building and FO screeners.
The options chain shows all strikes and expiries for a symbol with bid, ask, last, volume, open interest, and full Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho) per strike.
Greeks measure option sensitivity: delta (price movement), gamma (delta change), theta (time decay), vega (volatility sensitivity), and rho (interest rate sensitivity). A Greeks dashboard tracks positions.
Implied volatility (IV) reflects expected future price swings priced into options. IV crush is the sharp IV drop after events like earnings, which the platform tracks with pre-IV and post-IV comparisons.
Max pain is the strike price where the maximum number of option buyers lose money (where sellers profit most), calculated per symbol and expiry. It is a popular OI-based market expectation indicator.
The put/call ratio (PCR) compares put open interest/volume to call open interest/volume. It is available per symbol and market-wide, and is used as a sentiment gauge.
Options flow tracking flags unusually large or out-of-the-ordinary option trades (volume, premium) that may indicate institutional activity in a symbol.
The strategy builder lets you construct multi-leg options strategies from a library including long/short calls and puts, covered calls, protective puts, straddles, strangles, bull/bear spreads, iron condors, iron butterflies, and calendar spreads.
FO screeners help you find opportunities by OI gainers, OI losers, price movers, put/call ratio, and implied volatility, plus a custom options screener. The FO dashboard shows Nifty and BankNifty PCR and market sentiment.

Your recent searches are stored (50 on the server with a local fallback of 10) so you can quickly repeat searches. Search history can be managed from the search page.
Trade ideas are community-posted analysis for a symbol with a type (technical, fundamental, options, swing, or day trade), sentiment, target price, stop-loss, likes, and view counts. You can pin, like, and discuss them.

Members submit bullish/bearish/neutral votes per symbol across 1D, 1W, and 1M timeframes. Scores are aggregated into a sentiment gauge, and trending stocks combine mention counts with sentiment.
Plans range from Free to Basic, Pro, Premium, and Enterprise (custom). Paid plans are billed monthly, quarterly, or annually, with features grouped into sections like Core Analytics and Trading Tools.
Plans differ in portfolio count, watchlist size, alert limits, screener runs, historical data depth, API access, and AI query quota. Your plan and per-feature usage are shown in the subscription area.

A watchlist is a curated set of symbols you want to track, with per-symbol notes, target price, and stop-loss levels. You can create multiple watchlists for different strategies.
Yes. Watchlists can be marked public and shared with the community. Public watchlists get a dedicated shareable page.
Price alerts (above/below/crosses/change), volume alerts, and trend-based alerts. Each alert has conditions, a trigger value, and can be enabled or disabled with trigger history.
Trend triggers notify you when a symbol transitions from one trend state to another (for example, bullish to bearish), so you never miss a trend change.
Triggered alerts appear in the notification center with status and history. The alert engine evaluates conditions every minute and prevents duplicate notifications with cooldowns.
