Find the trend the evening it turns.
After every close, 57 published rules read 1,700 NSE companies for what a momentum investor looks for: fresh highs, leadership against the market, volume behind a move, the sectors money is rotating into. Every flag is dated the evening it fires and followed in public until it is 15% down or still open — scored against the market, whether it worked or not.
Where the trend is, at the close of 21 October 2026.
204 of 1,700 companies closed higher. Every number below is a count across the whole exchange; no company is named here. The names are on the desk, each with the rule that put it there.
One evening, start to finish.
No alerts during market hours, nothing to watch, no terminal to leave open. The work happens after the close and it is finished before dinner.
- 3:30 pmThe market closesNothing here runs during the session. Every number on this site is a closing price, which is the only price everyone gets.
- By 6 pmThe exchange files landBhavcopy, bulk and block deals, corporate filings, shareholding patterns, index levels. The exchanges' own files, not a data vendor's summary.
- 6–7 pm57 rules read 1,700 companiesEvery rule is a plain test you can read on its own page. A company appears on a list because a rule matched it, and for no other reason.
- By 7:30 pmYour desk is readyWhat changed since last night, where several kinds of evidence agree, who bought size, which sectors the money moved into, and every name behind each.
Times are the target on an ordinary trading day. When a source is late the build says so on the page rather than quietly using yesterday’s file — the status page shows every feed and when it last arrived.
Every flag since 18 Aug, and where it stands tonight.
Of every 10 companies flagged, 2 are higher tonight than the evening they were flagged.
The typical flag has moved -8.5% in 32 sessions; the typical company on the exchange moved -6.7% over the same days.
469 flags reached the 15% line and were closed there. No flag on this record is ever carried further down than that.
The largest move up is +161.3%. The largest move down is -90.4%, on the evening it closed.
Counting only the rules that have beaten the market in the backtest: 1,525 companies, 23% higher tonight, typical move -8.6%.
Past closes, shown after the fact, for companies the published rules flagged. A record of what happened, not a forecast of what will. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, hold or sell anything.
No score is an opinion. Here is the arithmetic.
- A rule firesOne of 57 published rules matches a company at the close. Each rule is a plain test anyone can read; the definition is on its page.
- It is counted by kindA company is judged by how many kinds of evidence point at it, not how many rules. Five trend rules agreeing is one signal wearing five hats. A rule that matches most of the market that night is shown but not counted.
- The flag is datedThe evening a company is first flagged goes into a public store before the next session opens. It cannot be edited afterwards.
- It is scored against the marketEvery flag is followed forward from its own evening and compared with the median stock over the same days. Beating zero is easy in a bull market; beating the market is the test.
- It stops at 15%A flag that closes 15% below the evening it fired is closed and stays in the record at that price. A bookkeeping rule, so losers cannot be carried until they recover; not an instruction.
- The rule keeps its own recordEvery rule’s past matches are measured the same way, and the losing rules are published beside the winning ones.
Rules, families, columns and the market regime are all explained in plain words on the method page, with tonight’s number beside each.
One company. One rule fired. Watch what happened next.
A live flag from the last few weeks, drawn from the evening it fired to tonight. The company is not named here. It is on the desk.
- 21 August 2026 The close met 20 published rules: Above the 200-day EMA and 19 more. It went on the evening list.
- Since then 41 sessions. The close is +161.3% from the flag; the market moved -7.1% over the same days.
- The name is on the desk, with every other name the rules flag each evening.
Real companies the rules flagged, and what the price did after.
Every chart is one company from the live record: grey before the evening a rule fired, colour after. Names are withheld here and shown on the desk. The best 6 are picked by size of move, which is the flattering way to choose, so the most recent flags to close at the 15% line sit beside them. Only companies trading at least ₹2 crore a day are drawn here; the thinnest names, where a small order moves the price, are counted in the record below but not pictured.
Three questions, asked of every stock, every evening.
A momentum investor wants to know whether a move is real before the crowd has decided it is. These are the rules that ask, written so anyone can read them, each with its own record beside it once one exists. A stock gets on a list because a rule fired — never because someone likes it.

The fourth question is the market itself. Momentum is the most regime-dependent kind of evidence there is, so the record for each rule is kept separately for a trending, a rangebound and a falling market, and every list on the desk carries the regime read for that evening beside it.
Which sectors the money moved into.
The median stock in each sector, week by week, ranked on the last four. A sector climbing this table on several small positive weeks is being accumulated; one that led three months ago and now sits low has been sold down. Sectors are named; the stocks inside them are on the desk.

57 rules run every close. 15 of them lose to simply owning the market.
Pick any one and read its record. The filter for the ones that do not work is not an oversight — it is the point. A track record with the losers taken out is not a track record.
Closed at the day's high
Beat the marketFinished the session at its strongest point. Buyers were still bidding at the bell.
Edge is the average excess return against the equal-weighted universe over the same window, across every past signal in the store. It is a description of what happened, not a forecast, and no row here names a security.
The questions worth asking first.
No. Axe Cap runs published rules and reports what came out of them, with the measured record of each rule beside it. There are no entries, no targets, no stops, no buy or sell ratings, and no page is personalised — every subscriber sees the same output. What to do with it is your decision.
Because a research analyst makes recommendations and this does not, by design. It is an information and analytics service: measurements computed from the exchanges’ own files. That is a deliberate choice about what this product is, not a gap we intend to close.
It stays published, with its record, alongside the ones that are working. The record page carries every rule — including the ones that have never fired and the ones whose measured return is negative. A site that only shows its winners is not showing you a record.
No. Everything is computed after the close and ready the same evening. There is nothing to monitor intraday, and nothing on this site updates while the market is open.

Only as far as the engine has actually been running. Every flag is dated the evening it fired and stored before the next session opens, so it cannot be edited afterwards. Where a rule has too few resolved signals to say anything, the page says that instead of showing a number.
