How is the price movement calculated in FYERS?
On FYERS, price movement stats like Day, Week, Month, and Year help you understand how a stock has performed over various time ranges. These figures are automatically calculated based on the most recent Last Traded Price (LTP) and historical closing prices.
Calculation method across time frames
The same basic formula is used for all durations:
- Change = Latest Traded Price (LTP) − Previous Close
- % Change = (Change / Previous Close) × 100
The only difference is how the "Previous Close" is determined:
1 Day (1D)
- What it means: How much the stock has moved since the previous trading day’s close.
- Example: If the stock closed at ₹8,371.00 yesterday and the current price is ₹8,286.50, it’s down ₹84.50 (−1.01%).
1 Week (1W)
- What it means: Price change compared to 5 trading days ago.
- Example: If it was ₹8,468.00 five sessions back and is now ₹8,286.50, that’s a drop of ₹181.50 (−2.14%).
1 Month (1M)
- What it means: How much the stock has changed over the past 30 calendar days.
- Example: If it was ₹8,741.00 30 days ago and is now ₹8,286.50, the drop is ₹454.50 (−5.20%).
1 Year (1Y)
- What it means: The movement in price over the last 365 calendar days.
- Example: If the stock was ₹9,602.25 one year ago and it’s now ₹8,286.50, it’s fallen by ₹1,315.75 (−13.70%).
Troubleshooting / What If
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Market is closed today | No intraday change is shown; values reflect the last trading session. |
| Stock wasn’t traded on the reference date | The system uses the most recent available close prior to the date for comparison. |
| Price hits circuit limits | LTP shown may reflect the upper/lower circuit limit if that was the final trade. |
| Inconsistent display | Refresh the FYERS platform or wait for updated market data. |
Tip: FYERS calculates monthly and yearly change based on calendar days, not just trading sessions. This includes weekends and holidays.
