What does Block colour mean on the Heatmap, and how do I change it?

Block colour is the shade shown on each stock’s block. It comes from the metric you choose (for example, 1D chg % or a ratio like P/E). You can change the metric and also adjust how strong the colours look.

FYERS Web

  1. Open Analytics › Heatmap.
  2. Click Block colour → pick the metric you want the colour to represent (e.g., 1D chg %, 1W chg %, P/E, etc.) → Apply.
  3. (Optional) Open Heat multiplier to tune:
    • Baseline (neutral point where green/red starts)
    • Sensitivity (how strong or soft the colours look)
  4. Use Reset inside the Block colour dialog to clear only that choice, or Reset all on the toolbar (next to Heat multiplier) to revert the whole Heatmap.

FYERS App

  1. Go to Markets (bottom nav) › Analytics › Heatmap.
  2. Tap the three lines icon (top right) to open Preferences.
  3. Open Block colour → choose the metric (e.g., 1D chg %, 1M chg %, P/E) → tap Apply.
  4. (Optional) In Heat multiplier, adjust Baseline and Sensitivity → Apply.
  5. (Optional) Tap Reset at the bottom of Preferences to clear your changes.

Notes

  • The number printed on a block is the real value of the metric you chose. It never changes when you adjust Heat multiplier; only the shade changes.
  • For ratios where a lower value is better (e.g., P/E, P/S), colours are auto-reversed so “better” shows greener.

Example

You set Block colour = 1D chg %. A stock shows +0.8%. If you change the Heat multiplier (Baseline/Sensitivity), the block may look more or less green/red, but the number still shows +0.8%.

What If?

I want colours to show today’s moveSet Block colour to 1D chg % and Apply.
I want a longer trendChoose 1M or 3M chg % for Block colour.
Colours look too faint or too strongOpen Heat multiplier → raise or lower Sensitivity; adjust Baseline if needed.
I want valuation colours (green = cheaper)Pick a ratio like P/E; colours auto-reverse so lower values look greener.
I picked the wrong colour metricUse Reset in Block colour to clear it, or Reset all (Web) to start over.
