The Heatmap in FYERS is a visual analytics tool that helps you compare multiple stocks at the same time using size and colour. Each block represents one stock from a selected Universe (for example, Nifty 50), making it easy to spot relative performance, outliers, and trends at a glance.
This is a fully customisable view and serves as the foundation for understanding other visual tools such as Sector Heatmaps and Bubble Charts.
How the Heatmap works
- Each block represents one stock in the selected Universe
- Block size represents the metric you choose (such as Market capitalisation, Returns, or Financial metrics)
- Block colour represents another metric (such as price change %, valuation ratios, or growth parameters)
The number displayed inside each block is the actual value of the selected metric. This value does not change when colour intensity or sensitivity is adjusted.
Default Heatmap view
When you open the Heatmap, the default setup is:
- Universe: Nifty 50
- Block size: Market capitalisation
- Block colour: Day’s price change (%)
- Heat multiplier: Balanced
Customising size and colour
You can independently configure block size and block colour to compare stocks from two different perspectives at the same time.
- Block size can be based on financials, growth, margins, returns, valuation, or quarterly metrics
- Block colour can be based on returns, ratios, or valuation parameters
This flexibility allows you to visually answer questions such as “Which large stocks are underperforming?” or “Which high-growth stocks are also showing price momentum?”
Understanding the Heat multiplier
The Heat multiplier controls how strongly colours appear on the Heatmap. It only affects colour intensity and interpretation — it does not change the value shown inside the block.
Example: If Block colour is set to 1D price change and a stock shows +0.8%, adjusting the Heat multiplier may change how green the block looks, but the value will still display +0.8%.
Drilling down from the Heatmap

What If?
| Scenario | What you can do |
|---|
| Colours look too similar | Increase Sensitivity or adjust the Baseline in the Heat multiplier. |
| Colours look too strong | Lower the Sensitivity to soften the visual intensity. |
| I want to start over | Use Reset all on Web or reset settings from the menu on the App. |
| I want another visual confirmation | Use the Bubble Chart for the same Universe to cross-check trends. |
