What is the Heatmap in FYERS and how to read it?

The Heatmap shows how a set of stocks (your Universe, e.g., Nifty 50) is doing right now. Each block is one stock. Block size controls how big the block looks. Block colour controls how green/red it is.

Default view: Universe = Nifty 50, Block size = Market cap, Block colour = Day’s change %, Heat multiplier = Balanced.

How it works

Blocks: Size shows scale (e.g., Market cap). Colour shows performance (e.g., 1D chg %).

You choose the inputs:

  • Block size (e.g., Market cap)
  • Block colour (e.g., 1D/1W/1M chg % or a ratio like P/E)

The number shown on each block is the real value from the metric you chose, and it does not change.

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%.

  • The Heat multiplier only changes how strong the colours look. It does not change the number.

    • Heat multiplier (Web & App):

    • Baseline: the neutral point for colour (e.g., 0% for returns). Above = green, below = red. For ratios where lower is better (like P/E), colours flip automatically.
    • Sensitivity (Multiplier): how strong the colours look. Higher = stronger greens/reds. Lower = softer colours.
    • When to change: If colours look too similar, raise sensitivity. If too strong, lower it. If presets don’t suit your style or risk level, change the Baseline to what feels right.

    Example: Baseline changes colour, not the number

    • You set Block colour = 1D chg %. A stock is +0.5% today.
    • Baseline = 0% → +0.5% is above 0% → the block looks green.
    • Baseline = +1% → +0.5% is below +1% → the same block may look red or neutral.
    • The value still shows +0.5%. Only the colour rule changed.

    Drilldown: Click/tap through Sector → Industry → Stock. Use the on-screen Back/breadcrumb to go up.

    FYERS Web

    1. Open Analytics › Heatmap.
    2. Pick your Universe (e.g., Nifty 50).
    3. Choose Block size and Block colour.
    4. Use Heat multiplier to adjust Baseline and Sensitivity if colours are too faint or too strong.
    5. Click Reset all (on the toolbar, next to Heat multiplier) to go back to defaults.
    6. Click a sector to see industries, then stocks.

    FYERS App

    2. Check the index label and Last updated time at the top.
    3. Tap the three lines icon (top right) to open settings.

    5. Tap a sector to drill down to industries and stocks. Use Back to return.

    Notes

    • Always check the index label and Last updated time first.
    • If colours look too similar or too strong, tweak Heat multiplier (Baseline/Sensitivity).
    • On Web, Reset all brings everything back to default.

    What If…

    Colours look too similarIncrease Sensitivity or adjust the Baseline in Heat multiplier.
    I made many changes and want to start over (Web)Click Reset all on the toolbar. Use Reset inside Heat multiplier to undo just Baseline/Sensitivity.
    I want to compare another angleOpen the Bubble chart for the same Universe and cross-check.
