About the advance decline ratio

Advance decline ratio today is the number of shares that rose in a trading session divided by the number that fell, across NSE and BSE. Above 1, more shares rose than fell. It is a measure of market breadth, how widely a move in prices is shared.

How the ratio is counted

Every listed share on NSE or BSE that traded in the session counts once, by its move from the previous close. A share that closed higher is a rise, lower is a fall, and the same price is unchanged. Unchanged shares are shown in their own column but left out of the ratio. Funds and other exchange-traded units are excluded.

Why every share counts equally

Each share carries the same weight whatever its size. An index such as the Nifty 50 is weighted by market cap, so a few large companies can move it while most shares fall. The ratio ignores size, so the two can disagree.

The advance decline line

The line is a running total of each session's rises minus its falls. It starts at zero on the first session drawn, so its level means nothing and only its direction is read. A line that keeps rising while the index rises shows broad participation. An index that rises while the line falls is called a negative divergence: the rally rests on fewer shares.

Shares above their averages

The page also shows the percentage of companies whose close is above the average of their closing prices over the last 50 sessions (about ten weeks) and the last 200 sessions (about ten months). The 50-day figure follows the shorter trend and the 200-day figure the longer one.

Timing and history

Rise and fall counts update every quarter hour while the market is open, from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm, and then with closing prices. The session table covers about the last year of sessions and can be sorted. The history and the averages update once a day after the close. Rises and falls are also shown for each sector.

What is the advance-decline ratio?

The number of shares that rose in a session divided by the number that fell. Above 1, more shares rose than fell; below 1, more fell. It counts every share the same, so it shows how widely the market moved, which an index, led by its largest companies, can hide.

What is the advance-decline line?

A running total of each session's rises less its falls, counted from 2 Jan 2007, the first session on record. Its level means nothing on its own; its direction does. A line falling while the largest companies rise says fewer and fewer shares are taking part.

Which shares are counted?

Every listed company's share that traded in the session on NSE or BSE, once each, by its move from the previous close. Funds and other units traded on the exchange are left out.

What does above the 200-day average mean?

A share's closing price is above the average of its closes over the last 200 sessions, about ten months. The share of companies above it is a common measure of how many shares are in a longer rise; the 50-day average, about ten weeks, measures the same over a shorter time.

When is it updated?

The counts of rises and falls every quarter hour while the market is open and with the closing prices after the session; the history and the averages once a day after the close.
