How this works. We fuse Darvas breakouts, Piotroski quality, Coffee Can, Magic Formula, Bull Cartel, golden-cross momentum, breakout-quality grades, and a clipped ML bullish flag. Illiquid names are gated out so picks are tradeable. CORE = multi-screen agreement. Sleeves in ranked set: MOMENTUM 330 · WATCH 206 · CORE 103 · QUALITY 82.
Not investment advice. Screens are mechanical filters on historical/public data. Past patterns do not guarantee future returns. Size positions for your risk, costs, and taxes. Prefer paper-tracking before capital.

How this site works

Data-led analysis of India's trade, currency and industrial policy. Every article is built from primary official sources, and every figure links back to the release, table or filing it came from.

Sources. DGCI&S TradeStat (imports/exports, HSN-wise) · PIB (government press releases, January 2017 to today, refreshed daily) · RBI (circulars, balance of payments) · MoSPI (CPI/WPI, IIP) · PARIVESH (environmental clearances) · CCIL (bond yields) · BIS (policy rates) · SEBI, NSE/BSE and SEC filings for company data.

Interpretation. Figures carry their vintage and retrieval date; estimates and press-reported numbers are labelled as such; where sources disagree, both are shown. Corrections are made visibly, never silently. Articles are written with AI assistance from the cited sources — AI-generated text can misstate figures even when working from real material, so verify any number that matters to a decision against the linked primary source.
