Things you should know before buying stocks.
Before buying stocks, we have to research a company thoroughly. We need to research about how the company has performed in the last few years and compare it with its peers and so on. We can analyze the stock based on both technical indicators and fundamental factors using the StockEdge app in just five minutes.
Suppose, we need to find out about a company before taking up the trade, StockEdge will give us full details about the company. You must be wondering how it is possible to get full information about the company in one click. This is what we will discuss in this article. Let us take an example of ITC Ltd.
Stocks Prices
When we select the “stock” tab, a search panel will come. We can search for any company which is listed in NSE and BSE to get the information. Suppose we want to know about ITC Ltd, just type ITC, and click on the company’s name about which we want to know, the price panel will come.
We will see the daily chart of ITC Ltd. We have the option to change the time frame from monthly, quarterly, one year, 2 years and 5 years. Both BSE and NSE price charts are available, we can choose between NSE and BSE charts.
When we choose the monthly chart, we have the options to put technical indicators in the charts (however, this is possible in case of paid version). We can select up to 4 technical indicators. In the picture below I have chosen Simple Moving Average (5 periods), Relative Strength Index, Commodity Channel Index and Money Flow Index. We also have the option to draw the trend line on the chart.
Stocks Deliveries
When we look at the company ’s chart, delivered and traded quantity are the two important parameters to be analyzed. Stock Edge not only provides us with only NSE or BSE traded and delivered quantity and VWAP but also provides us with the average traded and delivered quantity of both the indexes. It is very rare to find this feature in other financial applications. StockEdge has also incorporated Weekly and Monthly Volume & Delivery with all the same features and indicators of daily volume and delivery to enhance and strengthen the analysis to next level.
Stocks Technicals
Let us move on to technical panel. The technical panel has three tabs:-
- Performance
- Levels
- Indicators
Stocks Performance
The performance screen tells us about how the company has performed over the years (upto 5 years). We can also track the performance in multiple time frames such as weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly of both NSE and BSE. The data is presented so well that by looking at it we can say that in which year the company has performed its best.
Stocks Levels
This section gives us information about different price levels of the stock in weekly, monthly and yearly time frames like the previous day close, day high, day low, LTP, previous day open and low.
It also gives us a different time period of Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) like 20, 50, 100 and 200 periods. It also gives us different support and resistance pivot levels which are very important for any technical analyst.
Stocks Indicators
StockEdge consists of many different types of technical indicators. In this screen we will get different kinds of technical indicators such as Relative Strength Index, Commodity Channel Index, William % R, ADX, ATX, MACD etc. There is an “i” icon which tells us about the meaning of that particular indicator. We can also get to know about the range whether the stock is neutral, negative, positive, oversold or overbought and also the value of the indicator.
Stocks Fundamental
StockEdge is known for its data presentation. The fundamental section consists of the Overview, Results and Ratio panels. Let us discuss each of this in detail.
Overview
When we open the Fundamental panel, we will get the fundamental overview of ITC Ltd. or any stock. The overview section tells us about which sector and industry the company belongs to. It also tells us about the major financial indicators such as Earning Per Share (EPS), Price Earnings Ratio (PE), Industry PE and so on both consolidated and standalone basis.
Results
The Results panel consist of the Quarterly, Half yearly & Annual results of the company, both consolidated and standalone. It is not possible for us to remember the results of all the NSE and BSE listed companies and of all the quarters. Therefore, StockEdge helps us in viewing the results and also comparing the results with its past quarters. We can get the idea of the company in which we are investing is whether growing or not.
Ratios
Ratio Analysis is the key parameter of Fundamental Analysis. It helps us to understand the performance and efficiency over the years and also shows the comparison with its peers. The fundamental section of StockEdge consists of many ratios like the Return ratios, Efficiency ratios, Growth ratios, Solvency ratios, Cash Flow Ratios and valuation ratios of the last five years both consolidated and standalone. It does not only tell the value but also explains what ratio implies.

Shareholding
The shareholding panel of StockEdge consists of the pattern and shareholders. When we do an analysis of the company it is important to analyze the shareholding pattern. In the shareholding pattern, StockEdge gives us how much percent of the promoter and public shareholders make up the shareholding pattern of the company of the present and last quarters.
The shareholder’s screen consists of the Promoter, Public, Institutional and Non-institutional shareholder. It is important to know which mutual funds are holding the shares ITC Ltd. or any other company while doing fundamental analysis.
