STOCK SCANNER GUIDE

Sector Heatmap Guide

A sector heatmap compares relative movement across groups so an individual stock can be viewed in a broader setting.

Product reference · Reviewed 26 September 2026

What to compare

Look for whether a stock’s sector shows similar participation rather than relying only on the stock’s own move.

Relative, not absolute

A leading sector can still reverse and a lagging sector can recover. The heatmap is a snapshot, not a forecast.

Practical sequence

Review index context, breadth, sector behaviour, the scanner match and finally the individual chart.

Risk reminder

Use this information for software orientation and independent review. It is not a buy, sell or hold recommendation, and no condition or score assures an outcome.
