Is the conviction score a buy/sell recommendation?

No. Conviction measures signal alignment, not future returns. A 'Strong Bullish' stock can still fall if macro conditions change. Use conviction as one input alongside your own research, not as a standalone trading signal.

How often is the conviction score updated?

Scores recalculate after end-of-day data is processed (typically by 7–8 PM IST). During market hours, the screener's Live mode shows real-time signal detection, but the full conviction score waits for delivery and institutional data, which arrives post-market.

What makes aftermarkets' conviction different from other screeners?

Most screeners show individual indicators (RSI, MACD, volume). Conviction uniquely combines delivery data, institutional flows, and market breadth into a single convergence score. It asks 'are all the smart-money signals pointing the same way?' rather than 'is RSI oversold?'

What is the conviction score?

The conviction score measures how many independent market signals align in the same direction for a stock. High conviction means delivery, volume, institutional flows, breadth, and deals all point the same way at the same time.
