How JaySense researches NSE stocks, what each signal means, and how to use the Research Score in your own workflow — without logging in.
JayScore is a composite research score from 0–100 that JaySense computes for every NSE-listed stock each night after market close. It summarises nine dimensions of a stock's health — from trend and momentum through to fundamentals, institutional activity, and risk — into a single number.
A higher score means the research engine finds more positive signals across more dimensions. A score of 70 or above typically means at least 6 of the 9 dimensions are showing positive readings.
Each dimension contributes to the total score. Weights are not disclosed.
| Dimension | What it measures | Positive signal means… |
|---|---|---|
| Trend | Price direction relative to key moving average levels | Stock is above its medium and long-term averages |
| Momentum | Rate and consistency of recent price movement | Price is accelerating upward with no exhaustion signals |
| Volume | Conviction behind the price move | Rising prices are accompanied by above-average volume |
| Fundamental | Business quality and financial health indicators | Strong profitability ratios and clean balance sheet |
| Valuation | Current price relative to intrinsic and peer value | Stock is not significantly overpriced vs. earnings and peers |
| Growth | Revenue and earnings trajectory over recent quarters | Consistent quarter-on-quarter improvement |
| Institutional | FII and DII buying/selling behaviour | Institutions are net buyers over recent periods |
| Sector | Whether the stock's sector is in a bullish regime | Sector is outperforming the broader market |
| Risk | Volatility, earnings uncertainty, and event-risk exposure | Low/manageable risk — no imminent earnings cliff or high VIX exposure |
| Research Band | Score | What it typically means |
|---|---|---|
| High Conviction | 80–100 | Most dimensions are positive. Engine finds a well-aligned multi-signal setup. Highest win rate band in historical backtests. |
| Positive | 70–79 | Majority of dimensions are positive. Reasonable research candidate for further study. |
| Mixed | 55–69 | Mixed signals — some positive, some negative. Worth watchlisting; not yet a high-confidence research candidate. |
| Weak | Below 55 | More dimensions are negative than positive. Research engine does not find a favourable setup at this time. |
A Research Candidate is a stock that passes JaySense's composite filter: JayScore ≥ 68, at least one swing setup signal active, and volume confirmation present. The engine produces a prioritised list each night — the top of the list has the highest score with the best signal alignment.
A Research Candidate is not a buy recommendation. It is the engine's shortlist of stocks that meet the multi-factor criteria and are worth studying further before any trading decision.
These four signal states appear on each stock page.
Open the Screener (requires free account) and sort by JayScore. Filter to score ≥ 70. This narrows the list to stocks where the engine finds a majority of positive signals — a starting point for your own research, not a buy recommendation.
Every public stock page shows a plain-English paragraph explaining why the engine scored the stock as it did — which dimensions are positive, which are weak, and what the setup state is. Use this to quickly decide if the stock warrants further study.
A stock with a high score in a bearish market or weak sector has lower conviction. Use the Market Pulse page to check overall market health and the Sector pages to confirm the sector regime before finalising your shortlist.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) are the largest market participants on NSE. Their net buying or selling in a stock has a strong correlation with sustained price moves.
JaySense uses FII/DII data as one input to the Institutional dimension of JayScore. FII/DII net flow is shown on the Market Pulse page.
