Audit trail

Method and data quality

9 of 9 source sections were available when the edition was frozen.

Market window
Completed NSE sessions from 2026-10-12 through 2026-10-16; the final session may precede Friday in a holiday-shortened week.
Breadth
Equal-count advance/decline breadth among active stocks tagged to the Nifty 500, using the certified NSE corporate-action-adjusted series.
Stock ranking
Top three stocks in each market cohort by price return over five completed sessions. Ranking does not use U-Score or Four-Score.
Themes
Robust equal-weight theme returns with breadth and coverage checks; rotation is measured against Nifty 500 using 13-week relative return and four-week acceleration.
Global context
Final India-session observations for Nifty 50, Nifty 500 and Dow Futures are aligned by date and each series is rebased to 100 at the first shared observation. Dow Futures is a global risk cue captured during Indian market hours, not the official Dow Jones cash close. Returns are local-index moves and are not currency-adjusted.
Events
Results, exchange-sourced order announcements and published IndiaPulse signals are included only when their dated evidence falls inside the report window.
Limitations
This is a descriptive evidence snapshot, not a buy list. Returns exclude costs and liquidity impact; incomplete data remain visible as limitations rather than being imputed.
