Following the Money

The Money Flow tile on the SYMBOL card asks who's doing the buying. This page is that read across the whole market — the S&P 500 (plus the Nasdaq 100) ranked by where institutional money has been leaning over the last 60 days.

The measure is simple in spirit: count the dollars that trade on up-days as positive and the dollars on down-days as negative, add them up over the quarter, and see which way the balance tilted. A stock running positive is where capital changed hands on green days — the footprint of quiet accumulation. Negative is the opposite: the heavier money moved on the way down.

Two things shape how to read it. It's a rank, not a raw amount — a top-decile score means this stock's balance sits among the most accumulated in the field, not that the dollar figure is huge. And it's slow — the 60-day window means the picture shifts over weeks, not days. This is positioning information, not a day-trading signal.

The four views below are different cuts of the same data — the deepest accumulation, the deepest distribution, where the picture changed most recently, and the names being quietly, steadily accumulated. They're views, not picks: on their own, none of these slices reliably beats the market. Flow earns its keep on the SYMBOL card, read against a stock's price — here it's a way to see where the money is leaning across the board.

Deepest accumulation

The highest money-flow ranks in the cohort right now — where the up-day buying footprint is deepest.

Deepest distribution

The lowest ranks — where the down-day selling footprint is deepest.

Where it's changing

Stocks whose flow rank moved the most in the last month. Climbers (left) saw the biggest improvement in their buying footprint; decliners (right) the biggest deterioration. The two 60-day windows behind the change overlap by half, so steady names barely move — only a real recent shift surfaces here.

Steady accumulation

Stocks where the flow rank is high (≥ 70) and has barely moved in a month — positioning that's persistent rather than just-flipped. The names where conviction has been sitting quietly, not rushing in or out.
