What the plate is
One file per completed session. Groups run down the side, market-capitalization tiers across, and every security is a single colour-coded tile. The deployed page is generated from the current matrix artifact plus a read-only market database; nothing on it is fetched, computed, or narrated at read time.
Tiers
| Tier | Market capitalization | Session count | Traded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega | ≥ $200B | 71 | $357B |
| Large | $10B – $200B | 848 | $349B |
| Mid | $2B – $10B | 1,069 | $87.6B |
| Small | $300M – $2B | 1,067 | $18.4B |
| Micro | < $300M | 187 | $1.34B |
Market capitalization is restated for the session: the reference capitalization and the close on the day it was captured give a share count, which is multiplied by the session close. A security with no capitalization reference is counted in group statistics but appears in no tier column.
Metrics
| Tile colour | Definition | Bucket edges for 2026-11-09 |
|---|---|---|
| 1D | Today's close-to-close return. | 0.73% · 1.44% · 2.22% · 3.31% · 4.86% · 7.38% |
| 1D/ADR | Today's return divided by the 20-session average daily range: how large the move was for this security. | 0.22x · 0.41x · 0.61x · 0.82x · 1.07x · 1.39x |
| 1W | Five-session return. | 0.86% · 2.01% · 3.48% · 5.55% · 8.55% · 14.14% |
| 1M | Twenty-session return. | 2.93% · 5.90% · 8.81% · 12.06% · 16.98% · 25.17% |
| 52W | Drawdown from the 52-week high; near the high reads neutral, deep drawdowns read weak. | 5.15% · 10.91% · 17.61% · 25.60% · 36.85% · 53.11% |
Colour is a thirteen-step diverging ramp. Edges are equal-area quantiles of the session's own cross-section, raised to documented absolute floors so a quiet session stays quiet. The neutral bucket recedes into the plate background; only genuine outliers carry saturation. The default metric weights a move against the security's own average daily range, so a 3% move in a 1% range name outranks a 3% move in a 6% range name.
Row statistics
- Row figure — dollar-volume-weighted 1D return of the group's metric members. Rows are ranked by it, strongest first.
- Breadth bar — share of members that closed higher.
- Counts — advancing / declining members.
- Rank delta — change in rank against the prior session using the same calculation.
- Sparkline (themes only) — 20-session trail of the group's relative 20-day momentum, centred on zero.
- +N — group members in that tier that are not drawn as a tile: either beyond the per-cell cap of 10 or placed under their primary group.
Stock placement
A security appears exactly once, so no breadth count is ever inflated by drawing the same name twice. Placement prefers the security's strongest taxonomy role (core, then enabler, then adjacent), then the lowest theme identifier. Every membership still counts in each group's aggregate statistics, and the detail panel lists all of them. Memberships flagged as adjacent context are excluded from group metrics by the taxonomy itself.
Grouping
Themes come from the audited Market Atlas taxonomy and are the primary lens: they cover a minority of the universe and the majority of traded dollar volume. Industries come from the vendor classification and give the whole universe a home, ordered into sector bands with the strongest band first. Both row sets ship in the same page; the row-view switch beside the colour metric selects which one is drawn, and the figures do not change between them. A group row is only drawn when it clears a minimum membership and traded-value floor, which keeps single-name noise off the plate.
Dollar volume and significance
Tiles are ordered inside each cell by dollar volume, group figures are dollar-weighted, and the tier headers report the value each tier actually traded. Thin names therefore cannot visually outshout a group that is receiving institutional flow, and the size columns stay honest about where that flow sits.
Data notes
- Current session 2026-11-09, compared with 2026-11-06; snapshot 2026-11-09-0c22a627709b.
- 5,563 archive securities; 3,281 liquid or themed securities on the plate.
- 39 securities have no capitalization reference and are excluded from tier columns.
- Archived sessions are reproducible from the same inputs; the artifact schema version is 1.1.0.
- The deployment intentionally exposes the latest session only; the private runner may retain inputs needed for the current document's rolling calculations.
Limitations
Sector and industry labels come from a vendor reference captured periodically, so a recent reclassification may not yet appear. Average daily range uses twenty sessions and is unavailable for short histories. Figures may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or revised.
