What problem does this solve?

You want to know where the main market readout, weighted chart, and stock details live.

Quick answer

Market Intelligence sits beside the main weighted-movement chart. The All, Down, Up, Impact, and Biggest Movers views organize the stock cards below.

Steps

  1. Check the status strip at the top for the provider connection and current market-session state.
  2. Read Market Intelligence for selected-basket breadth and contribution context.
  3. Use the main chart to inspect weighted movement over the chosen interval.
  4. Choose All, Down, Up, Impact, or Biggest Movers to change the stock-card view.
  5. Use the Find and sort controls above the cards to locate or order symbols.

What you should see

A desktop workspace with Market Intelligence, a weighted chart, market-view tabs, dashboard controls, and stock cards. Displayed values depend on your own connection and selected basket.
