FAQ: Financial Markets

Open any market list and click the instrument ticker or name. Market tables display instruments as clickable entries, and symbol pages are organized with breadcrumbs such as Markets → Metals → XAUUSD.

Use the search field at the top of the site. The interface supports searches in the format @user and $symbol, so you can look up an instrument directly by ticker, for example $XAUUSD or $EURUSD.

Market tables show the current price together with performance columns such as 24h %, 7d %, 1M %, and 1Y %. In stock lists, you may also see Market Cap and a Last 7 Days mini-chart, which helps you compare instruments at a glance.

On a symbol page, Daily Change is the instrument’s one-day percentage move shown on the page. Many symbol pages also display Monthly Change, 6 month change, and Year Change for a broader performance view.

A symbol page gives you a detailed view of one instrument. Depending on the instrument, it can include:

• ticker and full instrument name
• current price and percentage change
• category details
• range data
• key market statistics
• related news
• a link to the full chart

For example, the XAUUSD page shows Sector, Base, Profit Currency, Daily Range, Year Range, Daily Change, Monthly Change, 6 month change, Year Change, Previous Close, Open, Low, High, Volume, related news, and an Open full chart button.

Daily Range shows the low-to-high interval displayed for the current day. Year Range shows the broader low-to-high interval for the yearly range shown on the symbol page. These fields help you quickly compare short-term movement with the bigger picture.

First open the symbol page for the instrument you want to analyze. Then click Open full chart near the top of the page to switch to the detailed chart view for that same instrument.

A market list is designed for scanning many instruments quickly and comparing their prices and performance. A symbol page is focused on one instrument and provides more detail, including quote data, range and performance statistics, related news, and a direct link to the full chart.

First make sure you are in the correct asset class or subgroup. Some instruments are grouped by sector or region, such as stocks by sector, currencies by region, and indices by geography. If you still cannot find the instrument, use the top search field and search by $symbol.

A simple workflow is:

1. Open Markets
2. Choose an asset class
3. Open the instrument you want
4. Review its quote, change, and key stats
5. Click Open full chart for deeper analysis

This gives you a fast path from market overview to the detailed chart of a specific instrument.

This is a quick overview of the company’s financial health and how the market values its stock. There are no trading signals here—this is analytical information designed to help you understand the context: whether the business is growing, if there is enough cash, how debt is changing, and how expensive or cheap the stock looks based on its multiples.

The charts are organized by year (usually the last 5 years). This makes it easy to track trends: increases or decreases in revenue, profits, and cash flow, as well as changes in market valuation.

B — billions (for example, 130.5 B = 130.5 billion).
T — trillions (for example, 2.89 T = 2.89 trillion).

This section is about financial stability:

• Total debt — the company's total debt.
• Free cash flow (FCF): the amount of “disposable” cash remaining after operating expenses and capital expenditures.
• Cash and cash equivalents (liquid reserves).

A useful rule of thumb: if FCF is growing steadily, it’s easier for a company to invest in growth, buy back shares, pay dividends, and service its debt. If debt is growing faster than cash and free cash flow, the risk increases.

A negative FCF means that the company spent more money during this period than it “earned” in cash terms. This can happen for various reasons: due to active investments (such as expanding capacity) or due to business challenges. It is important to look at the trends over several years and compare them with revenue/profit growth.

Market capitalization: the approximate “market value of a company” (share price × number of shares outstanding). This is an indicator of the company's market size.

• Total revenue: the company's total sales or income for the period.
• Net income: what remains after all expenses, interest, and taxes have been paid.

In simple terms: revenue reflects the “scale of the business,” while net profit reflects “how much the business ultimately earns.” If revenue is growing but profits are falling, either profit margins are shrinking or expenses are rising.

This is the “market valuation” section:

• P/E (Price-to-Earnings) — price-to-earnings ratio (how much the market pays for each unit of earnings).
• P/S (Price-to-Sales) — the price-to-sales ratio (how much the market pays for each unit of revenue).

Generally speaking, the higher the ratio, the “more expensive” the stock is relative to its earnings or revenue. However, it is more appropriate to compare P/E and P/S ratios with companies in the same industry, taking growth rates into account.

The P/E ratio can be: very high—if the market expects strong earnings growth in the future, or if earnings are temporarily low (in which case the denominator becomes large).
"N/A" — if the profit was zero or negative, or if there is insufficient data for the calculation.

• Dividends per share — dividends per share (typically, the total amount paid out for the year).
• Dividend yield % — dividend yield: dividends per share divided by the share price (as a percentage).

If the yield is shown as “—”, it usually means that the company does not pay dividends, or that the data is incomplete or updated with a delay.

1. Business growth: Are revenue and profits growing or stagnating?
2. The quality of money: Does FCF confirm earnings (does FCF grow along with earnings), or not?
3. Sustainability: How much cash is in the accounts, and how does debt compare to FCF and cash reserves?
4. Rating: P/E and P/S ratios are rising/falling—does this mean the market now values the company more highly or less highly?
5. Dividends: Are there any payouts, and are they stable?

Differences may arise due to: different data sources and calculation methods (GAAP/non-GAAP, TTM vs. annual), rounding, restatements following corporate events (stock splits), and delays in updating financial reports. If you notice a significant discrepancy, compare the time period (year), currency, and type of indicator.
