How to track sectoral trends using Upstox Pro’s ‘Futures Heatmap’ feature

The Nifty Metal index saw a notable decline today. Major stocks like Hindalco (-8.62%) and Vedanta (-3.78%) led the downtrend, reflecting a bearish sentiment across the metals sector.

Upstox Pro’s ‘Futures Heatmap’ feature allows you to visualise such sectoral trends efficiently. As shown in today’s Futures Heatmap (attached below), you can monitor these real-time price movements by sectors, helping you spot emerging patterns quickly.

Here’s how you can maximise this tool:
