How to Read a Daily US Stock Data Report
A good daily report lets you see in 5 minutes: where money is flowing, what the dark pool is doing, how heavy short pressure is, and where sentiment sits.
What a report usually includes
Typical dimensions: order flow (institutional/retail), dark pool, short volume ratio, options P/C ratio, market sentiment, and price/volume structure.
A suggested reading order
- Market backdrop first — index and sentiment set the tone.
- Then per-stock flow — who is being bought and sold.
- Then divergences — flow vs price, sentiment vs price.
How to judge a good report
- Cross-verifiable data — dimensions confirm each other.
- Clear definitions — every metric explains how it is computed.
- No buy/sell advice — it presents data; the decision is yours.
Note: this is data presentation, not investment advice — it helps you see faster what happened today.
Common mistakes
- Treating the report as a prediction.
- Reading only conclusions, not dimensions.
- Drawing conclusions from one day.
