The Indices page is the world map of equity markets in one screen. 25 indices across three regions, plus a volatility shelf at the bottom for the vol-and-fear gauges. Use it to scan for outliers — anything in deep red or green is asking a question.

Volatility shelf

VIX, VIX3M, VXN, MOVE, SKEW, VVIX, COR3M — the vol-and-fear gauges, displayed as cards at the bottom of the page. → What each volatility ticker tells you
The Volatility and Market Breadth panels each have a gear icon in their header — click it to customize which metrics (including the breadth cockpit’s five dimensions) show. The World Indices regions have per-region gears too. And the page-header Layout button goes further — remove and rearrange entire sections.

​
The comparison chart

Up top, one chart overlays your chosen series as % change from the window’s start — S&P vs NASDAQ 100 vs Russell vs Dow out of the box. The + picker adds anything to the mix, organized in four groups:
  • Indices — the 25 world indices
  • Sectors — the 11 US sector ETFs
  • Factors — equal-weight S&P (RSP), large growth/value, momentum, low volatility, quality, high beta, dividend
  • Baskets (L/S) — auramarkets’ own factor baskets (below)
  • Industry Groups — ~35 groups from software and semis through uranium, copper miners, and cloud
  • Any stock — type a ticker or company name in the picker’s search box and an Add stock entry appears; picking it fetches that name’s history and drops it on the chart as a normal series. Your additions persist across visits.
It runs on the same engine as the stock pop-out, so all the TradingView-style moves work here too:
  • Hover — crosshair with a per-index readout, each value colored green/red (with time-of-day on intraday views)
  • Scroll — zoom the time axis, anchored at your cursor; drag the plot to pan
  • Drag the x- or y-axis strip to stretch that axis; double-click to reset
  • Timeframes — 1D through 3Y, plus Custom with start/end date pickers. The 1D view anchors to the prior close, so overnight gaps show.
Short windows plot at sub-daily resolution: 1D uses 5-minute bars, 1W uses 15-minute bars, and 1M is hourly — so a week actually looks like a week of tape, not five dots. 3M and longer stay daily. (Custom-added stocks are daily-only; if one is selected on 1W/1M the whole chart falls back to daily so the lines stay aligned.) The legend below doubles as the scoreboard — each index’s current window % lives next to its name, and clicking a legend entry toggles that line on or off.

​
The factor baskets

The Baskets (L/S) group carries five series auramarkets computes in-house — the same kind of custom baskets banks publish behind Bloomberg licensing, rebuilt transparently on a ~900-name liquid universe: All are point-in-time month-end rebalances with buy-and-hold drift in between, and each is validated against a reference ETF (the momentum long leg runs ~0.91 daily correlation to MTUM; high beta ~0.95 to SPHB; low vol ~0.97 to SPLV). The L/S spreads are market-neutral; the two long baskets are the classic squeeze/de-grossing gauges. → The Factors page (nav: Markets → Factors) is their full home — scoreboard, rotation quadrant, correlation matrix, monthly quilt, and the complete membership books. Why they exist: extreme moves in these spreads mark positioning events — a momentum unwind, a short squeeze, a de-grossing day — that index-level charts hide. When one moves ≥2σ against its own history, it surfaces automatically as an observation in the Market Pulse equities read. Daily series (no intraday), so they plot at daily resolution on any timeframe.

​
Below the index map

Scroll past the 25 cards and the page turns into a US single-stock dashboard: Top Gainers / Top Losers, a Today’s Earnings strip, then New Highs / New Lows, then Above MA / Below MA, then Sectors and Industry Groups, then Factor Rotation (powered by the in-house factor baskets) and Sector Rotation (ratio pairs), and finally the Thematic Heatmap — a full-market treemap you can flip between a 40-theme thematic taxonomy and the classic S&P 500 sector map. The Sectors, Industry Groups, and both rotation panels each offer three views: ranked bars, a line chart, and a correlation matrix — trailing-60-session daily-return correlations, color-coded (blue = moves together, red = opposes). The matrix is the crowding check: when everything reads blue, the rotation trades are really one trade. On panels with a chart view (the movers, Sectors, and Industry Groups), the 1D line charts trace the real intraday path — 15-minute sampling through the session — not a straight close-to-close line, so you can see whether a +1% day was a steady grind or a morning spike that faded.

​
Today’s Earnings

Two cards — Before Open and After Close — listing the day’s reporters sorted by size, each with sector, market cap, implied move, and EPS estimate. A Notable / All toggle keeps it tight (Notable shows the ≥$10B names), and clicking any row opens that name’s stock pop-out. A Full calendar → link jumps to the macro earnings calendar. The panel updates live as results land. Once a name reports, its row flips to results mode:
  • A BEAT / MISS / IN LINE pill
  • The actual price reaction replaces the implied move (hover to compare against what options had priced)
  • The estimate line becomes EPS 6.14 vs 5.59 est (+5.9%)
Before-open names show their tape reaction from 9:30; the EPS numbers join within minutes-to-an-hour of each print as they’re published. The panel refreshes itself every few minutes — no reload needed. After-hours reporters never show a same-day “reaction” (theirs isn’t visible until the next session). → Which names are at new highs / lows → Which names are testing or stretched from a key moving average → Where the market is moving, theme by theme
Every selector and toggle on this page — the movers market and timeframe, %/Zσ mode, bars/chart view, the index-table columns, and the rest — is remembered per account, so the page reopens exactly how you left it.

How most people use it

  • Morning scan — open Indices, eye sweep across regions for outliers
  • Cross-region check — when US is up but Asia/Europe were red overnight, that’s a story worth digging into
  • Vol context — when you’re watching the S&P, glance at the volatility shelf to see whether vol is confirming or rejecting the move
