Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All prices, volumes, and company figures come from the official PSX Data Portal (dps.psx.com.pk), the end-of-day data the Pakistan Stock Exchange itself publishes. We do not invent, simulate, or randomise quotes. What you see on a stock page is the most recent session we have collected from the exchange, along with the technical indicators and fundamentals we compute on top of that raw data.

Prices are end-of-day figures, collected after each trading session closes and refreshed after every session; some quotes are also refreshed during the day, but nothing here is a live or streaming feed. Every market page states the session its prices come from, and the site header says "Data delayed" when our newest prices are older than the last session that should be in. For reviewing trends, comparing sectors and checking indicators this is the right cadence; for live execution prices, use a licensed broker terminal.

We compute a market-cap-weighted KSE-100 index from the constituent companies, mirroring the methodology the exchange uses: larger companies move the index more than smaller ones. This lets you see the broad direction of the Pakistani market at a glance and compare any individual stock against the benchmark. You can explore the index in detail on the index page.

Company profiles, sector classifications, and index constituents are derived from the official PSX Data Portal and organised so you can browse by sector or drill into an individual stock. Explore the full list of companies or compare performance across sectors using the navigation.

We compute a broad set of widely used indicators on every covered stock, including simple and exponential moving averages (SMA, EMA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD, Average True Range (ATR), Bollinger Bands, the Stochastic oscillator, ADX, On-Balance Volume (OBV), and Williams %R. Together these cover trend, momentum, volatility, and volume so you can analyse a stock from several angles.

Alongside technicals we surface core company fundamentals such as the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), earnings per share (EPS), dividend yield, and market capitalisation. These let you weigh a company's valuation and income profile against its chart, rather than relying on price action alone.

A reading describes what the model's inputs lean toward over the next 10 trading sessions, on a five-step scale from strongly bearish through neutral to strongly bullish. Bullish means the inputs lean toward the stock beating the KSE-100 over the next 10 sessions; bearish the reverse; neutral means the evidence is mixed. It is a description of the data, not an instruction to buy or sell. Readings come from an explainable statistical model — a logistic regression, versioned logistic-v1 — or, when that model is not beating a simple baseline, from a transparent rule-based fallback. Each comes with the model's probability or confidence and a plain-language explanation of the inputs behind it, so you can judge the reasoning for yourself.

The readings come from a logistic regression model (versioned logistic-v1, shown on every stock page) trained on the end-of-day history of every listed stock. Its inputs are seventeen technical indicators and price-action measures — moving-average gaps, RSI, MACD, recent returns, volatility, volume pressure and the stock's strength relative to the KSE-100 — and it estimates the probability of the stock beating the KSE-100 over the next 10 sessions. It is a linear model, so each feature carries an explicit weight and any output can be decomposed into what each factor contributed. Training is scheduled each weekday evening, but a new model replaces the live one only if it scores better on history held back from training, and the model may publish only while it beats a simple baseline; otherwise a transparent rule engine that blends trend, momentum, value and stability scores takes over. It learned from history and assumes the future resembles the past, which is exactly the assumption that breaks in a regime change.

No forecast of the stock market is ever guaranteed, and past performance does not predict future results. Every published reading is written to an append-only ledger when it is issued and graded 10 sessions later against the close that actually printed. The model performance page shows that hit rate next to the base rate it has to beat — how often you would have been right by always naming whichever direction turned out more common — including the periods when the model does not beat it. Anyone claiming 90% accuracy on stock direction is measuring on training data. Unexpected news, earnings surprises and macro events override any technical setup. Treat confidence as the model's own conviction, not a probability of profit.

No automated system should be trusted blindly, including ours. The model is a starting point for your own analysis, not a substitute for it. The most reliable way to use PSX Expert is to weigh a reading against the underlying indicators, the company's fundamentals, recent news, and your personal risk tolerance. The plain-language explanation attached to each reading exists precisely so you can challenge and verify the reasoning.

Yes. The core analytics — stock pages, indicators, fundamentals, the KSE-100 index, the screener, and model readings — are available free of charge and are supported by advertising, which is why you may see ad placements between sections of content. Optional paid plans add portfolio tools and an ad-free view; they never change what the model says.

A watchlist is your personal shortlist of stocks you want to follow. Instead of searching for the same symbols every visit, you can add them to one place and check their latest prices, indicators, and model readings together. It is a convenient way to monitor a focused set of companies you care about.

Yes. PSX Expert is built mobile-first with a responsive layout, so charts, tables, and analytics adapt to phones, tablets, and desktops alike. You can review the market on the go without installing an app.
