Questions

What is the big-money footprint?
Days when several signs of large investors appear in the same stock at once: delivered shares far above normal (a big-buyer day), a 2%+ rise on at least twice the usual volume, long build-up in its futures, and bulk or block buying by investors other than high-frequency traders.
Which stocks show institutional buying today?
On 19 Oct 2026, 13 stocks showed at least two of these signs together with a higher close. They are plotted on the map and listed in the table.
Does a footprint mean the stock will go up?
No. Over the last two years, stocks with a big-buyer day and a strong up move were higher 20 sessions later 48% of the time, against 47% for any day. That is a description of the past, not a forecast.
