Free stock market news for NSE stocks, right beside the chart
Free stock market news for NSE stocks next to your chart: News Flow follows the chart's symbol, shows India top stories and opens a related stock in one click.
SuperCharting's News Flow panel shows stock market headlines beside your chart: the stories about the symbol you are looking at, or a region's top stories, including an India list. It follows the chart as you switch symbols, refreshes every two minutes while it is open, and is included on Essential, the free plan. For official company filings of NSE stocks, the company page adds announcements with their PDF documents.
What News Flow shows
The panel opens on the right of the chart. At the top is a row of chips:
- The chart symbol chip, in bold, named after the active chart's ticker (for example RELIANCE). It lists stories tagged with that symbol.
- Top stories, India, Americas, Europe, Asia and Middle East & Africa: a region's main headlines, whatever the chart shows.
Below the chips, headlines are grouped under Today, Yesterday and older dates, newest first. Each row has:
- the publisher's logo and name, and when the story came out (5 min ago, 3 hours ago, or a date and time for older ones);
- a red Flash tag on stories marked urgent;
- the headline, on up to two lines;
- up to four small symbol pills for the stocks the story mentions.
Up to 60 headlines are listed at a time. The footer says how many stories have a link: those carry a ↗ mark and open the publisher's page in a new tab; the rest are marked headline only.
How it follows your chart
With the symbol chip selected, the panel checks the active chart's symbol every second or two while it is open. Change the chart from NSE:RELIANCE to NSE:TCS and the list reloads with TCS stories, without touching the panel. In a layout with several charts, it follows whichever chart you clicked last.
Two details help in practice:
- Symbol pills load the chart. Click a pill under a headline, such as HDFCBANK, and the active chart switches to that stock. The list then follows it.
- Option contracts show their underlying's news. On a NIFTY or stock option chart, News Flow lists the stories of the underlying index or stock.
When a symbol has no recent stories, the panel says No news yet and suggests another market; index and small-company charts often have fewer stories than large stocks.

On a phone, News Flow is in the More menu under Markets.
Official announcements for NSE stocks
Headlines are what the press writes. For what the company itself told the exchange, open its company page: in the Screeners panel, click the stock's row. For NSE stocks, the lower part of the page lists the company's exchange filings:
- Announcements from the last four months, each with its date, subject, a short summary and a PDF link;
- Concalls and investor presentations, picked out from those announcements;
- Board meetings, with their purpose, and Corporate actions such as dividends, splits and bonuses;
- Shareholding pattern by quarter and Annual reports.
The Indian stocks fundamentals guide covers the rest of the company page: ratios, quarterly results and peers.
Practical example: a results morning on an NSE stock
Say a large bank reports its quarterly results after the close. Next morning, set a two-chart layout: NSE:HDFCBANK on 5 minutes and NSE:BANKNIFTY on 15 minutes (Essential allows 4 charts per layout). Click the HDFCBANK chart and open News Flow: the overnight headlines about the results sit under Yesterday and Today, with the time of each.
Then check the company page's Announcements for the results filing itself and read the numbers in the PDF rather than a headline's summary. At 09:15, compare the opening gap on HDFCBANK with BANKNIFTY: a stock that gaps much more than its index is moving on its own news. Switch the chip to India to see whether a wider story, such as an RBI decision on the economic calendar, is moving the whole sector. The NSE charts guide covers the index and futures symbols.
This is an educational way to put news next to price, not a trading signal.
Limits worth knowing
- Headlines, not full articles. The panel shows the headline and the publisher; the story itself opens on the publisher's site, and some stories are headline only.
- Not a news terminal. Stories come from public news sources and can arrive minutes after the publisher posts them. There is no keyword search and no news alert.
- Busy moments. If many requests arrive at once, the panel says News is busy right now and offers to try again; wait a minute.
- Nothing on the chart. Headlines are not drawn on the candles.
To react to news quickly, put the stocks you follow in a watchlist and set price alerts on their key levels; see watchlists and watchlist alerts.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stock market news free?
Yes. News Flow needs only a signed-in account and works the same on Essential, the free plan, as on paid plans.
Does it cover Indian stocks?
Yes, for stocks that the news sources tag. Large NSE stocks usually have regular stories; the India chip lists the Indian market's top stories whatever your chart shows.
Why does a headline have no link?
Some stories in the source have no publisher link. The panel still shows the headline and marks it headline only; the footer counts how many stories have links.
Can I get the company's own announcements?
Yes, for NSE stocks: open the stock's company page from the Screeners panel and scroll to Announcements, where each filing has its PDF.
