Not investment advice

Bursalytic publishes rule-based analytics for education and research. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and Bursalytic is not licensed by the Securities Commission Malaysia to give investment advice. Talk to a licensed adviser before making investment decisions. Bursalytic is not affiliated with Bursa Malaysia Berhad.

Data

End-of-day and delayed prices come from a third-party public feed. They can be late, wrong or missing. When the feed is down we show the last stored prices and say so; with no stored data we show clearly labelled synthetic demo data. Dividend yields use cash dividends paid in the past 12 months, including special dividends; a single payment worth 20% or more of the share price is treated as a capital repayment and left out. Corporate actions that the feed leaves unadjusted are detected and back-adjusted, and every adjustment is listed on the stock page.

Sectors and Shariah status

Sector, market and Shariah status come from the Securities Commission Malaysia's List of Shariah-Compliant Securities (latest edition used: 2025-11-28), which follows Bursa Malaysia's sector classification. Counters listed after that review are marked "pending review". Counters never on the list since 2018 are shown as unclassified until a sector is confirmed.

Methodology

  • Market mood is the average of five readings from 0 to 100: breadth (advancers vs decliners), the share of stocks above their 50-day average, the share with RSI above 50, stocks near 52-week highs vs lows, and the KLCI's distance from its 50-day average.
  • Technical score is eight equal votes (bullish +1, bearish −1, neutral 0), averaged and scaled to −100 to +100. Each vote is listed on every stock page.
  • Sector moves are weighted by each stock's 20-day average value traded.
  • Indicators : RSI and ATR use Wilder smoothing (14). MACD is 12/26/9 EMA. Stochastic is 14/3/3. Bollinger Bands are 20 periods, 2 standard deviations.
  • Beta uses daily log returns against the FBM KLCI over the past year. Volatility is the annualised standard deviation of 60 daily log returns.
  • Portfolio profit and loss use average cost. Dividends are estimated from ex-dates and the shares held on each ex-date, before tax.
  • Screener track records count each fresh signal once (the condition true today and false the session before), skip the next 20 sessions for that stock, and only include stocks averaging RM100k a day in value traded at the time. Returns run from the next session's open to the close 5 and 20 sessions later; the benchmark is the KLCI over the same 20 sessions. The baseline samples every liquid stock every 5th session. Counters that have since delisted are missing.
  • Mood history recomputes the five mood readings for every past session from stored daily prices; the latest point is the live reading.
  • Headline tone counts positive and negative finance words (English and Malay) in each headline, with simple negation. It reads wording, not facts.
  • Expected dividends assume a company pays around the same date as last year. They are estimates, not announcements.

Privacy (PDPA 2010)

We store your email, an optional name, a salted scrypt hash of your password, your language, watchlist, portfolios, alerts, saved screens, custom indicators and strategies. If you turn them on, we also store an encrypted two-factor secret, hashed recovery codes and your Telegram chat ID. To stop repeat free trials we keep a one-way hash of each email that has used a trial, even after deletion. Invite redemptions are recorded so client access can be reviewed. Session cookies are HTTP-only and used only to keep you logged in. Emails are sent for verification, password resets and alerts you set, and for the weekly summary or product news only if you opt in. Payments are handled by Stripe (cards) or ToyyibPay (online banking); we never see your card or bank login. BA (Bursalytic Assistant), our AI feature, sends only market data and anonymous percentages to our AI provider (DeepSeek, outside Malaysia): never your name, email or amounts. We don't sell your data or run third-party advertising trackers. You can download all your data or delete your account from the account page at any time.

Terms

The service is provided as is, without warranty. Don't scrape, resell or redistribute the data. Card subscriptions to Pro and Pro Live renew automatically until cancelled; cancelling keeps access until the end of the paid period. Online-banking (FPX) payments are prepaid for the period bought, extend any time already paid for, and do not renew. Text written by BA (Bursalytic Assistant) is AI-generated from our data, can be wrong and is not advice. The 14-day trial is limited to one per email address. Client access is granted at our discretion through invite codes, for a set period, and can be reviewed or withdrawn. Market notes are general commentary, not personalised advice. Backtest results are hypothetical and don't predict future returns. News headlines link to their publishers, who own the content.
