StockPatri was launched on the auspicious occasion of Diwali in 2024, and it is already time to wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! It seems that time has flown in the last couple of months, and our young venture has already come a long way. So, let us quickly recap our journey so far in our inaugural periodic update of Jan 2025!
A Purposeful Launch
A record number of retail traders and investors have been added to the stock markets in the recent past. However, it is worrying that most retail participants (more than 90%) make losses in the futures & options segment.
We launched with a purpose to democratize access to institution grade data, analytics, insights and tools to the retail market.

From 0 to 100
Our refreshing approach struck the right chord, as we made our presence felt in over 100 cities within a few days of launch. All this happened organically, and gratitude to al our well wishers and those who care about the retail investors, who spread our message and helped us gain initial traction by word of mouth.
Measuring StockBal on 0 – 100
Speaking of 0 to 100, that is exactly the scale on which our proprietary StockBal Index scores all NSE traded stocks. The three variants – Varshik Bal (annual), Masik Bal (monthly) and Saptahik Bal (weekly) – cover all mainboard stocks traded on NSE, and this trio of StockBal is updated each day.
It is probably India’s first multi time-frame measure of relative strength of all stocks compared to the broader market (NSE-500) and you can view it daily on the StockBal Index dashboard for free.
Many Happy Returns
The StockBal is a tool to measure relative performance over the past year, month and week, for each of the three indices – Varshik Bal, Masik Bal and Saptahik Bal, respectively. However, the nation (or at least 160 cities, as of now) wanted to know if the Stock Bal was an indicator of future performance.
We do not make any such claims, simply because past performance is never a guarantee of future performance. However, our analysis in this small time frame revealed that stocks selected based on certain StockBal combinations yielded a much higher potential for returns as compared to the broader market.
For instance, stocks with High StockBal across all three time frames delivered 29.5% higher potential of returns as compared to other stocks. Moreover, Top10 biggest gainers of Masik Bal or Varshik Bal in November demonstrated 119% and 99% higher potential of returns as compared to the broader market!

Explain Like I’m Five
We received a lot of candid feedback from folks that they do not understand the stock market at all, and wish that someone could explain the concepts in a simple enough manner. So, we took our readers on a visit to a virtual candy store to simulate the working of the stock market.

Annual Report – Top 25 Gainers and Losers
We rounded off the year and welcomed 2025 with an Annual Report featuring the Top 25 Gainers and Losers of Varshik Bal during the year. These Top 25 gainers have improved their Varshik Bal (annual StockBal) by the highest margin, as most of them underperformed in 2023 and over-performed in 2024. On the contrary, the Top 25 Losers typically over-performed the market in 2023 and under-performed in 2024.
What do you think 2025 holds in future for these Top 25 Gainers and Losers?
Roadmap and Suggestions
As we mentioned earlier, we are in the business of providing data and insights to our users, and we do not predict the markets or make futuristic projections.
