This document explains each column in the data sheet in simple language, from a
distribution and profit-booking perspective. It is meant for users who

Important Structure Note

Top 10 Delivery Volume For the One Year Period belong to historical data. These represent the top delivery volume / delivery percentage days over the last one year.

Historical Data Columns (Top Delivery Days – Last 1 Year)

DATE: Historical trading date with high delivery activity. In a distribution view, these often mark profit booking or supply entering the market.

SYMBOL: The stock symbol. All rows belong to the same stock.

OPEN: Opening price. Weak opens after a rally may indicate distribution.

HIGH: Highest price of the day. Repeated rejection near highs signals distribution.

LOW: Lowest price of the day. Lower lows indicate weakening demand.

CLOSE: Closing price. Closes near the low suggest selling pressure.

VOLUME: Total traded volume. High volume without price progress indicates distribution.

DELIVERY_VOLUME: Shares taken for delivery. High delivery with weak price suggests exits.

DELIVERY_PCT: Delivery percentage. Falling delivery % after a rally signals weakening commitment.

RANK: Rank among top delivery days. Higher-ranked days near highs indicate profit-booking zones.
