  1. Circuit Breaker (Blue): This signal indicates when trading on a particular stock or the entire exchange is temporarily paused at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). This usually happens due to a significant and rapid change in price, acting as a safety measure.

  2. Price Spike (Green): A green "Price Spike" signal highlights instances where a stock's price has significantly increased within a short period. This can point to strong buying interest or a sudden positive development.

  3. Price Fall (Red): Conversely, a red "Price Fall" signal indicates a significant decrease in a share price within a short timeframe. This might suggest selling pressure or a sudden negative event.

  4. Abnormal Volume (Orange): An orange "Abnormal Volume" signal appears when a stock's trading volume at PSX is significantly higher than the previous sessions levels. This can suggest increased interest or a lack of activity in that particular stock.
