## What is MarketScope?

MarketScope is a market information board provided by Oxtane. It compares stocks, foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, commodities and ETFs, with market heatmaps and an economic calendar.

## What can I use it for?

Use the overview to compare market moves, then open a category such as semiconductors, memory, stocks, FX or crypto. Each category has a stable page URL that can be shared and referenced.

## Where does the data come from?

MarketScope displays the data source and update time for instruments and views. Check the relevant instrument details and page methodology for the provider, coverage and calculation used. Providers and availability can differ between markets.

## Are all prices real time?

No. Freshness depends on the provider, instrument, market session and cache. Check the displayed update time and data status. Delayed, stale or unavailable data should not be treated as a current quote.

## How is the market heatmap calculated?

Tile area is based on the absolute percentage change from the previous close, with a small minimum size for flat or unavailable values. Area does not represent market capitalization or trading volume. Green indicates a gain and red a loss. Quote times can differ between instruments.

## How is the crypto heatmap calculated?

Each heatmap explains its methodology on the page. The crypto heatmap uses equal-area tiles for verified Binance Spot assets, ordered by market capitalization and colored by 24-hour return. Coverage and quote availability can change.

## Can I place trades through MarketScope?

MarketScope is an information-checking product. Market views are not an order-execution interface. Links to external services are separate from the information board.

## Which languages are available?

MarketScope offers English, Simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese pages. Use the language switch or /en/markets, /zh-CN/markets, /ko/markets and /ja/markets.
