What the market is doing
Read from daily closes alone. No broker token, no NSE file — so this answers on the days when nothing else in hello can.

Net travel
Where price is now versus where it was at the start of the window. The number you actually lived through.
Kept
Of all the ground price covered day by day, how much it held on to. 100% means every day went the same way. Near zero means it walked a long way and came back.
Why “kept” is the one that matters
A quiet market that grinds one way for a month scores high here and looks like nothing on a daily chart. A violent market that swings and returns scores low while feeling like constant action. Daily range cannot tell those apart — and confusing them is exactly how an 1800-point trend got read as a market that was not moving.
