About Bazaar Watch

A free, independent Indian financial market dashboard โ€” built for retail investors who want clean, fast, no-paywall access to market data.

Who We Are Identity

Bazaar Watch is an independent project run by a retail investor based in India. It is not affiliated with NSE, BSE, SEBI, or any brokerage firm.

We built this because good market dashboards were either paywalled, cluttered with ads, or required a login. Bazaar Watch is none of those things โ€” it is free, open, and focused on speed and clarity.

The site is maintained as a personal project. All analysis published here is the author's independent view and does not constitute financial advice.

Market Analysis Articles Original content โ€” Bazaar Watch Research As published

Note: NSE and BSE direct APIs block cloud server IPs. Yahoo Finance is used as the primary reliable data feed for all Indian index prices. Data may be delayed by 1โ€“15 minutes depending on source. Do not use this data for high-frequency or intraday trading decisions.

Known Limitations Honesty

We believe in being upfront about what this site is and isn't:

Data delays: Most prices are delayed 1โ€“15 minutes. We are not a live exchange feed. For real-time execution data, use your broker's platform.

No option chain data: NSE blocks server-side access to live option chain APIs. We display PCR and Max Pain estimates from available data.

No personalisation: We do not store your portfolio, watchlist, or any personal data. There are no accounts.

Uptime: The backend runs on Render's free/budget tier. Occasional cold starts (10โ€“30 second delays) may occur.

Editorial Policy Independence
