Scanner vs Screener
The platform's main discovery surface is the Screener: a dual-panel builder combining static filters with dynamic signals. The Scanner is the same engine in a different posture: signals-only, live mode, signal-first sorting.
/scanner permanently redirects to /screener with the signal panel maximised and the timing toggle pre-set to Live. Everything you can do on the Scanner you can do on the Screener; the Scanner just removes ceremony for the active-trader workflow.
When to use it
- You want to know what's firing right now across the market, not what passes a set of filters
- You're at your desk during market hours and you want a sorted feed of triggered signals
- You want to add a stock to your watchlist the moment a 52-week breakout fires
How it works
Prices and volume update every second for every stock in your selected universe. Every 15 seconds, the Scanner re-evaluates which signals are firing and updates the result table.
A stock appears in the Scanner the moment any of its signals trigger above your minimum strength threshold. It disappears (or moves down the list) when the signal subsides or a stronger signal fires elsewhere.
Configuration
Three settings control what you see:
- Universe: restrict to Nifty 500, F&O, all NSE, etc.
- Signal types: pick which of the signal types to surface. Most active traders pick 3–5 they trust.
- Minimum strength: 1–5 scale. Higher = stricter triggers, fewer matches.
A default-direction filter (Bullish-only, Bearish-only, Neutral) further trims the feed. Active long-side traders typically run Bullish + strength ≥ 3.
Acting on Scanner results
When a stock pops into the feed:
- Click the symbol to open its stock page
- Read the conviction strip and Overview tab (30 seconds)
- If interesting, set an alert at your intended entry or stop level
- If you act, the trade flows into the Trade Journal via broker sync
The Scanner produces the idea. The stock page and your own discipline produce the decision.
