Using the Screener: filters and signals together

How the panels work

The Screener is split into two panels. They combine, they don't replace each other.

Left panel — filters (AND logic). Static conditions a stock must satisfy. Market cap above ₹5,000 crore and PE under 25 and ROCE above 15%. Every additional filter narrows the set.

Right panel — signals (OR logic). Dynamic events the stock must currently be exhibiting. Volume spike OR golden cross OR 52-week high breakout. Adding signals widens the set.

The two panels intersect. A stock that passes all your filters AND fires at least one of your signals appears in the results.

Snapshot mode vs Live mode

A toggle near the top of the screener controls the time axis.

• Snapshot mode — fetches latest EOD data once. Best for end-of-day research sessions, weekend planning, or backtesting a query against yesterday's close.
• Live mode — polls every 15 seconds during market hours. New matches appear in real time as signals trigger. Best for active monitoring while the market is open.

Live mode shows a freshness indicator. If you see a "stale" badge, the underlying data tap dried up — that's our problem, not yours, but the displayed prices won't be live.

Universes

Above the filter panel, the universe selector restricts the search space before any filters run. Options: Nifty 50, Nifty 100, Nifty 200, Nifty 500, Midcap 150, Smallcap 250, F&O (209 stocks), NSE mainboard, BSE mainboard, NSE SME, BSE SME, all SMEs combined.

Pick the universe that matches what you're looking for. Screening the F&O universe surfaces names with derivatives liquidity. Screening NSE SME surfaces small-and-emerging companies most platforms ignore.

Three example queries

1. Quality at a reasonable price

Universe: Nifty 500
Filters:
  Market Cap > 5000 Cr
  ROCE > 15%
  Debt/Equity < 1
  PE < 30
Signals: (none)

Returns established companies generating real returns on capital without leverage, trading at non-extreme multiples. A weekly run is enough.

2. Today's institutional interest

Universe: Nifty 500
Filters:
  Market Cap > 2000 Cr
  Delivery % > 60
Signals:
  Volume spike
  Price surge

Returns large-caps with above-threshold delivery showing either a 2× volume ratio or a +5% price move — the textbook footprint of institutional accumulation.

3. Breakouts from a quality base

Universe: Nifty 500
Filters:
  ROE > 12%
  Debt/Equity < 1.5
Signals:
  52-week high breakout
  Golden cross

Returns fundamentally sound companies that just made a technical breakout. The kind of setup you'd otherwise build manually in TradingView.

Saving and sharing

Once you've built something useful, hit Save in the header. Name it (Quality at reasonable price), and it lives in your screeners library forever. Re-run it any time.

You can also publish a screener to the community so other users can fork it. Public screeners are read-only for others; they fork them into their own library to edit.
