- How do I write a custom stock screener query?
- Compare a field with a number or with another field, and join conditions with AND or OR. For example: Price > SMA 200 AND RSI < 40 AND Relative volume > 1.5. Parentheses group conditions, NOT negates one, and you can do arithmetic between fields — Price / SMA 50 > 1.05 finds stocks at least 5% above their 50-day average.
- Which fields can I screen NSE stocks by?
- Forty fields across price, trend, momentum, volatility, volume, fundamentals and sector: last close, day change and 1-week to 1-year returns, 52-week high and low and the distance from each, 20- and 50-day highs, SMA and EMA 20/50/200 with the distance above each and their slope, RSI, relative strength versus NIFTY 50, ATR, daily volatility, volume and 20/50-day average volume, relative volume, turnover in crore, market cap, quarterly profit growth year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, and sector.
- How do I find stocks near their 52 week high?
- Use the Down from 52 week high field, which measures how far the close sits under the high in percent — 0 is at the high. Down from 52 week high < 5 returns every NSE stock within 5% of its 52-week high. Add Relative strength 3 months > 10 to keep only the ones also beating the index.
- How do I screen for a breakout on volume?
- 20 day high is the highest high of the twenty sessions before today, so Price > 20 day high is a fresh breakout on today's close. Add Relative volume > 1.5 to require at least one-and-a-half times the normal volume behind it, and Above SMA 50 > 0 to stay in stocks already in an uptrend.
- Is the custom stock screener free?
- Yes. Sign in with Google and every query runs in full — every match, every column, no cap. Without signing in you can read this page's example screens and their current results, which refresh after every market session.
- Can I save a screen and come back to it?
- Yes. Once signed in, Save keeps the screen under a name you choose, and it appears above the editor as a chip the next time you open the builder — one tap to run it again. Saving under the same name replaces the earlier version, which is how you edit a saved screen. Every run also puts the screen in the page URL, so a link to a screen can be shared with anyone.
- Which stocks does the screener cover, and how fresh is the data?
- Every company listed on the NSE in the EQ series — around 2,300 stocks, not just an index — on end-of-day data. Every metric is recomputed after each session's close, and the date beside the stock count on the page is the bar the numbers are from. It is not intraday: a query answers what was true at the last close. Because the universe reaches well past the large caps, add a liquidity floor such as Turnover > 5 to any screen you intend to trade.
- Is a screener match a buy recommendation?
- No. A match means a stock satisfied the conditions you wrote at the last close — nothing more.
