Discover NSE stocks matching real-time WMA conditions with StockeZee's free WMA Screener. The Weighted Moving Average gives greater importance to the most recent price data, making it more responsive than SMA while being smoother than EMA. Filter stocks by Price Cross Above/Below WMA, Price Just Above/Below WMA, and WMA Bullish & Bearish Crossovers across 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100, and 200 WMA periods. Ideal for traders who want a balance between trend sensitivity and noise reduction.

What is a WMA Screener?

A WMA (Weighted Moving Average) Screener filters stocks based on their price relationship with key weighted moving averages. Unlike SMA which gives equal weight to all periods, or EMA which uses an exponential decay factor, WMA assigns linearly decreasing weights — the most recent price gets the highest weight and the oldest gets the lowest. This makes WMA more responsive to recent price changes than SMA but more controlled than EMA. StockeZee's WMA Screener covers six condition types — Price Cross Above WMA, Price Cross Below WMA, Price Just Above WMA, Price Just Below WMA, WMA Bullish Crossover, and WMA Bearish Crossover — across 10 WMA periods from 5 to 200.

WMA Screener Categories

Price Cross Above WMA: Stocks where the closing price has just crossed above a specific WMA — a bullish signal indicating upward momentum with recent price emphasis.

Price Cross Below WMA: Stocks where the closing price has just crossed below a specific WMA — a bearish signal indicating downward pressure with recent price emphasis.

Price Just Above WMA: Stocks trading slightly above a specific WMA — useful for identifying stocks in an uptrend near dynamic WMA support levels.

Price Just Below WMA: Stocks trading slightly below a specific WMA — useful for identifying stocks near WMA resistance or in a short-term downtrend.

WMA Bullish Crossover: Stocks where a shorter WMA has crossed above a longer WMA (e.g., 5 WMA crossing above 20 WMA) — a weighted golden cross signal.

WMA Bearish Crossover: Stocks where a shorter WMA has crossed below a longer WMA (e.g., 5 WMA crossing below 20 WMA) — a weighted death cross signal.

How to Use the WMA Screener for Trading

Select WMA Condition: Choose from Price Cross Above/Below, Just Above/Below, or Bullish/Bearish Crossover based on your trading strategy.

Pick WMA Period: Select the WMA period (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100, or 200) — shorter periods for intraday momentum, longer for swing and positional trades.

Analyze Results: Review screened stocks with Price, Change, Prev Close, and dynamic WMA values to assess signal strength and entry opportunities.

Confirm with Charts: Use TradingView integration to verify WMA signals with volume, RSI, and other technical indicators before entering trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

SMA gives equal weight to all periods. EMA uses an exponential smoothing factor that gives more weight to recent prices. WMA assigns linearly decreasing weights — the most recent bar gets the highest weight (e.g., weight = n), the previous bar gets (n-1), and so on. WMA is more responsive than SMA and provides a cleaner signal than EMA in certain market conditions, making it useful for traders who want recent price emphasis without the lag of SMA.

For intraday trading, shorter WMA periods like 5 WMA, 9 WMA, and 20 WMA are commonly used. The 5 WMA cross above/below 20 WMA is a popular intraday momentum signal. WMA's linear weighting makes it particularly useful for fast-moving intraday setups where recent price action matters most. For swing trading, 50 WMA and 100 WMA are widely used.

Price Cross Above WMA means the stock's closing price has just crossed above the specified Weighted Moving Average from below. Since WMA gives more weight to recent prices, this crossover is considered a stronger near-term bullish signal compared to SMA crossovers. It indicates that recent buying pressure is overcoming the weighted average, suggesting potential upward momentum.

Use WMA when you want a moving average that is more responsive than SMA but provides a more linear and predictable weighting scheme than EMA. WMA works well in trending markets where you want to capture momentum early. It is particularly effective for short to medium-term trading strategies. In choppy or sideways markets, combine WMA signals with volume and other indicators to filter false signals.
