What is an OHLC Screener?

An OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) Screener filters stocks based on specific price action conditions derived from the open, high, low, and close prices of a trading session. These conditions help traders identify bullish and bearish setups, gap plays, breakouts, and trend continuation patterns. StockeZee's OHLC Screener covers two categories — Bullish Screener and Bearish Screener — with 7 conditions each, updated in real-time for NSE stocks.

OHLC Screener Categories

  • Open Equals Low (Bullish): Stocks where the opening price equals the day's low — a strong bullish signal indicating buyers dominated from the open.
  • Gap Up (Bullish): Stocks that opened significantly higher than the previous close — indicating strong buying interest and positive momentum.
  • Breakout 20 Candles (Bullish): Stocks breaking out above the high of the last 20 candles — a classic breakout signal for trend continuation.
  • Five Green Candles (Bullish): Stocks with five consecutive green (bullish) candles — indicating sustained buying pressure and upward momentum.
  • Open Equals High (Bearish): Stocks where the opening price equals the day's high — a strong bearish signal indicating sellers dominated from the open.
  • Gap Down (Bearish): Stocks that opened significantly lower than the previous close — indicating strong selling pressure and negative momentum.
  • Breakdown 20 Candles (Bearish): Stocks breaking down below the low of the last 20 candles — a classic breakdown signal for trend continuation downward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open Equals Low (OEL) means the stock's opening price is the same as its lowest price for the day. This is a strong bullish signal because it indicates that buyers stepped in immediately at the open and pushed prices higher throughout the session. It suggests strong buying interest and is often used as a bullish entry signal, especially when accompanied by high volume.
A Gap Up occurs when a stock opens significantly higher than its previous day's closing price, creating a 'gap' on the chart. It indicates strong overnight buying interest, often triggered by positive news, earnings, or broader market sentiment. Traders use gap up stocks for momentum plays — buying on the open with a stop below the gap, or waiting for a pullback to the gap level for a safer entry.
A Breakout 20 Candles signal occurs when a stock's price breaks above the highest high of the last 20 candles (trading sessions). This is a classic technical breakout signal indicating that the stock has overcome recent resistance and may continue moving higher. It is widely used by momentum traders and swing traders to identify stocks entering new price territory with potential for significant upside.
OHLC-based signals are most reliable when confirmed with volume, overall market trend, and sector performance. Gap Up/Down signals are stronger when accompanied by above-average volume. Open Equals Low/High signals work best in trending markets. Always use stop-losses and combine OHLC signals with other technical analysis tools for better accuracy and risk management.
