Price Action Screeners
Trade what the chart shows, not what an indicator lags. These screeners surface narrow-range compressions (NR4/NR7), previous-day and range breakouts, and opening-range breakouts across NSE stocks in real time — the same setups intraday and swing traders watch every morning.
NR4 Stocks
Today's narrowest range in the last 4 sessions — classic volatility-compression setup.
Open screenerNR7 Stocks
Today's narrowest range in the last 7 sessions — a stronger pre-breakout signal than NR4.
Open screenerPrevious Day High Breakout
Stocks trading above yesterday's high — bullish intraday continuation candidates.
Open screenerPrevious Day Low Breakout
Stocks breaking below yesterday's low — bearish intraday continuation candidates.
Open screenerPrevious Day Open Breakout
Stocks crossing the previous session's opening price — early trend-confirmation signal.
Open screenerRange High Breakout
Stocks breaking out of their recent multi-day price range to the upside.
Open screenerRange Low Breakout
Stocks breaking down from their recent multi-day price range to the downside.
Open screenerOpening Range Breakout
Stocks clearing the first 5/15/30-minute opening range — the classic ORB intraday setup.
Open screenerWhat is a price action screener?
Price action screeners filter NSE stocks by the bar structure itself — no indicators, no oscillators, just the open / high / low / close. They surface the setups disciplined traders pre-define: narrow-range compressions before a breakout, breaks of yesterday’s high or low, range expansions, and intraday opening-range breaks. The advantage is honesty — price doesn’t lag itself, so you trade what is actually happening on the chart rather than what an indicator says about what was happening 5 bars ago.
NR4, NR7 and the breakout family
NR4 and NR7 stocks have traded in their narrowest range of the last 4 (or 7) days. That compression is volatility quietly contracting before a directional move — long-only traders typically buy a break of the NR7 candle’s high; short-only traders sell a break of its low. Previous-day-high / -low / -open breakouts work the same way but on a sub-daily basis, capturing momentum continuations from yesterday’s close. Range high/low breakouts widen the lookback to a multi-day consolidation. The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is the intraday version: the first 5, 15 or 30 minutes define the range, and a break above (or below) often runs.
When price action works — and when it fails
Price action setups work best when volatility is expanding and the broader index is trending. They fail in choppy, low-volume sessions where every break gets reversed. Always layer in a volume check (Volume Shocker on this hub, or above-20-day-average volume on the child results table) before sizing in. On event days (RBI policy, monthly expiry, big earnings), pull your stop-loss tighter or skip the trade entirely — price action signals fire 3x as often on those days, and 3x as many fail.
How to use the price action screener
- 1Pick the setup that matches your trading style: NR7 for end-of-day swing setups, ORB for intraday momentum, Previous-Day-High for breakout continuation.
- 2On the results table, sort by volume relative to average — a breakout without volume expansion has a low success rate.
- 3Open the chart for the top 5–10 candidates and verify the setup visually before placing any order.
- 4Use the Sibling chips at the top of the child page to scan related conditions (e.g. NR4 alongside NR7).
- 5Combine with a Volume Shocker or VWAP-Above filter from the "Traders also use" block for higher-conviction entries.
