Stock Screeners are very important for traders because it reduces the time taken to arrive at your trading decisions and helps your technical analysis of stocks in a way that can refine your search. It can narrow down your choices before you can trade. A stock screener helps in performing quantitative analysis without much effort required by the users. Since it is based on data, you can get an objective view of what’s happening at the moment. So cut out the noise around you and get down to the technical facts.
Learn how to use our pre-defined stock screener:
To begin with, you will have to choose “Live Scanner” from the tools section of the Menu.
When you click on Live Scanner, you get this window which shows you our predefined stock screeners that can help you take action and find opportunities within all the noise of daily price action. As you can see that in this screener, you can view:
• Ticker
• Time
• Traded Volume
• Screener Condition
The Ticker text which are in GREEN denote that the stock is up for the day, RED denotes that the stock is down and BLUE denotes that it is an Index.
You can filter stocks by choosing from different Indices and Industry groups. On Fyers One all the major ones are available. All you need to do is to select and click on “Apply”. These search filters are very useful. For instance, if you want to trade Food & Beverage Sector, you can quickly select it and it shows you scrips which have hit pre-defined stock screener conditions.
In the example above we have chosen banks and it clearly shows real-time information of banking stocks. As you can see, you now know that Corporation Bank has hit a new intraday low and Karur Vysya Bank has done the opposite direction and made a new intraday high. Information like this can be put to use when you are looking for new trading ideas. You can also see how all the sectors are doing technically.
