Overview

Works best on stocks with a prior trend and then a tight consolidation box.
Useful for traders who prefer structured continuation setups rather than breakout chaos.
The tighter the box after a prior advance, the more interesting the candidate becomes.

How to use Momentum Box Screener

1

Look for orderly contraction first

The best momentum boxes form after a prior impulse and then tighten, showing price control rather than random volatility.

2

Prefer boxes near highs

A box near recent highs often signals continuation potential, while a box deep in a weak chart is usually less reliable.

3

Use the screener to build a watchlist, not force entries

Let price prove the next direction instead of guessing before the box actually resolves.

4

Compare sector peers

When several stocks in one group build similar boxes, the strongest one often leads the next move.

These are the main inputs you can tune on the page and the range to begin with when you want a clean first pass.

Open Page
Parameter What it does Good range to start
Market Choose the exchange universe you want to scan first. Run India and US separately.
Number of Stocks Controls how many names are scanned from the selected market. Start with 50 to 150 names.
Timeframe Switches the structure test between faster daily moves and slower weekly or monthly trend boxes. Start with Daily, then test Weekly for stronger leaders.
Period Sets the history window used to evaluate the momentum box. Start around 3 to 6 months.
Moving Average Window Defines the trend anchor that the momentum box is evaluated against. Start around 20 to 50.
Percentage Threshold % Controls how tight the box needs to be before it counts as a compression setup. Start around 1.0% to 2.0%.
Breakout Multiplier Raises or lowers how decisive the move needs to be once price leaves the box. Start around 1.2 to 1.6.
Lookback Boxes Controls how many prior box formations are considered before ranking a setup. Start around 3 to 6.

What to prioritize in the output

A narrow box with stable pullbacks is more attractive than a wide, messy one.
The most useful setups usually appear after a clear prior move.
Once the box breaks, the quality of follow-through matters more than the break itself.

Common mistakes to avoid

Confusing random sideways drift with a clean momentum box.
Entering before the structure actually resolves.
Using the tool on stocks with no prior trend context.
