Pullback Screener
Use this playbook to find strong trend stocks that are resting into support rather than breaking out immediately.
Overview
How to use Pullback Screener
Prioritize strong trend context first
Review only names that were leading before the pullback started so you are buying strength on pause, not weakness in disguise.
Look for controlled retracements
Healthy pullbacks usually retrace gradually, hold key moving averages or prior breakout zones, and avoid disorderly heavy selloffs.
Wait for re-acceleration clues
Use the screener as an idea source, then look for a reclaim of trend, tighter candles, or renewed relative strength before acting.
Compare multiple candidates in the same sector
Choose the cleanest chart within a strong group rather than taking the first pullback you see.
Starter parameter guide
These are the main inputs you can tune on the page and the range to begin with when you want a clean first pass.
| 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 60 to 180 names. |
| Min Trend Score | Keeps the shortlist focused on names with stronger underlying trend structure. | Start around 65 to 80. |
| Min Pullback % | Defines the smallest pullback worth reviewing. | Start around 3% to 5%. |
| Max Pullback % | Cuts off names that have sold off too deeply to still qualify as healthy pullbacks. | Start around 8% to 12%. |
| Max Support Distance % | Measures how far price can be from the identified support zone and still be actionable. | Start around 1.5% to 3.0%. |
