Use the live page first, then tighten your review using this playbook.

These guide pages are designed to help you move from raw output to better shortlist decisions faster and with more confidence.

Overview

Works best when the stock is already in a clear uptrend and simply cooling off.
Helpful for traders who prefer better risk-reward entries near support.
Most useful after strong market moves when leaders pause instead of reversing.

How to use Pullback Screener

1

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.

2

Look for controlled retracements

Healthy pullbacks usually retrace gradually, hold key moving averages or prior breakout zones, and avoid disorderly heavy selloffs.

3

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.

4

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.

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 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%.

What to prioritize in the output

The best setups are usually the ones pulling back the least while the market digests.
Shallow pullbacks after strong advances often deserve more attention than deep pullbacks trying to recover.
If the stock loses its prior structure, it is no longer a pullback candidate; it is a repair story.

Common mistakes to avoid

Buying every decline without checking whether the primary trend is still intact.
Confusing a broken chart with a healthy pause.
Ignoring whether the market itself is risk-on or risk-off.
