Overview

Best when leadership is narrow and you need to separate real strength from average charts.
Useful for swing traders and position traders who want to own the strongest names in the strongest groups.
A strong RS reading is often most powerful when price structure is also constructive.

How to use Relative Strength Screener

1

Start by finding the leaders

Use the screener to isolate the names that are already outperforming rather than hoping weak stocks suddenly become leaders.

2

Check whether the strength is fresh or established

Fresh RS improvement can give earlier setups, while established RS leadership can suit continuation trades.

3

Use chart review to time the entry

Relative strength is selection logic; chart structure is still your timing logic.

4

Cross-check sector breadth

When several stocks from the same sector score well, the group may be where the market is concentrating capital.

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.
Benchmark Sets the comparison index used for strength-based ranking. Use the market default first, then test one stronger benchmark.
RS Period Controls how many sessions are used to compare stock performance versus the benchmark. Start around 55 to 90 days.
Number of Stocks Controls how many names are scanned from the selected market. Start with 50 to 150 names.

What to prioritize in the output

Rising RS is usually more actionable than static but stale strength.
The best leaders often hold up well on weak market days.
High RS with weak price structure should still be treated carefully.

Common mistakes to avoid

Assuming RS guarantees immediate upside.
Buying leaders after they are already extremely extended.
Ignoring whether the market is rotating out of the sector.
