Use this playbook to detect unusual participation so you can focus on stocks that institutions may be actively moving.
Start by asking where the surge happened: at breakout, at support, after earnings, or in the middle of nowhere.
The best candidates combine abnormal volume with a chart location that makes sense for a meaningful move.
Follow-through matters. Strong names usually hold a good part of the surge instead of giving it all back immediately.
This screener is strongest when used repeatedly so you can see which names keep attracting attention.
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 50 to 150 names. |
| Volume Moving Average | Sets the baseline used to judge whether the latest volume is truly abnormal. | Start with 20, then compare with 5 for faster scans. |
Use the page to narrow the market quickly, then promote only the strongest chart-plus-context setups into your active watchlist or research queue.
