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

Overview

Best when you want to spot pause or hesitation candles after a trend has stretched into a key level.
Useful as an early warning list rather than a stand-alone reversal system.
The best Doji signals usually appear at support, resistance, or after a persistent directional run.

How to use Doji Screener

1

Read the trend first

A Doji after a strong move into a known level deserves more attention than a Doji inside random sideways noise.

2

Use the body-to-range filter to control noise

Tighter body thresholds usually surface cleaner indecision candles and reduce clutter.

3

Look at the wick structure next

Longer upper or lower rejection can hint at where the failed push came from, but only the next candles confirm the message.

4

Promote only the cleanest locations

Doji candles near support, resistance, or fresh highs are usually more actionable than identical candles in the middle of a range.

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 for fresh indecision candles. Start with 60 to 150 names.
Lookback Window Sets how much price history is loaded before pattern detection. Start around 60 to 120 sessions.
Recent Signal Days Keeps the list focused on candles that formed recently enough to still matter. Start around 1 to 5 days.
Max Body / Range Ratio Defines how small the real body must be relative to the full candle range to count as a Doji. Start around 0.05 to 0.12.
Trend Window Measures the recent trend context before the signal candle appears. Start around 5 to 10 sessions.

What to prioritize in the output

A Doji means balance and hesitation, not automatic reversal.
The next one to three candles often matter more than the Doji alone.
Indecision at a major level usually deserves more attention than indecision in the middle of the chart.

Common mistakes to avoid

Treating every Doji as a turning point.
Ignoring whether the pattern appeared after a real trend or just noise.
Skipping the follow-through check on the next candles.
