Doji Screener
Use this guide to find fresh Doji candles so you can investigate where market indecision is showing up at meaningful chart locations.
Overview
How to use Doji Screener
Read the trend first
A Doji after a strong move into a known level deserves more attention than a Doji inside random sideways noise.
Use the body-to-range filter to control noise
Tighter body thresholds usually surface cleaner indecision candles and reduce clutter.
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.
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.
| 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. |
