New High + Volume Screener
Use this guide to find stocks approaching or clearing fresh highs while trading activity expands enough to suggest real sponsorship.
Overview
How to use New High + Volume Screener
Start with the high window that matches your intent
Shorter windows surface fresher moves, while longer windows find more meaningful structural highs.
Use volume ratio to separate real interest from drift
The stronger setups usually show participation above the recent baseline, not just price ticking upward quietly.
Watch the price buffer carefully
A small buffer keeps you near the trigger zone, while a wider one can include names that are still only approaching the level.
Check follow-through after the scan
The best names usually keep holding near the high instead of failing immediately after the first push.
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 the size of the universe scanned for fresh highs. | Start with 60 to 150 names. |
| New High Window | Defines whether you want short-term, intermediate, or larger-structure highs. | Start with 63 days, then test 126 for stronger structures. |
| Volume Average | Sets the baseline used to judge whether current participation is abnormal. | Start with 20 days. |
| Min Volume Ratio | Requires current volume to exceed the moving-average baseline by a chosen amount. | Start around 1.2x to 1.8x. |
| Price Buffer % | Keeps the list near the breakout zone rather than far below it. | Start around 0.3% to 1.0%. |
