Use the live page first, then tighten your review using this playbook.

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 early evidence that leadership is broadening.
Useful for spotting breakouts and breakout watchlist names before they fully accelerate.
Most powerful when the stock is also sitting in a strong sector or industry group.

How to use New High + Volume Screener

1

Start with the high window that matches your intent

Shorter windows surface fresher moves, while longer windows find more meaningful structural highs.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

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 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%.

What to prioritize in the output

Fresh highs matter more when participation also expands.
A strong score is most useful when the stock is not already too stretched.
Repeated high-volume pushes are usually more meaningful than one isolated burst.

Common mistakes to avoid

Treating every new high as equally important.
Ignoring whether the move happened on weak participation.
Buying names that are already too extended beyond the breakout zone.
