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

Best as a first-stage research funnel rather than a final buy list.

Useful when you want a broad valuation screen without jumping straight into deeper financial modeling.

Works better when you compare candidates within the same sector instead of across very different industries.

Start with a sensible P/E cap so the list stays focused on names that are still reasonably priced.

These filters help avoid ultra-small names or businesses that look cheap only because the earnings base is weak.

Once the universe is trimmed, move to debt, margins, sector quality, and the chart before making any decision.

Run India and US separately, then compare mid-cap and larger-cap names instead of mixing everything together.

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 whether you want to screen India or US stocks.	Run each market separately.
Trailing P/E Min	Filters out names whose earnings multiple is below the floor you want to allow.	Start around 0 to 5.
Trailing P/E Max	Sets the highest earnings multiple you are willing to review.	Start around 15 to 25.
EBITDA Min	Avoids very small businesses with weak operating scale.	Start with a lower bound suited to your market, then increase for higher quality.
EBITDA Max	Caps the list if you want to focus on mid-sized rather than mega-cap businesses.	Leave wide unless you want a specific size bucket.
Market Cap Min / Max	Lets you isolate small, mid, or large businesses instead of mixing everything together.	Start by screening mid-to-large caps first.

Lower valuation only matters if the business quality is still acceptable.

EBITDA scale helps you avoid weak low-quality names that only look statistically cheap.

This tool is strongest as a shortlist for deeper research, not as a standalone ranking model.

Using cheap valuation alone as proof of upside.

Comparing sectors with very different earnings profiles without context.

Ignoring liquidity and trend quality after screening.

Use the page to narrow the market quickly, then promote only the strongest chart-plus-context setups into your active watchlist or research queue.
