This guide explains the main indicators, calculations and screening concepts used across TrendScreener.in. Use it to understand what the information shown by our screeners means and how different technical tools can be combined for further stock market research.
Multi-timeframe analysis helps traders study the direction of a stock across different periods instead of relying on only one chart. Trend Screener brings multiple timeframes together so users can quickly compare the broader and shorter-term trend.
When several important timeframes point in the same direction, the stock may be described as showing a Uni Directional Trend.
For example, if Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Hourly and 15-Minute conditions are all bullish, the stock is showing broad bullish trend alignment across those timeframes.
Tip: Multi-timeframe alignment can help narrow a large stock list, but it does not guarantee that the existing trend will continue.
Open Multi-Timeframe Screener →A Simple Moving Average calculates the average closing price of a stock over a selected number of periods. Moving averages are commonly used to smooth short-term price fluctuations and make the underlying trend easier to observe.
For example, SMA 50 represents the average closing price of the previous 50 periods used in the calculation.
SMA 20 reacts relatively quickly to recent price movement and is commonly observed when studying shorter-term trends.
SMA 50 is widely used to observe the intermediate trend of a stock.
SMA 100 provides a smoother view of medium-to-longer-term price behaviour.
SMA 200 is one of the most commonly followed long-term moving averages and is often used as a broad reference for long-term trend direction.
Tip: Moving averages are lagging indicators. They describe price behaviour based on historical data and should not be treated as predictions.
Explore SMA Screeners →Trend Screener includes dedicated moving-average scanners to help users find stocks interacting with important SMA levels.
The Near SMA Scanner helps identify stocks trading close to selected moving averages such as SMA 20, SMA 50, SMA 100 and SMA 200.
A crossing-above condition occurs when price moves from below a selected moving average to above it based on the scanner's defined calculation.
A crossing-below condition occurs when price moves from above a selected moving average to below it.
Tip: A crossover by itself is not a buy or sell signal. Traders often examine the broader trend, volume, momentum, support and resistance before interpreting a crossover.
Find Stocks Near SMA →Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a scale from 0 to 100.
Overbought does not automatically mean that a stock will fall, and oversold does not automatically mean that it will rise. Strong trends can keep RSI elevated or depressed for extended periods.
Tip: RSI can be more informative when considered together with trend direction and price structure rather than being used as a standalone signal.
Open RSI Screener →Average Daily Range estimates how much a stock typically moves between its daily high and low over a selected historical period.
ADR can provide context about a stock's normal daily movement. Comparing the current day's movement with its historical ADR may help users understand whether the stock has already travelled a relatively large or small distance for the session.
Tip: Reaching the historical ADR does not mean price must stop moving. Volatility can expand significantly on news, earnings or unusually active market sessions.
A 52-week high represents the highest price reached by a stock during approximately the previous year, while the 52-week low represents its lowest price over the same period.
Stocks trading near their 52-week highs may be experiencing relatively strong price performance, while stocks near their 52-week lows may be experiencing weaker price conditions.
These levels are reference points rather than automatic support, resistance, breakout or reversal signals.
Tip: Combine 52-week levels with trend, momentum and the underlying price chart before drawing conclusions.
Open 52-Week High & Low Screener →A market heatmap provides a visual way to compare price performance across multiple stocks or sectors.
Tip: Heatmaps are useful for getting a quick overview of market participation, but the colour of a stock alone does not determine its broader trend.
Open Market Heatmap →TrendScreener.in provides dedicated analysis pages for individual stocks so users can review multiple technical data points from one place.
Depending on the available market data, a stock page may include information such as:
Bringing these values together can make the stock page a useful starting point for further chart analysis and research.
Tip: Use the stock page as a research dashboard, not as a trading recommendation. Always examine the underlying chart and current market conditions.
Search a Stock →Technical indicators are usually more useful when they provide different pieces of information rather than when one indicator is treated as a complete trading system.
A simple research workflow could look like this:
Remember: Screeners are designed to reduce the number of stocks you need to examine manually. They are research tools, not prediction engines.
Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based primarily on historical price data. They cannot predict future market movements with certainty.
Market conditions can change quickly because of company news, earnings, economic events, global markets, liquidity and many other factors.
