About This Scan
BTST means buy today and sell tomorrow: traders look for stocks finishing strong, hoping for follow-through the next morning. This scan lists NSE stocks that are up 2% or more against the previous official close and trading within 0.5% of the day's high, on at least Rs 10 Cr of last-session turnover. It reads the live daily candle, so it is most useful in the last 30 to 45 minutes of the session, when a close near the high is nearly settled. The mirror scan is STBT Stocks Today.

How To Use This Scan
- •Run it after 2:45 PM. Earlier in the day almost every strong stock is near its high, and the list changes with every candle.
- •Check the reason for the move and any news due after the close, such as results. An overnight position carries gap risk in both directions.
- •Size the position for a gap, not for the day's range. For a list of every stock at its high without the 2% rule, see Trading at Day High. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.
