Relative Strength Stock Scanner for NSE
5 prebuilt scans · 1 buy-side and sell-side pairs · runs on live NSE candles
Relative strength compares a stock's performance with the rest of the market. Leaders that are also near their 52-week high are the stocks that held up best and are pressing resistance, which is the pool many swing and positional traders start from.
These scans combine the RS rating, distance from the 52-week high and a trend or momentum check. They list leaders rather than predict which will keep leading.
Relative strength scans

RS Rating 10 or Lower Laggards (Below 50 DMA)

How traders use these scans
- Use the list as a pool, then pick by sector strength and base quality.
- Look for tight, low-volume consolidation near the high before a break.
- Compare the list size over weeks. A shrinking list is a warning about market breadth.
Scans list setups that match fixed rules. They are not recommendations and none is back-tested for an edge.
Frequently asked questions
What is an RS rating?
A rank of a stock's price performance against the rest of the NSE universe. Higher means it has outperformed more stocks.
Why near the 52-week high?
Stocks near the high have little overhead supply from trapped buyers, which is why traders look for them.
Is there a weaker-stocks version?
Yes. The bearish trend template under the swing scanners lists stocks with weak RS in a downtrend.
