About This Scan
Smallcaps can move far on a breakout, and a screen limited to the Nifty Smallcap 250 keeps the list to listed, index-tracked names. This scan lists index members whose daily high reaches a new 20-day high on a green candle with at least 1.5 times normal volume, on Rs 5 Cr of last-session turnover. The turnover rule removes thin stocks. Breakouts in smaller names fail often and fast, so risk control matters. The mirror scan is Smallcap 250 Breakdown Stocks.

- •Smallcaps gap and reverse quickly. Size the position to a stop below the breakout level.
- •Look at what the stock did before. A breakout from a tight base is cleaner than one after a long run. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.
