Volatility screener

Find compression, track participation and spot emerging expansion.

Latest snapshot seen todayLoading snapshot…
All research candidatesEvery statistically valid compression structure in the selected universe.

Every symbol that met the conditions at any candle so far this session — including ones that stopped qualifying or appeared before this page was opened. Inactive rows keep their last qualifying values. Views filter the loaded scan in place — no extra request runs. History is rebuilt from candle history per filter configuration; nothing is stored.

SCREENER GUIDE

How to use the volatility screener

01Choose your context

Select a timeframe and All, F&O or Cash. Start with the default parameters, then adjust one control at a time so you can see what changed.

02Read the signal

Compare BB and ATR percentiles, tight bars and participation. Lower percentiles mean lower volatility relative to that symbol’s history—not a predicted direction.

03Inspect the structure

Select a row to highlight it on the regime map. Open its chart and compare the candle time, base boundaries, trend, RVOL and liquidity before drawing a conclusion.

04Replay a session

Choose Historical date to view the latest available candles on or before that day. Auto-refresh pauses. Export the dated CSV or choose Back to live to resume current scans.

What the states mean

Compression watch
A qualifying compression structure remains inside its base. It does not establish that a breakout is imminent.
Near boundary
Within 2.5% of a base boundary, with supportive score, trend, liquidity and freshness checks.
Expansion confirmed
A close beyond the base with RVOL ≥ 1.5× and a close in the outer 30% of its range, passing liquidity and freshness checks.
Weak confirmation
Price crossed a boundary but participation or close location did not confirm the move.
Low context
The observation is stale relative to the timeframe snapshot or falls below its liquidity floor.

Best practices for reading results

  • Track signals through the day. Seen today is rebuilt from every candle of the current session, so signals first thing in the morning are never lost when volatility returns later — even if this page was opened afterwards. First-seen and last-seen are candle times; rows that no longer qualify keep their last qualifying values, not current prices. Each filter configuration is tracked separately, and historical date replay is a separate snapshot.
  • Check the candle time. Each row shows its source-candle timestamp in IST, not when the signal was first detected. The header time is when the snapshot was generated. A daily timestamp does not certify that the session is complete.
  • Compare like with like. Keep timeframe, lookback and thresholds consistent. Tight and squeeze counts are candles: five 5-minute candles are different from five daily candles.
  • Separate rarity from direction. A low percentile describes compression. The research score ranks context; 85/100 is not an 85% success probability. A row may qualify from the previous candle even if its current percentiles have risen.
  • Review participation and data quality. Compare RVOL with the chart and the liquidity/stale labels. Freshness is relative to the available market snapshot, not a guarantee that the entire feed is current.
  • Allow live observations to change. A developing candle can change its range, volume and state. Recheck after it completes; “confirmed” describes the screening conditions, not a guaranteed outcome.
  • Use replay as research. Weekends or missing data can show an earlier candle. This date picker does not simulate entries, exits, costs or slippage, and a few examples do not validate performance.
How the research score is calculated

55% setup quality, 18% trend context, 12% nearest-boundary proximity, 10% liquidity and 5% relative participation. Setup quality combines BB/ATR compression, tight-bar persistence, range contraction and volume dry-up. These are ranking weights, not a calibrated probability model.

Volatility screener for NSE stocks

The Volatility Screener compares stocks by measures of realised movement, including average true range and changes in trading range. It helps separate stocks with expanding ranges from those trading more quietly.

Choose a consistent lookback, compare volatility alongside price and volume, then inspect the shortlisted charts. Higher volatility describes larger moves, not their direction; low volatility does not establish that a breakout is imminent.
