Price Action

What this tab finds

Price Action puts every stock in your list on one row and every price-action signal in its own column: the latest candlestick shape, where price sits against its moving averages, the nearest trendline, the nearest support or resistance, the big weekly zones, whether the candles are coiling inside each other, and whether there was a volume burst. You then switch on the filters you care about and the list narrows to the stocks where all of them are true at the same time.

That is what traders call confluence: a hammer is one thing, a hammer sitting on a support that has held five times is another. This tab is built to find the second kind quickly.

• Candlestick: 62 shapes - the 61 shapes of the TA-Lib library (hammer, engulfing, doji, morning star and the rest) plus the site's own "Inverted hammer (range-relative)".
• Volume burst: a candle on several times the usual volume with follow-through - the same scan as the Volume Burst tab.
• Moving average: the 21, 50, 100 and 200 period averages, EMA or SMA.
• Trendline: the nearest unbroken trendline the chart draws on this timeframe.
• Support / resistance: the stock's own support and resistance zones, and price levels like the 52-week low.
• Major zone: the few big weekly zones a chartist would draw by hand.
• Inside bars: 2 to 6 candles sitting inside the candle before them (a coil).

Everything filters in your browser, so a click narrows the list instantly. Only changing the timeframe goes back to the server, because it changes which facts exist.

Keep in mind. This tab is a finder, not a forecast. It shows where these things are true right now. It does not say what price will do next - see "What this tab does not tell you" below.

One timeframe drives everything

At the top is a row of timeframe buttons: 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 2 week, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month. The one you pick is the candle every filter, every column and the chart's marks read. Next to the buttons the page says so in words, for example "Every filter, column and the chart read the 1 day candle."

Why one timeframe? Because confluence only means something on the same chart. A hammer on the daily chart next to a weekly trendline and a monthly average is three facts from three different charts. With one timeframe, "a hammer within 1% of the 50 EMA" means the 50-candle average of that same candle size - on the weekly screen that is the 50-week EMA.

How the longer candles are made: a 3-day candle is the last three sessions folded into one, counted backwards from the newest session, so the latest 3-day candle is always the last three trading days. 2-week, 2-month and 3-month candles are built the same way from weekly and monthly candles.

Skip in-progress candle (a tick box at the top right, on by default). A week or a month that has not finished is only part-formed, and a shape on it can vanish before the candle closes. With the box ticked the screen reads the last finished candle; untick it to include the one still forming. The link then carries skip=0.

Tip. Use the daily screen for swing setups and the weekly screen for positional ones. To see a higher timeframe's trendline while you look at daily candles, use the chart's Layers panel (see "The chart" below) - you do not need to change the screen's timeframe.

Reading the list: the columns

Each row is one stock. The Stock column stays pinned on the left and the column names stay pinned on top while you scroll. The ◀ and ▶ buttons above the table move the columns one step sideways, and there is a scrollbar both above and below the table. The list shows 100 rows at a time; a button at the bottom says "Show 100 more" with how many are shown.

A dash (—) means the signal is absent for that stock on this timeframe: no shape, no line, no coil, no burst.

Distances use one sign rule across the site: + means price is above the thing, − means below. "right at it" or "right on it" means closer than 0.05%.

The Lines up yardstick does not move with your filters, so the order means the same thing whatever you narrow. A dot fills when: a shape fired in the last 5 candles; there is an ignition in the last 20 candles; price is within 1% of an EMA or the candle touches it; price is within 1% of the trendline; price is within 1% of support or resistance, or inside a zone; price is inside or within 2% of a major zone; any coil holds. The list is sorted by the most filled dots first, then the newest shape, then A to Z.

Tip. Hover over a cell and it gets an outline; click anywhere on a row to open that stock's chart.

The filter rows

Above the list are seven filter rows in two groups. Events ("happened somewhere in a look-back window"): Candlestick and Volume burst. Context ("true at the latest candle"): Moving average, Trendline, Support / resistance, Major zone and Inside bars. Tick a row's box to switch it on; its controls light up. A row that is switched off keeps its settings, so ticking it again brings them back.

All the bands are plain percentages of price (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%), not ATR. 1% means 1% whether the stock moves 0.5% a day or 5% a day.

The shape list starts with "any shape", then the bullish shapes, then the bearish ones, then those that can point either way. Direction matters for the two-sided shapes: Engulfing Pattern answers "engulfing", and "bullish" keeps only the bullish engulfings.

Keep in mind. Trendline "rising support" and "falling resistance" are wider than their names. "rising support" passes any support-side line - a Rising support, a flat Floor or a Falling support - and "falling resistance" passes any resistance-side line, including a flat Ceiling. Read the line's real name in the Trendline column.

Keep in mind. Support / resistance "touched at least twice" drops the price levels that nobody counted touches on - 52w low, all-time high, prev week high, last swing low, breakout from and the like. Leave it at "once" to keep them.

Under the filters a sentence reads your screen back in words, for example: "On the 1 day candle, stocks with a Hammer in the last 5, and price now within 1% of support." If it does not say what you meant, the filters are not what you meant.

Next to it is a counter that shows how many stocks survive each filter in turn, for example 200 stocks → 24 Candlestick → 5 Support / resistance. The step that emptied the list turns red; the last step turns green when something is left. "Clear all" switches every filter, column filter and sort off at once.

Tip. Your sidebar filters (sector, price and so on) and the list you chose (for example Nifty 200) narrow the stocks first, as on every tab. The first number in the counter is what is left after them.

Every screen is a link

The address bar follows every change you make, so the screen you built is a link you can bookmark or send. Settings left at their default are left out, to keep the link short.

Signed in, a "Save scan" button appears at the top right once the link carries any setting. Name it, add an optional note, press Keep.

Column menus: sort and filter like a spreadsheet

Click any column name to open its menu. It is laid out like Excel's filter menu, and every click applies at once - there is no OK button.

1. Click the column name, for example Candlestick.
2. Sort: pick an order (Candlestick has Newest first, Oldest first, Shape A → Z, Most shapes first). Pick it again, or "Back to the default order", to undo.
3. Filter by condition: the same controls as that column's filter row above the list. Changing one changes the other - they are one setting shown in two places.
4. Filter by values: a search box, (Select all), and every value the column holds with its count. Untick the values you do not want.
5. "Clear filter from Candlestick" switches off both that column's condition and its ticked values. Done closes the menu (Escape or a click outside also closes it).

Each list's counts are taken with every other column's ticks applied but not its own, as in Excel. An empty cell shows up as (Blanks). A column that is filtered or sorted is highlighted in the header and shows a small funnel or an arrow.

Keep in mind. Filter by values on Candlestick ticks the shape the cell shows - the newest one. The Candlestick filter row looks at every shape in the look-back. They answer different questions: "the newest shape is a Doji" versus "a Doji fired in the last 5 candles".

The chart that opens from a row

Click a row and the stock's chart opens over the list - a card on a computer, a sheet from the bottom on a phone. It is the site's one chart (the same as on Trendline Support), opened about this row. Everything about the chart itself - speeds, Layers, drawing, zoom - is in the chart guide at /guide/chart.

At the top: the stock, its price and the speed. Then the buttons: ← and → (previous and next stock in your filtered list), the watchlist star, TradingView, and Close. Then the twelve speeds, from 15 min to 3 month. Above the chart one sentence says what lines up for this stock, in the order of the columns, for example: "A Hammer on the latest candle, price touching the 100 EMA, and inside a daily zone touched 5 times."

• Candle shapes: numbered circles on the candles they fired on (green bullish, red bearish), at most four candles from the last 10, with the names listed under the chart ("1 Hammer · latest candle").
• Volume burst: a numbered mark on the burst candle.
• Coil box: the mother candle's range as a shaded box across the coiled candles.
• Averages: the average the row named (for example the 21 EMA), or the period your filter picked.
• Levels: the support, resistance or zone the row printed, named on the price axis.
• Trendline: the row's own line is picked out.

These marks belong to the screen's timeframe, so they are drawn only on that speed. On the 1 day screen the Daily speed is the marked one; click another speed and you get the plain chart with its trendlines and a line saying "The screen reads the 1 day candle, so its signals are marked on that chart; this speed shows the chart and its trendlines." A speed whose candles are coiling right now carries a small badge on the strip.

Layers (the button beside the speeds) has a section "What the row found" with ticks for Candle shapes, Volume burst and Coil box. Untick one to clear the chart; "Save as my default for every chart" keeps your choice.

Tip. Filter first, then open the top row and walk the list with the → key. The list behind the chart scrolls to keep the open stock in view.

Scenarios, step by step

Every example below is from the close of 1 Oct 2026 (2 Oct was a holiday), on the Nifty 200 list. The links open the same screen; the numbers will have moved by the time you click.

Tip. Build the screen loosely first (wide bands, any shape), check the counter, then tighten one filter at a time. The counter tells you which filter is doing the cutting.

When something looks wrong

Keep in mind. The Price column is the live quote, but every other column reads the last closed candle (unless you untick Skip in-progress candle). During market hours a stock can move away from a level after the candle the screen read.

What this tab does not tell you

Price Action is a finder, not a forecast. The page says it in plain words under the counter: "Measured on 718,438 daily bars, no candlestick shape beat a random bar by more than its own error band." In other words, on this market's own history, picking a bar because it was a hammer, an engulfing or a morning star did no better than picking a bar at random.

• It does not say what happens next. WIPRO's weekly Hammer closed at 164.02; by 1 Oct price was 159.35, below the hammer's body. The screen showed the hammer either way.
• It gives no entry, stop-loss or target, and no win rate for any setup.
• Bands are percentages of price, not ATR or volatility. 1% is tight for a stock that swings 4% a day and wide for one that moves 0.5%.
• Only the nearest unbroken trendline on the chosen timeframe is in the Trendline column; other lines, and other timeframes' lines, are only on the chart.
• Only the nearest support, resistance or zone and the nearest major zone are in their columns.
• No round-number filter, no sector or index trend, no fundamentals, no news.
• "Bullish" and "bearish" are the shape library's labels, not a measured edge. Some shapes are always labelled one way: TA-Lib marks every Doji, Gravestone Doji and Long Legged Doji as bullish, so they sit in the bullish part of the list and pass a "bullish" filter.
• A shape on an unfinished week or month can disappear before the candle closes - keep Skip in-progress candle ticked if that matters to you.

Keep in mind. Use the screen to find charts worth looking at, then make your own decision on the chart. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.
