How to use the Technical Screener

The Technical Screener filters your watchlist stocks by specific technical indicators. Click filter chips to find stocks matching criteria like RSI oversold, MACD crossovers, or Bollinger Band squeezes. Multiple filters use AND logic — stocks must match all selected filters to appear.

How it works

The screener applies real-time filters to your watchlist stocks based on their calculated technical indicators. All indicator data comes from the same unified analysis used in other tabs, ensuring consistency.

  • Multiple filters = AND logic: Selecting “RSI Oversold” AND “Above SMA-20” shows only stocks that meet both criteria.
  • Results update instantly: No need to re-run analysis when changing filters.
  • Matched filters column: Shows which criteria each stock satisfies.

Available filters

FilterWhat it finds
RSI Oversold (<30)Stocks with 14-period RSI below 30, potentially oversold and ready for bounce.
RSI Overbought (>70)Stocks with 14-period RSI above 70, potentially overbought and due for pullback.
MACD Bullish CrossMACD line above signal line with positive histogram, bullish momentum.
MACD Bearish CrossMACD line below signal line with negative histogram, bearish momentum.
Bollinger Band SqueezeUpper and lower bands less than 5% apart, low volatility often precedes breakout.
Price Above SMA-20Current price above 20-day simple moving average, uptrend confirmation.
Price Below SMA-20Current price below 20-day simple moving average, downtrend or pullback.
High Volume (3+ HIGH)At least 3 of last 5 days had volume >1.5x average, strong participation.
Near Support (<2%)Price within 2% above a detected swing low support level, potential bounce zone.
Near Resistance (<2%)Price within 2% below a detected swing high resistance level, potential reversal zone.

Example strategies

Combine filters to find specific setups:

Oversold bounce candidates

RSI Oversold + Near Support + Price Above SMA-20

Finds stocks that are technically oversold near support levels but still in overall uptrends — classic bounce setup.

Breakout candidates

Bollinger Band Squeeze + High Volume + MACD Bullish Cross

Finds stocks breaking out of consolidation with volume and momentum confirmation.

Potential short or exit candidates

RSI Overbought + Near Resistance + MACD Bearish Cross

Finds stocks showing weakness at key resistance with deteriorating momentum.

Important caveats

  • Not financial advice. Filters are informational tools, not trade recommendations.
  • Technical only. Does not account for fundamentals, news, earnings, or macro events.
  • False signals. Technical indicators can give false signals. Always confirm with additional analysis.
  • Indicator lag. Most indicators are lagging — they confirm what already happened, not predict the future.
  • Support/resistance detection. Levels are algorithmically detected from swing highs/lows and may not match manual chart analysis.
