What each column means
A quick reference for reading the table above.
Stock
The NSE trading symbol of the constituent — every name here belongs to the NIFTY 50 universe. It's the exact ticker you'd type into your broker or charting platform to pull up the same stock.
Last price
The most recent traded price, in rupees. During market hours it reflects the latest scan; outside market hours it shows the day's closing price. Read it against the moving-average columns to see where price sits relative to its averages.
CHG
The stock's percentage change for the current session versus the previous close — blue for up, orange for down. It tells you whether the stock is moving up or down right now, independent of the longer-term condition that put it on this list.
20 EMA
The value of the 20 EMA this screener is built around, recomputed from daily closes. Whether the last price is above, near, or breaking through this line is the exact condition that qualifies a stock for this list.
GAP %
How far the last price sits above (+) or below (−) the moving average, as a percentage. A large positive gap means the stock is well extended above its average (strong, but possibly stretched); a small gap means price is hugging the line — a potential support or resistance test.
TREND
A multi-timeframe read of whether price is above its 20, 50, and 200-period EMA. Each badge lights up when price is above that EMA and stays grey when below. All three lit means the stock is trending up across short, medium and long horizons (the strongest confluence); only 200 lit means just the long-term trend is intact.
VOL×
Relative volume — the last completed session's volume divided by its 20-day average. 1.0× is an ordinary day; 2.0× means twice the usual activity (real conviction behind the move), while 0.5× is thin, low-conviction trade. Values of 1.5× or more are highlighted in amber as unusually heavy volume.
About this screener
The 20-period EMA tracks short-term momentum. Stocks trading above their 20 EMA are in a near-term uptrend; the 20 EMA is widely used by swing and momentum traders as a fast trend line and a tight trailing stop reference.
Above 20 EMA FAQ
What is the 20 EMA used for?
It is a short-term momentum line — the 20-period exponential moving average of daily closes. Price holding above it signals near-term strength, and it is commonly used to trail entries in fast-moving trends.
Does above the 20 EMA mean the long-term trend is up?
Not necessarily. The 20 EMA only reflects the last few weeks. A stock can be above its 20 EMA in a short bounce while still below its 50 or 200 EMA — check the TREND column for the full picture.
Why do momentum traders watch the 20 EMA?
Because it reacts quickly to price, it gives early signals and tight stops — useful for capturing short bursts of momentum, at the cost of more frequent whipsaws than slower averages.
Educational use only — not a buy/sell recommendation. A stock appearing here means only that it currently meets the stated moving-average condition on daily data. Moving-average signals fail frequently in ranging markets.
