Step-by-step

  1. Why this scanner exists

    Many strong movers never form a clean VCP or HTF before they run. This lane catches liquid names with early strength for watchlist research.

  2. Liquidity gate

    Average daily traded value ≥ ₹5 Cr so rows are liquid enough for most NSE swing research.

  3. 10-day gain band

    Roughly 8–18% over 10 sessions — avoids dead names and already-extended blow-offs.

  4. Volume rule

    Latest session volume ≥ 1.3× its 10-day average — participation must be picking up.

  5. RS rank

    RS rank ≥ 80 vs the scan universe — among the stronger relative performers that day.

  6. 52-week high proximity

    Price within 10% of the 52-week high — leaders near highs.

  7. How to use the list

    One filter output among several. Compare with Momentum Buildup and Base Formation. Open stock pages for Fail risk and full scores.

Detailed reference

RS rank

Percentile 0–100 vs other symbols in the nightly scan. 80+ means top-tier relative strength in that cross-section.

No base requirement

Unlike Base Formation, no VCP-style contraction required — a pure momentum lane.
