A stock screener narrows the whole market to the handful of stocks that fit your setup, using data after the close. It is how swing and positional traders plan tomorrow’s watchlist in the evening instead of reacting during the session.
BreakPoint’s screeners run on NSE end-of-day data and are built around prepared setups rather than a blank condition builder. You get positional presets such as golden cross and oversold bounce with every indicator column to check them, a Stage 2 tracker based on Weinstein stage analysis, swing scans grouped by behaviour, a smart-money swing list, and company fundamentals for the names that pass. Each result carries support and resistance so a shortlist becomes a plan with a stop-loss.
Each one is a different way to shortlist. Open the guide to see how to read the results.
Start with the market
Check the index trend and which sectors are leading. A screener result in a weak sector during a falling market deserves more doubt than the same result with the market behind it.
Pick one or two setups you understand
Run the presets that match how you trade. Ten setups half-understood produce a longer list, not a better one.
Check the columns, not just the name
Read the indicator columns and the chart for each result. The screener does the filtering; you decide whether the setup is clean.
Check the business for longer holds
For positional trades, open the company page and look at earnings, cash flow and ownership before committing for weeks.
Write the plan before the open
Put the survivors on your watchlist with an entry level, a stop-loss and a target. The plan is made in the evening so the session is about execution.
A screener works on closing data and suits trades held for days or weeks. A live scanner updates during the session and suits intraday decisions. The words are often used interchangeably, but the data they run on decides which job they can do.
If you trade within the day, the end-of-day screener is a planning tool, not a trigger. BreakPoint keeps both on one watchlist, so a stock found in the evening can be watched live the next morning.
Prepared setups
You pick a setup and read the results with the indicator columns beside them. Faster to use, and you see the reasoning instead of a black box.
Your own conditions
You write the exact rule — say, a close above a moving average with a minimum volume. More flexible, but the work of designing and testing the rule is yours.
Technical with fundamental
A chart setup in a company with weak cash flow is a different risk from the same setup in a strong business. Having both on one shortlist saves a step.
Levels on every result
Whatever you choose, each result should come with the support and resistance you will place a stop against.
If you want to write and share your own scan conditions, a dedicated condition builder such as Chartink fits that job well, and many traders use both. The comparison page explains how BreakPoint, Chartink, Trendlyne, StockEdge and others differ, and where each one fits. Compare stock scanners.

A stock screener filters the whole market down to the stocks that meet a set of conditions — a trend, an indicator reading, a pattern, a fundamental ratio. Most screeners run on end-of-day data and are used to plan swing and positional trades.
The terms overlap. In practice a screener usually works on closing data and is used for planning, while a scanner usually updates live during the session and is used for intraday decisions. BreakPoint has both, sharing one watchlist.
Yes. The positional screener has prepared setups such as the golden cross and oversold bounce, and shows EMA, RSI, MACD and candle-pattern columns beside every result so you can verify each setup.
Yes. The Stage 2 tracker lists stocks that have entered a Stage 2 uptrend, when each qualified, how it has performed since and whether it is still in the phase. The trading lesson on Stage 2 stocks explains the four stages.
It is a swing list picked by BreakPoint’s SmartMoney model, included with SMC Pro. The selection method stays private; each stock carries its support and resistance and how it has done since it first appeared on the list.
Yes. FundaX company pages show financials, ratios, ownership and corporate actions for listed NSE companies, and are free to read, so you can check the business behind a technical setup.
The guides, the trading lessons and the FundaX company pages are free. The screeners themselves are part of the paid plans. If you trade only occasionally, a free screener is often the sensible choice, and the comparison page says so.
No. It shortlists stocks that meet a setup and shows the context to judge them. The decision, the position size and the risk are yours.
Read the positional screener guide to see the presets and columns, then compare plans when you are ready.
