How to use the crossed above/below functions correctly?

The crossover function is primarily designed for use with indicators such as the MACD line crossing the MACD signal or the EMA20 crossing the EMA50, and in such cases, it works effectively.

However, when applied to attributes like a 5-minute close crossing the high of 1 day ago or even for the fixed candle offset, like the current 5-minute close crossing [=1] 5-minute high (day’s first candle high). The crossover function may not deliver accurate results. This is because it compares two different timeframes—5-minute (intraday) and the daily candle (from 1 day ago) leading to incorrect outcomes.

Crossover on different timeframe(INCORRECT) –

Fixed candle Cross-over(INCORRECT) –

In such scenarios, the appropriate approach would be to use ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ conditions. Below is the modified version of the scan to reflect this. Below is an example scanner –

Are charts not loading/showing properly?

Why is volume data not available for indices like Nifty and Banknifty?

Indices like Nifty and Banknifty do not have volume data because they are composite instruments of multiple stocks. Indices are calculated based on the price movements of the underlying stocks rather than their volume. Hence, volume data is irrelevant for indices and not displayed on charts and scans.  

Do you have pre-defined scans that we can run?

On our “SCREENER” page, many pre-built screeners are available for use. These screeners can be found on the list and used to start your analysis. You can choose from fundamental and technical screeners according to your preferred strategy. You also search for other scans as well—E.g., breakout stocks, RSI scanners, NR 7 scans…etc.
Here is an example of searched scans – Search for NR7 scans
