This scan computes and displays the Simple and Exponential Moving Averages (MAs) for various time periods (10, 21, 50, and 200) across all NSE symbols.

ChartAlert supports a total of nine types of Moving Averages:

As illustrated in this scan, you can employ the general Moving Average function (MA) to calculate any of these nine types of moving averages. Alternatively, you can use the specific functions mentioned above.

OPTION 1

If you wish to calculate and view Moving Average Values based on data other than the Close price, you can modify the scan as shown below. In this example, the 14-period RSI (Relative Strength Index) is computed along with its 5-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

List symbols
Add Column EMA(5,RSI(14)) as EMA_RSI chart(c=red)
Add Column RSI(14) as RS1
Apply to NSE

OPTION 2

To “shift” the position of the Moving Average in both the horizontal and vertical directions, follow the instructions provided below. In this case, we will be shifting the 14-period Exponential Moving Average of the ‘High’ data series. The horizontal shift will be five bars to the right, while the vertical shift will be downwards by 10% of its original position.

List symbols
Add Column EMA(21,High,5,-10) as Shift chart(c=red)
Add Column EMA(21,High) as NoShift chart(c=blue)

Close Near Moving Average

Tags: stocks near 50 day moving average, stocks near moving average

List symbols where Close is near SMA(200)
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red,lw=2) 
Apply to Nifty
Apply to Junior

Within the context of this scan, the phrase “is near” signifies the evaluation of values to determine if they fall within a range of 2% of each other. The purpose of this scan is to identify all symbols belonging to the Nifty and Nifty Junior (Nifty Next 50) indices for which the closing price is within 2% of their respective 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). In this case, the closing price can either be higher or lower than the SMA, as long as it falls within this specified range.

OPTION 1

If the intention is to specifically search for symbols that are both below the SMA(200) and within 2% of it, an additional filter should be incorporated using the following approach:”

List symbols where Close is near SMA(200)
And Close < SMA(200)

Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red,lw=2)

Apply to Nifty
Apply to Junior

OPTION 2

To analyze a different range other than 2%, employ the term “is within”. In the following example, we examine symbols that fall within 1.5% of their 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).

List symbols where Close is within 1.5% of SMA(200)
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red,lw=2)
Apply to Nifty
Apply to Junior

Price Touching Moving Average

Tags: stocks touching moving average screener

List symbols where Price is touching SMA(200)
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red,lw=2)
Apply to NSE

The purpose of this scan is to identify symbols in which any portion of the bar intersects with the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). When we mention “Price is touching”, it means that any part of the bar is in contact with the moving average. In this case, the closing price can be either above or below the SMA.

OPTION 1

If you wish to search for symbols that have touched the SMA(200) but closed below it, you can modify the scan as follows:

List symbols where Price is touching SMA(200)
And Close < SMA(200)

Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red,lw=2)

Apply to NSE

Price Relative to Moving Average (above)

Tags: close above moving average screener, close relative to moving average screener, stocks above moving average screener

List symbols where Close > SMA(200)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,SMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,SMA(200)) as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)
Apply to NSE

This scan identifies NSE symbols where the closing price is higher than the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It calculates the variance between the closing price and the SMA in both Rupee (₹) and percentage (%) terms. Lastly, the results are arranged based on the “price difference” column.

Please note that the percentage difference (referred to as Diff%) is determined by calculating the variance between the closing price and SMA(200) as a percentage of SMA(200).

OPTION 1

Modify the scan criteria to include symbols that are touching the SMA(200).

List symbols where Price is touching SMA(200)
And Close > SMA(200)

Add Column ChgRs(Close,SMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,SMA(200)) as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)

Apply to NSE

OPTION 2

You have the ability to create your own formulas to calculate the change in ₹ (Rupees) and percentage (%). Following the guidelines provided below, you can derive the desired outcomes with accuracy.

List symbols where Close > SMA(200)
Add Column Close-SMA(200) as DiffRs
Add Column (Close/SMA(200) - 1)*100 as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)
Apply to NSE

Price Relative to Moving Average (below)

Tags: close below moving average screener, close relative to moving average screener, stocks below moving average screener

List symbols where Close < SMA(200)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,SMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,SMA(200)) as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs desc
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)
Apply to NSE

This scan is designed to identify NSE symbols whose closing prices are currently below their 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). In addition to this, the scan calculates the difference between the closing price and the SMA in both Rupee (₹) and percentage (%) terms. The results are then sorted based on the column representing the price difference, with the highest differences listed first.

It is important to note that the percentage difference (referred to as Diff%) is determined by calculating the variance between the closing price and the SMA(200) as a percentage of the SMA(200).

OPTION 1

If you prefer, the scan can be modified to specifically identify symbols that are currently touching the SMA(200).

List symbols where Price is touching SMA(200)
And Close < SMA(200)

Add Column ChgRs(Close,SMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,SMA(200)) as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs desc
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)

Apply to NSE

OPTION 2

You have the ability to create your own formulas for calculating the Change in ₹ (Rupees) and percentage (%), as demonstrated below. Rest assured that the outcomes will remain consistent.

List symbols where Close < SMA(200)
Add Column Close-SMA(200) as DiffRs
Add Column (Close/SMA(200) - 1)*100 as Diff%
Sort on Column DiffRs desc
Plot SMA(200) chart(c=red, lw=2)

List symbols where Price is touching EMA(200)
And Close is above EMA(200)

Add Column EMA(200) as EMA200 chart(c=red)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,EMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff%

Apply to NSE

The purpose of this scan is to identify symbols that have experienced a situation where their lowest price has crossed above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), but the closing price has remained above the EMA. The phrase “Price is touching” indicates that any part of the price bar is in contact with the EMA(200).

OPTION 1

Alternatively, the scan can be expressed as follows:

List symbols where Low is below EMA(200)
And Close is above EMA(200)

Add Column EMA(200) as EMA200 chart(c=red)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,EMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff%

Apply to NSE

OPTION 2

An alternative approach to obtaining the identical outcome can be described as follows:

List symbols where EMA(200) is between Close and Low
Add Column EMA(200) as EMA200 chart(c=red)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,EMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff%

Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff% 

Apply to NSE

This scan is designed to identify symbols that have experienced a situation where the highest price of a given period surpasses the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), but the closing price fails to stay above it. The term “Price is touching” indicates that any part of the price bar is in contact with the EMA(200).

OPTION 1

An alternative approach to expressing the same scan is as follows:

List symbols where High is above EMA(200)
And Close is below EMA(200)

Add Column EMA(200) as EMA200 chart(c=red,lw=2)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,EMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff%

Apply to NSE

OPTION 2

An alternative approach to get an identical outcome can be summarized as follows:

List symbols where EMA(200) is between Close and High
Add Column EMA(200) as EMA200 chart(c=red,lw=2)
Add Column ChgRs(Close,EMA(200)) as DiffRs
Add Column Chg%(Close,EMA(200)) as Diff%

Moving Average Confluence

Tags: moving average confluence screener

List symbols where pattern is Moving Average Confluence(1%,EMA,13,21,34,55)
And Close > 50
And Volume > 50000

Plot Moving Average Confluence(1%,EMA,13,21,34,55)

Apply to NSE

The purpose of this scan is to identify NSE symbols that exhibit a close proximity between their 13, 21, 34, and 55-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), with a tolerance of 1% variation.

The “Moving Average Confluence” function allows for a comparison of at least 2 EMAs. There is no upper limit on the number of EMAs that can be included in the analysis.

OPTION 1

Here is another instance that illustrates the concept of Moving Average Confluence. In this case, an additional criterion has been introduced, where we check if the “Close” value is also in close proximity to the Moving Averages.

List symbols where pattern is Moving Average Confluence(1.5%,SMA,21,50,100)
And Close is within 1.5% of SMA(100)

Plot Moving Average Confluence(1.5%,SMA,21,50,100)

Apply to NSE
