Choose a research question, understand its filter, then open the matching Alpha Nova preset. These guides explain the app’s rules and tradeoffs. Current matches and their data dates appear in the interactive screener.
Alpha Nova’s delivery accumulation screener finds stocks with unusually large delivered quantities, a delivery share of at least 45%, and a non-negative daily price change. It compares each stock with its own recent delivery history to create a shortlist for research. The label does not identify who bought the shares.
Alpha Nova’s volume surge screen selects stocks whose latest NSE traded quantity is at least twice the average across available observations in the prior 20 sessions, with a non-negative daily price change. It highlights unusual participation for further research; it does not measure buying pressure or predict the next price move.
Alpha Nova’s 20-day breakout screener looks for an NSE closing price above the highest high in the available prior 20 sessions, combined with traded volume of at least 1.3 times its recent baseline. It identifies a specific price-and-volume condition, rather than confirming that a breakout will continue.
Alpha Nova’s near-52-week-high preset filters for a latest price within 3% of the highest available daily close over up to 252 observations, together with at least 1.5 times normal volume. Its high reference is based on closing prices, so it can differ from an exchange’s official intraday 52-week high.
Alpha Nova’s relative strength screener selects stocks whose return over 63 trading observations exceeds the Nifty 50 return by at least 10 percentage points, while their return over 21 observations is non-negative. This is a benchmark-relative price comparison. It is different from the RSI momentum oscillator.
Alpha Nova’s adapted Minervini trend template screens for an ordered price and moving-average structure, a rising 200-day average, distance above the available yearly closing low and proximity to the closing high. It also requires a Alpha Nova composite score of at least 70. This is an adaptation with explicit data limits.
How do the screens differ?
Delivery accumulation measures delivered quantity; volume surge measures all traded shares. A 20-day breakout requires a close above prior daily highs, while the near-high screen measures distance from an available closing-price high. Relative strength compares performance with Nifty 50; the adapted trend template combines moving averages and a composite score.
