How to use Algo Py

Algo Py is a set of screeners for the Indian market. You open the site, pick a market, run a strategy, and read the results — all in the browser. The app never places an order — it only helps you find and study stocks.

From the home page or the Explore menu, pick NSE, BSE or Mutual Funds. Each opens a page of strategy cards — the equity and F&O screeners for NSE, equity for BSE, the fund tools for Mutual Funds — and, for NSE and BSE, a Data & calendars shelf of reference pages beneath them.

The site separates these two on purpose, and it is worth keeping them apart in your head. A strategy applies rules and reaches a verdict — it is an opinion, and you should argue with it. Data & calendars reach no verdict at all: they are the facts other people's opinions are built from.

Strategies — these produce a signal, so read the rules before trusting one:

• Earnings Insight Tracker — after a company reports, did the price break out and hold above its reaction high? Also flags a volume surge and a stop-loss.
• Stage 2 Earnings Breakout — was the stock in a healthy long-term uptrend (Minervini / Weinstein Stage 2) on the day it reported?
• Trend Titans — large-caps in a confirmed uptrend (above rising 50/150/200-day averages, top-20% relative strength, above VWAP), each with a Trade Plan. It does not beat the index — the page says so.
• Pullback Pro — buy-the-dip swing: a large-cap in a clean uptrend that pulled back to support on quiet volume and coiled into a breakout; entry, stop and 2R/4R targets.
• Coil Hunter — an all-caps flag / VCP scanner: a pole, a tight volume-drying coil, a breakout. A checklist, not a score, with a Weeks | Days timeframe toggle.
• Gap & Go — an all-caps gap-up breakout: gaps up 3%+, holds the gap all day, then breaks its pivot on a close. No trend filter — a pure gap pattern.
• Annual Alpha (Fundamentals) — values every stock from five years of EPS: forward P/E sets a fair-value target and a Positive / Neutral / Negative reading. A mechanical valuation, not a mispricing call.
• Quarterly Alpha (Fundamentals) — the same forward-EPS valuation on the last five quarters — a faster, seasonal read.
• Enterprise Value Model (Fundamentals) — values every stock on EV/EBITDA: five years of enterprise value set a debt-adjusted target and a Positive / Neutral / Negative reading.
• Ten Pillars (Fundamentals) — grades every stock on ten fundamental checks (pledge, reserves, debt, liquidity, ROCE, inventory, cash flow, P/E, P/BV, dividend yield). Each pillar reads Positive / Negative / Neutral; 7 of 10 Positive and the scorecard reads Positive. A checklist of reported figures, not a forecast.
• Fundamental Consensus (Fundamentals) — the four screens above in one row per company. It runs no model of its own: it counts their existing readings, and 4 of 4 agreeing reads Strong positive / Strong negative, 3 of 4 Positive / Negative. Only stocks all four could value are scored, and the four models are structurally optimistic — a unanimous Negative is rare.
• Drawdown Radar — every share ranked by how far it has fallen from its all-time high, and what it would take to recover.
• Phoenix Radar — the overlap of the Drawdown Radar and the Earnings Insight Tracker: stocks down 90%+ that also broke out after results. A speculative turnaround watch — distressed names, and the breakout is historical, not live.
• IPO Breakout (NSE) — every NSE IPO since 2021 tracked against its listing-day high (the trigger) and low (the invalidation floor). A screener, not a signal.
• F&O Momentum Watchlist (NSE) — an end-of-day options screen. It ships with a transparent backtest showing it loses money — an educational screen, not a system.
• Bank Nifty Strike Radar (NSE, index options) — picks two strikes to watch for the monthly expiry with a ×2+1 trigger and a 2× target. No stop-loss by design; not backtested.
• MF X-Ray (mutual funds) — the commission gap between a fund's Direct and Regular plans; ranks on cost and risk, never past returns.
• Compare Funds (mutual funds) — score 2–7 funds of the same type side by side over a period you choose. It makes no prediction.
• ETF Theme Rotation (mutual funds) — an ETF is a mutual-fund scheme, bought on the exchange instead of from the AMC. NSE lists ~342 of them but only ~49 distinct exposures, so each theme is represented by its single most liquid fund. It holds the top 3 themes while they trade above their own 100-day average, sells one only when that trend breaks (never because its rank slipped), and moves to cash whenever the index is below its 200-day average. The only monthly screen here, and the only one that keeps a portfolio. It ranks what has already moved — it is not a forecast.

Data & calendars — no signal, no verdict, nothing to act on by itself. These tell you what happened or what is scheduled; what it means is your call:

• Earnings Calendar (NSE & BSE) — who reports and when; the calendar the Earnings Insight Tracker and Stage 2 are both built on.
• Gainers & Losers and Most Active (NSE & BSE) — the day's biggest movers, and the busiest stocks by turnover and volume with a volume-surge flag.
• Astro Almanac (NSE & BSE) — not a strategy. A 2013 book's astrology claims tested against 25 years of real data. It does not work — shown, not traded.
• Bulk & Block Deals (NSE) — who bought and sold each stock, by name. Large disclosed deals, not "FII activity".
• Shareholding Pattern (NSE) — how much of each company FIIs/DIIs own, and which way the stake moved. Quarterly context, not a signal.
• Corporate Actions (NSE & BSE) — every dividend, split, bonus, rights and buyback, with the ex-date, the last day to buy and the yield — plus the honest tax caveats.
• 52-Week Highs & Lows (NSE & BSE) — which stocks break to a new yearly high or sit near their low, computed from split/bonus-adjusted daily candles.
• Market Holidays (NSE & BSE) — the trading calendar: which days the market is shut, and the next one coming. The same holiday data every date calculation on this site runs on, so a "15 sessions later" is real sessions, not 15 calendar days.
• Sector Almanac (NSE) — the sector-wise half of the astrology study: what the book predicts for each sector, printed beside what actually happened. Not a signal, for the same reason as the Astro Almanac above.

The Astro Almanac sits here rather than with the strategies, and the site badges it a study, because it is one: it exists to show a claim being tested and failing, not to be traded.

Each result is a row you can tap to expand. Inside you'll find the numbers behind the verdict, copy buttons for the symbol / name, a Chart with the strategy's lines drawn on it, and (on Trend Titans) a full Trade Plan.

Use the Filters button to narrow the list, Sort to reorder it, and the Screener link to jump to fundamentals on screener.in.

Every screener has a Share button on each row, and some pages also have one for the whole screen — Coil Hunter and the Bank Nifty Strike Radar share a summary of the page, the Astro Almanac shares the day. It copies to your clipboard straight away, then offers to pass it on — on a phone through your normal share sheet (WhatsApp, Telegram, whatever you use), on a desktop through a small dialog that shows you exactly what was copied.

The message carries the rule, not just the number. That is deliberate. A row pulled out of a screener and pasted into a group chat loses all its context — which is precisely how “this stock hit its target” turns into a tip. So the text spells out what a “hit” actually means, and it repeats the honest caveat: the F&O message says in itself that the strategy loses money in backtest; the Trend Titans message says the screen does not beat the index; the Drawdown message carries its data-quality warnings; the ETF Theme Rotation message says it is not a forecast, and that in its test two themes (gold and silver) produced 40% of the profit and there was a fourteen-month stretch below a previous high.

The message contains no link and no page name — just the numbers and the caveat. Nothing is sent anywhere when you press Share: the copy happens in your browser, and a third-party app only opens if you choose one.

On Trend Titans, each stock carries a plain plan: a one-word action (BUY / WAIT / AVOID / WATCH), a buy zone, an initial stop and a trailing exit — you ride the trend and get out on a daily close below the 50-day average rather than selling at a fixed target (backtested: letting winners run roughly doubled the return-per-drawdown). The next resistance is shown only as a landmark so you know where the overhead wall is — you trail through it, you do not sell there. It is a study aid, not a recommendation — always do the “Before you buy” checks yourself. See Reading the results responsibly.
