Two filters before touching anything.
Both have to say yes. If only one says yes, you wait. That's it.
Start with US Quality Screener or India Quality Screener. Focus on the A+ and A rows first — these passed all financial filters with the strongest scores.
Shows where price sits vs its 200-day moving average. ● ZONE = near or below MA200, reasonable price. ● FAIR = moderately extended. ● RICH = well above MA200, thin margin of safety. Start with ZONE names.
Analyst estimates for current FY / next FY EPS growth. +18% = strong. ⚠ -5% = declining — the business is historically quality but the near-term wind is against you. Best combination: A+ · GREEN ZONE · growing EPS.
Open US Aligned or India Aligned. Find your shortlisted names in the 4/4 Aligned section. A name that passes quality and is 4/4 with CMF > 0 is the full signal: fundamentals confirmed by structure confirmed by accumulation.
A+ quality with a broken chart is a candidate, not a setup. 4/4 aligned with B-grade fundamentals is a chart without conviction. Both filters must say yes. Everything else waits.
| Column | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| A+ A B | Quality grade — scored on margins, ROE, FCF, debt, revenue growth | A+ = all boxes checked. Start here. B = passes filters but lower quality score. |
| Debt/EV | Debt as a fraction of enterprise value | ≤ 0.05 = near-zero debt (A+ threshold). > 0.20 = fails the filter. |
| Op% / Net% | Operating and net profit margins | Higher = more durable. 25%+ operating margin absorbs a lot of bad years. |
| FCF Yld | Free cash flow as % of market cap | Positive = generates real cash. Negative = consumes it. |
| EPS FY | Analyst estimate: current FY growth / next FY | +15% = growing. ⚠ -8% = declining this year. — = sparse analyst coverage. |
| Entry | Price vs MA200d + grade + EPS modifier | ● ZONE = favorable entry. ● FAIR = proceed carefully. ● RICH = stretched. |
| Signal (wk) | Weekly RSI-14 + MACD divergence — both must agree to fire | ⬆ bull = momentum recovering. ⬇ bear = fading. — = no signal (most weeks). |
| Column | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| 4/4 MA | Price above all four MAs: 10w, 20w, 10-month, 20-month | Full structural confirmation — trend intact across all timeframes. |
| RS vs SPY/NIFTY | 13-week price return vs benchmark | > 1.0x = outperforming. 1.15x = 15% stronger than index. Lagging in a bull = red flag. |
| CMF | Chaikin Money Flow — volume weighted to close position in daily range | > +0.10 = clear accumulation. < -0.10 = distribution. ~0 = no conviction. |
| AD OBV | A/D Line slope (↑/↓) + OBV slope (↑/↓) | ↑↑ = both rising, institutions accumulating. ↓↓ = distribution. Mixed = unclear. |
| ◆ bull div | A/D Line rising while price is weak | Smart money accumulating before price confirms. Strongest early signal. |
| ◇ bear div | A/D Line falling while price rises | Distribution into strength — institutions selling while price still looks good. |
| FullCoil | Four MAs compressed close together — energy building | A coil breaking with CMF+ and RS > 1.0x is the highest-conviction setup. |
| Signal | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| ALIGNED | Price above all 4 MAs — 50D, 20W, 10M, 20M | Sector trend confirmed. Names in this sector have structural tailwind. |
| PULLBACK | Long-term MAs (10M, 20M) intact, short-term (50D, 20W) broken | Sector dipped inside a longer uptrend. Potential re-entry zone. |
| AVOID | Below long-term moving averages — structure broken | Wait for structure to rebuild. No actionable setups here. |
Either fully aligned or fully discounted. Nothing in between.
A 3/4 name with a good story is not a setup — it is a candidate. A name with a reasonable valuation and weak structure is not a value buy — it is a hope trade. If it is not fully aligned and not fully discounted, it lives on the watchlist and nowhere else.
These tools do not recommend. They organize questions about quality, structure, and momentum. What you do with the output is your own judgment, your own context, and your own responsibility.
