Strategy overview

Volume analysis is normally done on a chart, one instrument at a time; this entry inverts that, using volume as a screening statistic applied across a whole universe of stocks before any chart is opened. The source video, "5 Filters I Run Before Every Trade: Swing Trading Checklist" from Breakout with Motilal Oswal, presents five free Chartink screeners and frames them as a pre-trade routine rather than a setup — what you get from running them is a shortlist, not an entry.

The list is worth reading closely because its five items do not sit at the same resolution. HVQ, HVY and HVE (highest volume in a quarter, in a year, and ever), the Stage 2 filter borrowed from Stan Weinstein's stage framework, and the Pocket Pivot scan are all stock-level questions — about participation, about where a name sits in its own cycle, about early institutional buying. Net New Highs and MARS are not: they read market breadth and sector strength, and say nothing about any individual stock. So three of the filters find candidates and two supply the context those candidates are judged in — yet the recorded chapter order doesn't follow that hierarchy. It opens at the stock, widens to breadth and sector around the seven-minute mark, then returns to the stock. The material is delivered as a flat checklist even though it describes a nested funnel. Everything runs on the daily timeframe, which is what makes a screen-first workflow practical at all: the scans need running once a session, not watching.

The record for this entry carries no scan syntax, thresholds or parameters, so the exact definition behind each screener isn't recoverable from it — a gap that matters more here than usual, because a screener essentially *is* its definition. Two things are worth holding onto when reading the concepts themselves: "highest volume ever" is measured against a stock's own recorded history, so the same filter means something different on a decade-old listing than on a recent one; and any screen is bound to the universe it runs on, which here is the India-listed market that both the screening platform and the broker channel presenting these scans serve. This page stays at the level of what the five filters are asking.

Frequently asked questions

What do the HVQ, HVY and HVE screeners look for?

They flag stocks printing their highest volume in a quarter (HVQ), in a year (HVY), or ever (HVE). All three are relative measures — the reference is the stock's own trading history, not a fixed share count — so they surface names where participation has jumped well beyond that stock's normal range.

What is a Stage 2 stock in Stan Weinstein's methodology?

Weinstein's framework divides a stock's long-term price cycle into four stages: basing, advancing, topping and declining. Stage 2 is the advancing phase that follows a base, which is why stage-based screens are commonly used to restrict a watchlist to names already in an uptrend rather than ones still building one.

How are Net New Highs and MARS different from the other filters in this checklist?

They operate at a different scope. Net New Highs is a market-breadth reading — how many stocks are making new highs versus new lows across the market — and MARS is presented as a sectoral strength dashboard. Neither identifies a stock to trade; they describe the environment a candidate would be traded in.

Do I need a specific screening platform to use a checklist like this?

The five screeners in this video are built on Chartink and run against an India-listed universe, but the underlying questions — unusual volume versus a stock's own history, stage of trend, market breadth, sector strength, early accumulation — can be expressed on most screening tools that cover your market. Strategy Decoder catalogs the structure of strategies like this one from their video sources so you can see what a setup is asking before deciding how to build it.
