What is Stock screener, how to use, best screening strategies — complete Hindi guide for Indian stocks.
Stock screener is a tool that filters stocks based on your criteria. Just as filters are applied on job portal (salary, location, experience), similarly filters are applied on stock screener (P/E, market cap, sector).
Simple definition: > Stock screener = "Show me such stocks with PE < 20, market cap > ₹20,000 crore, and ROE > 15%." Screen. Results. Done.
There are 5,000+ listed companies on NSE/BSE. It is practically impossible to manually check the financials of every company. Screener solves that problem — first set criteria, then deeply research only the stocks that pass the criteria. This saves time and also avoids emotional/random stock-picking.
Keep these five points in mind:
• Screener.in — Type: Fundamental, Price: Free + ₹4,999/yr, Best For: Fundamental screening
• Chartink — Type: Technical, Price: Free + ₹999/mo, Best For: Technical screening
• Trendlyne — Type: Both, Price: Free + ₹500/mo, Best For: Mixed screening
• TradingView — Type: Technical, Price: Free + ₹1,499/mo, Best For: Global screening
• TRT — Type: Both, Price: Free, Best For: NSE/BSE screener
Fundamental Filters:
• P/E Ratio — Good Value: < 20, Use Case: Value investing

Keep these seven points in mind:
• go to screener.in
• Create account (free)
• Click on the screen then
• Select Filters (P/E, ROE, etc.)
• Run screen → Results milenge
• Save screen for future use
• Export to Excel for deeper analysis
Keep these four points in mind:
• Go to /stock-analysis-landing — select "Screener" node
• You can set both fundamental filters (P/E, ROE, Market Cap, Debt/Equity) and technical filters (RSI, DMA, Volume) in one place.
• You can directly add results to watchlist for further tracking.
• You can re-run saved screens later — new stocks that match the criteria will automatically appear.
Advantage of TRT: After screening, you can open the result stock directly on charting SUPERCHART – no need to switch different tools.
If you apply 10 filters then you will get 2-3 stocks. Use 4-5 focused filters.
Combine both – focus on quality from fundamental, and entry time from technical.
Do weekly screen — new stocks come in, old stocks drop out.
Screening = starting point. Do deep research before buying.
