Upper Circuit Stocks NSE

Stocks hitting the upper circuit have reached their maximum allowed price increase for the day — often signalling a major corporate event or breakout.

What Is This Screener?

NSE enforces circuit limits (5%, 10%, or 20%) on most stocks to prevent extreme volatility. When a stock hits its upper circuit, trading is halted temporarily. Experienced traders try to identify upper circuit candidates — stocks with pending triggers — before they hit the limit, using volume and price momentum indicators.

Screening Criteria

• Stock approaching its circuit limit (within 2–3%)
• Unusually high volume for a small/mid cap
• Recent corporate action or news catalyst
• Thin float or low market cap

Why This Screener Works

This screener is best suited for Intraday traders. The optimal entry window is Monitor from 9:15 AM. The strategy works because it filters out low-probability setups by requiring both price and volume confirmation before generating a signal.

Risk Management Tips

• Never enter a trade based on screener results alone — always confirm on the chart before executing.
• Use a stop-loss on every trade. For intraday setups, place it below the opening range low or VWAP.
• Limit position size to 2–5% of your trading capital per trade.
• Exit partial position at first target, trail stop-loss on the remainder.
