Gap Down Stocks Screener NSE

Gap down stocks open below their previous close — useful for short sellers and for spotting reversal trades once the gap starts filling.

What Is This Screener?

A gap down happens when selling pressure overnight causes a stock to open well below its previous close. Traders use gap down screeners either to short the continuation or to watch for gap-fill reversals when the selling exhausts.

Screening Criteria

• Opening price < Previous close by 1% or more
• Volume confirmation in first candle
• Watch for gap fill reversal after 10:00 AM
• Avoid stocks in lower circuit

Why This Screener Works

This screener is best suited for Intraday traders. The optimal entry window is 9:15 AM – 10:00 AM. The strategy works because it filters out low-probability setups by requiring both price and volume confirmation before generating a signal.

How to Use This on BottomStreet

Open the BottomStreet app and navigate to the Screeners tab. Select the Gap Down Stocks Screener NSE preset from the strategy list. The screener updates in real time during market hours (9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST). Tap any result to view the full chart, key levels, and related technical data.

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.
