Then understand it.
MBI helps you move from the whole market to a sector, a smaller industry group, and finally an individual stock. You do not need to learn every panel first—begin with this three-step path.
1Read the market
Check the regime, breadth, and strongest themes.
2Build a shortlistUse price, candle, result, and volume scans.
3Confirm the setupOpen the chart, compare volume, and inspect trend.
Relative Strength (RS) is a ranking from 0 to 100
Higher scores mean the stock has performed more strongly relative to the broader market over your selected period.

💡
RS is not RSI. RS compares performance against the market. RSI is a separate momentum oscillator shown inside stock charts.

Volume scan
NewFinds stocks whose current candle has exceptional volume for the selected timeframe.
Sum of VolumesTimes Avg Volume5m–1M
Sum mode: current volume > sum of the previous X candles.
Average mode: current volume ≥ Y × average of the previous N candles.
Average mode: current volume ≥ Y × average of the previous N candles.
Defaults: X = 5, N = 200, and Y = 3. The current candle is excluded from its own comparison.

Common scanner behavior: results are arranged by RS. When a scanner has a timeframe selector, clicking a result opens the chart on that same timeframe. Your scanner selections are remembered.

Quick answers
Why is a scanner showing no results?
No stock currently satisfies that exact combination of timeframe, mode, and lookback. Try a shorter lookback or another timeframe without changing the meaning of the scan.
Why did a stock disappear from a scanner?
Scanner membership follows the latest qualifying candle. A stock leaves when the defining condition is no longer true.
What is the difference between Till Date and Absolute Date?
Till Date includes today through X days ahead. Absolute Date includes only the single date exactly X days ahead.
Does opening a scanner result preserve its timeframe?
Yes. Box Breakout, Special Candle, and Volume Scan results open on the timeframe selected in that scanner.
