Volume Burst

What this tab finds

Volume Burst lists stocks that printed one loud candle - a big move on at least three times the usual volume - and shows what has happened since. Each row is one stock, on one timeframe, in one direction: a buying burst (a big rise) or a selling burst (a big fall).

The rule is fixed by the engine, not typed by you. Beside each setup the tab prints the facts a buyer of size would check - how much the stock trades, where on the bigger chart the burst happened, whether the pause is holding - and six checks that turn those facts into a tick, a cross or a grey dot.

Keep in mind. A checklist, not a forecast. How often setups with more checks went on to work has not been measured, so this tab prints no success rate.

The burst: what counts

A candle is a burst when all three hold:

• Move: it closed at least a set per cent beyond the previous candle's close (close on close). The step grows with the timeframe: 4% on 1 day, 6% on 3 day, 8% on 1 week, 10% on 2 week, 12% on 1 month, 15% on 2 month, 20% on 3 month.
• Volume: at least 3 times the average volume of the 20 candles before it.
• Close: in the half of its range the move points to - the upper half for a rise, the lower half for a fall.

A selling burst is the same rule turned over: a fall of at least the step, on 3× volume, closing in the lower half. Only closed candles are used; the candle still forming is never judged.

A row stays on the list for 20 closed candles after its burst, then leaves - or sooner, if a newer burst in the same direction replaces it.

The four states

The tabs under the controls split the setups by what the closed candles after the burst have done. The first close outside the burst candle's range decides it for good. Each tab shows its count.

Closes, not wicks: a wick through the high that closes back inside has not broken out. The After column's 'candles inside' counts only the candles that stayed WHOLLY inside, so a coiling row can read 0 candles inside if wicks poked out but every close held.

The six checks, in plain words

Each check is a fact held against a limit. The dots in the Checks column are in this order; green passes, red does not, grey is not known yet. Open a stock to read each one as a sentence. All of them except Holding are measured at the burst, on daily sessions, so they read the same on every timeframe.

Keep in mind. Because delivery is not read yet, no row can show more than 5 checks today, and a Just fired row no more than 4 (Holding is unknown until a candle closes). The default list asks for 4 or more.

Reading a row

The controls

The sidebar's universe and filters pick the stocks first. Every control below is kept in the page address, so a view can be bookmarked or kept with Save scan. This tab has no filter row under its column headers.

Under the tabs, a line names the count and the date of the newest closed candle judged, e.g. "3 coiling on the 1 day candle · closed candles up to 1 Oct", and how many stocks were scanned.

Live setups by sector: a row of chips counting the Coiling and Just fired setups of the chosen direction (at your checks setting) per sector, up to eight. A sector with 3 or more is highlighted. The line ends with "A count, not a signal."

Timeframes

Seven candle sizes: 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 2 week, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month. Each has its own burst step (4% up to 20%) and its own list. A row follows its setup for 20 candles of that size - 20 days on daily, 20 weeks on weekly.

Slower lists are judged on the last CLOSED candle of that size. On 2 Oct 2026 the 1 day list read "closed candles up to 1 Oct", while the 1 week list read "closed candles up to 25 Sep" - the week of 28 Sep had not closed when it was judged.

The facts behind the checks (rupees traded, 52-week extreme, 200-day average, base, daily ATR) are always measured on daily sessions, so a weekly row's Good place uses the same yardstick as a daily one.

The chart (click a stock)

Clicking the symbol opens the setup on the site's one chart, on the row's own timeframe, starting about 60 candles before the burst so the base it came out of is in view. Its header names the stock, the chart and the setup, e.g. ABBOTINDIA · Daily · ignition, with buying burst, 4 of 6 checks.

• Volume pane under the candles, with the average of the 20 candles before each one as a dotted line. The burst's volume bar is picked out.
• The burst candle is marked with its multiple, e.g. 5.1× volume.
• A box from the burst to now with two lines: Trigger and Stop. For a buying burst the Trigger is the burst's high and the Stop its low; for a selling burst they swap.
• A sentence over the chart: the row in words, e.g. Buying burst on 18 Sep: +5.25% on 5.1× volume ... 4 of 6 checks.
• Beside it: Checks · N of 6, each with its fact and limit; and What would change it - Breaks out (a close beyond the trigger, and how far), Fails (a close beyond the stop), Risk (trigger to stop, in % and daily ATR), Room (trigger to the 52-week extreme). Selling bursts add Use: In F&O, so it can be sold short - or Not in F&O: a warning for holders, not a trade.
• Other speeds on the strip show that chart plainly, without the box: The setup was judged on 1 day candles. This is the weekly chart itself.

1. Click the symbol.
2. Find the picked-out volume bar and the dotted average: how far above it was the burst?
3. Read the box: where is the last candle between Trigger and Stop?
4. Open Layers for averages, levels and trendlines; tick a slower timeframe under Trendlines from to lay its lines on these candles.

Tip. If the chart file is newer than the row, the popup says so in amber (for example, it counts a different number of candles after the burst). The row was judged on the close it names.

Buying bursts and selling bursts

Every rule mirrors. A selling burst is a fall of at least the step on 3× volume, closing in the lower half; its Trigger is the burst's LOW and its Stop the HIGH; Strong close means the bottom quarter; Good place means near the 52-week LOW and below the 200-day average; Holding means the newest close in the lower half.

• F&O stocks can be sold short through futures and options; the Stock cell says F&O.
• Other stocks cannot be shorted overnight in the cash market; the Stock cell says holders' warning - a sign for someone who owns it, not a trade.

Scenarios, step by step

Real rows from 2 Oct 2026 (a market holiday; daily rows judged on the 1 Oct close). Rows leave after 20 candles, so these will have moved on.

1. Coiling setups with 4 or more checks on the daily (the default view).

1. Open the tab: Buying bursts, 1 day, Checks passed 4 or more, Coiling.
2. Tick Hide hard-to-trade stocks if you need size.
3. For each row read After (is volume drying up?) and Risk (how far is the stop?).
4. Open the stock and read the checks that did not pass.

2. Fresh bursts.

1. Click the Just fired tab.
2. Set Checks passed to any - a fresh burst cannot pass Holding yet.
3. Sort by Loudest volume or Most traded (₹).
4. Wait for the next closed candle: it decides Coiling, Broke out or Failed.

3. Selling bursts in F&O.

1. Click Selling bursts.
2. Use the Just fired or Coiling tab; set Checks passed to suit.
3. In the Stock cell, look for F&O; skip holders' warning rows if you want a short trade.
4. Open the stock: the plan shows Use: In F&O, so it can be sold short.

4. Weekly bursts.

1. Set Timeframe to 1 week.
2. Note the sub-heading date: the last closed week.
3. Open the stock: the box spans weeks; step the strip to the daily chart to see the days inside it.

5. Setups that already broke out.

1. Click Broke out.
2. Read After for the breakout date and whether it paused first.
3. Read Risk: how far past the trigger the last close is, and where the stop is.

6. Setups that failed.

1. Click Failed.
2. Read After: Failed on a date, closed below the burst candle.
3. Open the stock to see how long it held before the stop gave way.

What this tab does not tell you

• Whether more checks means a better outcome. That has not been measured; the tab prints no success rate.
• Delivery: the Real buying / Real selling check is not read yet and is grey on every row.
• What the live candle is doing. States are judged on closed candles; the Risk cell's now line is the only live price.
• Anything after 20 candles. A row leaves the list then, whatever the price did.
• Where to exit. Trigger and Stop are the burst candle's high and low, not targets.
• News or the reason behind the volume.

Keep in mind. A checklist, not a forecast. Nothing here is advice to buy, sell or short any stock.
