F&O scanner for NSE: 17 live intraday scans, free after sign-in

TBTflow scans the NSE F&O stock list, about 210 names, every minute from the live exchange feed. Seventeen price and volume scans are free once you sign in with your email. Five flow scans that read futures open interest and VWAP are part of the paid dashboard. Every list says what a stock did, never what to do with it.

The 17 free scans

Each scan is a rule you can read. A stock joins a list the minute it meets the rule, and the row keeps the time it joined and whether it still holds.

Intraday stocks for today: a live list, not a pick

From 09:15 the lists fill as stocks break levels, gap, or trade unusual volume. That is the honest meaning of “intraday stocks for today”: names that are moving now. A stock on a list has done something. Breaks fail, gaps fill and volume fades, so none of these lists is a recommendation to buy or sell.

Build-up stocks today, free every evening

The build-up reading also runs once at the end of every session on the day's full change in futures open interest. That end-of-day list is public: long build-up, short build-up, short covering and long unwinding for every NSE F&O stock.

How the scans are built

What a scanner cannot tell you. Why a stock moved, or whether it will keep moving. Use a list to know where to look, then read the order flow and open interest behind the move.

Quick questions

What is the best F&O scanner for NSE?
We do not rank tools. What we can tell you is what this one does: 17 live price and volume scans on about 210 NSE F&O stocks, free after sign-in, plus five open-interest and VWAP scans in the paid dashboard, with every rule written on this page. Pick a scanner whose rules you can read and check.
Is there a free intraday scanner for NSE F&O stocks?
Yes. The 17 price and volume scans on this page are free once you sign in with your email, and they run live from 09:15.
What is an OI scanner?
An OI scanner lists stocks by how their futures open interest changed next to their price: long build-up, short build-up, short covering and long unwinding. TBTflow runs it live in the paid dashboard and publishes an end-of-day list free after every close.
Which stocks are in long build-up today?
See long build-up stocks today: every NSE F&O stock after each close, sorted into long build-up, short build-up, short covering and long unwinding.
Do these scanners give buy or sell calls?
No. A stock on a list has done something, such as breaking a level or gapping. Breaks fail, gaps fill and build-ups unwind. None of the lists is a recommendation to buy or sell.
F&O scanner kya hota hai?
An F&O scanner checks every stock in the futures and options list against a rule, such as a break of yesterday's high or a jump in open interest, and lists the ones that match. It shows what happened, not what to buy.
