What the Picks Page Does

The Picks page is a single destination for stocks that have already passed a filter. Instead of building a screen from scratch every session, each tab gives you a pre-ranked list with specific logic — technical momentum, fundamental quality, dividend stability, or AI-assessed results quality.

The page draws from 1,200+ NSE companies. Every list is computed fresh, not curated manually. Free accounts see the top 5 rows per list; Premium accounts see the full 25.

📊 Trader
Live technical scans — Stage 2, VCP, High Volume, BRS. Requires Finmagine Trader extension.
⭐ Top Quality
High ROE, ROCE & margins with low debt and consistent profit growth.
🚀 Momentum
Strong 1-year price return with solid 3-year and 5-year track records.
💰 Dividend Stars
High promoter holding, low pledge, consistent growth — for income investors.
💎 Hidden Gems
Mid & small cap companies with exceptional fundamentals flying under the radar.
🔍 Scans
8 targeted fundamental quality scans — High ROE, Low Debt, FCF Positive, and more.
📈 Quarterly Results
AI-assessed STRONG / MIXED / WEAK verdicts for the most recent reporting quarter.

📊 Trader Tab

⚡ Extension Required
The Trader tab is powered by data pushed by the Finmagine Trader Chrome extension. Install it and keep it running during market hours — the extension scans NSE prices and pushes results to your account. If no data has been pushed yet, the tab shows a setup prompt.

Sub-Tabs

Eight sub-tabs filter the pushed data by scan type. Each has a ⁋ Rules button that shows the exact entry criteria in plain language.

Sub-Tab What It Finds Best Use
⭐ All Three Stage 2 + Near 52W High + High Volume — all three confirmed simultaneously Highest conviction entries; fewest stocks by design
🚀 Stage 2 + Near High Stage 2 uptrend with price within 2% of 52W high — no overhead supply Watchlist candidates just below breakout
📈 Stage 2 Full Stage 2 universe: SMA 50 > 150 > 200, all rising, within 25% of 52W high Broad universe for sector rotation research
📊 High Volume Volume above 20-day average on an up day — institutional accumulation signal Spot fresh interest before price moves significantly
💎 VCP Breakout Volatility Contraction Pattern — small-to-mid cap (≤₹30K Cr) coiling before breakout Positional trades with asymmetric upside
🔊 Volume HVQ / HVY / HVD / HVE record-breaking volume days + Bull Snort + PEAD Spot unusual institutional accumulation events
🌟 IPO Breakout Stocks listed in last 365 days — look for U-base below first-day high before entry Recent listings building their first base
🎯 BRS Breakout Readiness Score (0–100) — composite of Trend Template, RS vs Nifty, 52W High proximity, Stage, and Breakout Quality Rank the full scan universe by breakout conviction

Signal Badges

Each stock row carries colour-coded badges for the signals it satisfies:

S2Stage 2 — SMA 50 > SMA 150 > SMA 200, all rising in alignment
NHNear 52W High — price within 2% of its 52-week high, no overhead resistance
HVHigh Volume — today's volume above the 20-day average
VCPVCP — Volatility Contraction Pattern, price coiling in a progressively tighter range
IPOIPO — recent listing (within 365 days), still building its first base
TTTight Trading — very low volatility range, stock coiling before a move

The Score Badge

The amber circular badge counts how many signals a stock currently satisfies (0–4). A score of 4 means S2 + NH + HV + VCP all fire simultaneously — the highest conviction reading on the page.

4All signals confirmed — maximum conviction
2Two signals active — worth adding to watchlist

Filter Bar

Once a scan sub-tab is selected, a filter bar narrows results in real time. All filters stack together:

Volume Sub-Tab — HV Signals

Records when today's volume is the highest over a specific look-back period. Only up days are included so the signal reflects accumulation, not distribution. Each stock appears only once, under its strongest signal.

HVEHighest Volume Ever (~15 years) — generational record. Extremely rare.
HVDHighest Volume Decade (~10 years) — decade record
HVYHighest Volume Year — highest single day in 12 months
HVQHighest Volume Quarter — highest single day in 3 months

The Stage badge (S1/S2/S3/S4) and BRS score are shown alongside so you can quickly judge whether the event is happening in a technically sound uptrend.

💡 PEAD — Post-Earnings Announcement Drift
The PEAD chip shows stocks that experienced a high-volume event near their results and are still inside the drift window — before their next earnings, during which positive surprise tends to continue pushing prices higher. Below the PEAD list, a Historical Backtest Archive (Premium) shows every past candidate, their detection price, and Max Return to next earnings.

BRS — Breakout Readiness Score

A 0–100 composite that answers: how close is this stock to a high-quality breakout right now? Components: Trend Template (25 pts) · RS vs Nifty 50 (25 pts) · Proximity to 52W High (20 pts) · Weinstein Stage (20 pts) · Breakout Quality Bonus (10 pts).

ScoreTagMeaning

⭐ Top Quality, 🚀 Momentum, 💰 Dividend Stars, 💎 Hidden Gems

These four tabs are algorithmically computed from the Finmagine fundamental database. Each shows up to 25 companies ranked by a composite score built from that tab's criteria. All include a Score badge, sortable column headers, and a TradingView export toolbar.

List What It Measures Typical Investor
⭐ Top Quality ROE, ROCE, operating margins, debt-to-equity, consistency of profit growth Quality investors — buy-and-hold compounders

🔍 Scans Tab

Eight focused fundamental screens presented as a tile grid. Click any tile to expand a live results table. Click again to collapse. Only one scan expands at a time, so the page stays clean.

📈 High ROE
Return on Equity above threshold, consistent over multiple years
🏭 High ROCE
Return on Capital Employed — operational efficiency measure
🛡️ Low Debt
Debt-to-equity below threshold — balance sheet resilience
🔓 Pledge Free
Zero or near-zero promoter pledge — governance signal
🚀 Profit Growth
Consistent net profit growth across multiple years
💰 FCF Positive
Free Cash Flow positive — earnings backed by real cash
⚖️ Quality at Value
High quality score combined with below-average valuation
⚡ Momentum + Quality
Strong price momentum with a solid fundamental score

The tile header shows a live stock count. The expanded table includes key metric columns and the Score badge. Premium sees the full result set; free accounts see a preview.

📈 Quarterly Results Tab

Each quarter after results season, the AI generates a verdict for every company that reported — assessed purely from reported numbers (revenue, profit, margins). Management commentary, guidance, and qualitative factors are not part of the verdict.

✅ STRONG Revenue, profit, and margins all improved meaningfully vs the same quarter last year
⚠️ MIXED Some metrics improved, others softened — directionally neutral
❌ WEAK Revenue and/or profit contracted, or margins compressed significantly

Filters and Cross-Reference

Free Account Limitation
Free accounts see only the top 5 STRONG results. All MIXED and WEAK results, and the rest of the STRONG list, require Premium.

Suggested Workflows

1. Morning Conviction Scan

Open Trader → All Three. If fewer than 5 stocks appear, that is by design — only the tightest setups survived all three filters simultaneously. These are the stocks most worth researching first that day.

2. Build a Stage 2 Watchlist

Go to Trader → Stage 2 + Near High. Filter by MCap >₹2K Cr and Score ≥2. Download the list for TradingView. Check each chart for a tight base or VCP coiling below the 52W high.

3. Quarterly Results Portfolio Review

After results season, go to Quarterly Results → tap My Holdings. See your stocks sorted by verdict. A STRONG verdict + high ECS = hold or add conviction. A WEAK verdict + low ECS = review your thesis before the next quarter.

4. High-Volume Event Research

Go to Trader → Volume → filter to HVD or HVE. These are stocks with decade or generational buying pressure on an up day. An HVD/HVE event in a Stage 2 stock is historically one of the strongest signals on the platform.

5. Quality + FCF Overlap

Go to Scans → expand FCF Positive, download the list. Then export Top Quality. Find the overlap — companies that are both FCF-positive and in the Top Quality list. This intersection is your highest-conviction fundamental filter.
