Custom GAP UP scanner for NIFTY Stocks

The Custom GAP UP scanner for NIFTY Stocks tool allows traders to simultaneously monitor multiple NIFTY 50 securities for specific gap-up conditions within a single chart interface.

Usage

The tool is designed to identify stocks within a predefined list that have opened at a price at least 0.25% higher than the previous day's close. When the condition is met, the ticker symbol of the qualifying stock is displayed in a label on the right side of the chart.

Traders can use this scanner to:

• Identify potential momentum plays during the market open.
• Monitor a broad selection of 40 NIFTY stocks without manually switching charts.
• Receive automated alerts when any of the monitored stocks satisfy the gap-up criteria.

Details

The script utilizes the request.security function to fetch daily data for a hardcoded list of 40 prominent NIFTY stocks. By centralizing these requests, the script bypasses the need for multiple indicator instances. The core logic defines a gap-up as open > (close[1] * 1.0025). This specific threshold is used to filter out minor price fluctuations and highlight significant opening strength. The results are aggregated and presented in a dynamic label that updates on the last bar of the chart.

Settings

This script does not feature an external inputs menu, as the symbols and conditions are hardcoded into the Pine Script for optimized performance across the specified 40 tickers.

• Symbol List: Monitors a fixed list of 40 NIFTY securities including RELIANCE, HDFCBANK, INFY, SBIN, and others.
• Gap Threshold: Set to a 0.25% increase from the previous close.
