The Kite screener lets you filter stocks based on price action and fundamental criteria. Along with custom screeners, Kite offers preset screeners, which are ready-made filters that help you quickly find stocks matching common trading and investing themes.
Preset screeners are divided into two categories: Price action and Fundamentals.
Price action screeners
Price action screeners use intraday data (open, high, low, close, volume, VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), previous close, and 52-week high/low) to surface stocks based on how they are trading during the day.

Top losers: Stocks with the highest percentage price decline for the day.

- Sorted by: Daily % change, lowest first.
Gap up: Stocks that opened at least 2% above the previous close and are currently trading above the open price.
- Condition: Open ≥ Previous close × 1.02, and LTP (Last Traded Price) > Open.

Things to keep in mind
- Negative Debt/Equity ratios are excluded. In screeners that filter by Debt/Equity below a threshold, stocks with a negative Debt/Equity ratio are excluded, as this typically indicates negative net worth rather than a debt-free balance sheet.
- Fundamental data is based on the latest available quarterly report.
- Price action screeners reflect live intraday data and update in real time during market hours.
