• % from 52 weeks low.

• Top gainers of that particular sector.

A main feature of Chartink is to create one’s own scan for any particular stock using many scanners and other parameters according to your need and set an alert that will send a notification on your email, SMS, or PC as per your requirement whenever the required set of scans are fulfilled.

In Chartink you can also create your own scanner which is quite simple. Just feed in the details of the parameters on which you want to create your scan such as Day’s High/low, Volume increase/ decrease, etc. A series of scanners can be treated to filter out the scans of the previous scanner.

Review-

Chartink is a great tool for all kinds of traders as it makes the job of monitoring multiple stocks at once easy. Without Chartink one has to be glued to the screen and constantly check the prices of all the stocks in his/her wish-list, but if he prepares a particular scan according to their need and add those stocks to the wish-list and run it then Chartink will send a notification to your email, SMS or whatever way is convenient to you. This feature automates the work of monitoring stocks to a large extent.

Besides this, if you are well aware of technical analysis then this software is a blessing as it allows you to create your own analytic scans where it scans all the stocks listed on the NSE and finds out those stocks that matched the scan, with which you can trade and make profits. It makes the job easy of tracking stocks that are about to break out because it will automatically inform your when the breakout happens.

Other than the good points, Chartink has some drawbacks as well, It is not cheap, it charges almost close to the top-charting software out there. This can be a problem for some individuals who are not willing to shed 800-900 bucks per month to get the premium features such as real-time price updates that is very necessary as even a delay of seconds can reduce your overall profitability in day trading. The UI (User Interface) is not that user-friendly for beginners as most of the scanners are complex to use and only people with the basics knowledge of Technical & Fundamental analysis will be able to create those scanners. A beginner will not be able to understand and make use of the full potential.

Conclusion

So to conclude Chartnik is a great option for intermediate to advance level traders who want to develop their own strategies and scanners that can make their work much easier. It also has an extensive amount of tools that can be very useful to Technical as well as Fundamental analysis.

It also provides many pre-set scanners for multiple parameters that can make your work easier. Price-wise the premium pack which includes most of the important features like real-time price updates, automatic scanner running function, and notification on SMS, Email, etc is on the higher side but if the Screener is used extensively then the price paid can be justified.
