Chartink Alternative for India

The Chartink Alternative That Doesn't Stop at the Scan

Chartink finds stocks and alerts you. Placing the trade happens somewhere else. VolumeLens scans, shows the order flow inside the candle, plans the position and places the order through a connected Zerodha or Groww account — in one place.

Why traders look for a Chartink alternative

Chartink is one of India's most widely used stock screeners, with a point-and-click scan builder, charts, alerts and a large library of public scans. What it does not do is trade: there is no broker connection and no order placement.

So a Chartink scan is usually the start of a routine — open the broker app, look at the chart again, work out the position size, place the order, then set a stop separately. VolumeLens keeps those steps in one place: scan, read the footprint and volume profile, plan the trade and place it through a connected broker.

What Chartink does well

If scanning alone is the job, Chartink does it well. VolumeLens is for traders who want the next steps — order flow, planning and order placement — in the same place.

What you get with VolumeLens

1. A visual scanner with 55+ filters

Filters for price action, volume, moving averages, RSI, MACD, ADX, Bollinger Bands, candlestick patterns, relative strength, delivery percentage and SEPA-style trend templates. Build conditions by clicking, save your scans and turn on alerts.

2. Order flow after the scan

Open a result and see what happened inside the candle: footprint buy and sell volume at each price, cumulative volume delta, session volume profile and a depth ladder. You can see whether a breakout candle traded on strong or weak buying.

3. AI Mentor

AI Mentor describes a chart in plain language or voice — trend, volume levels and order flow — and, with a connected broker, can take your open positions into account. It explains the data; it does not recommend trades.

4. From scan result to order

Open the trade planner with the symbol filled in. Choose a quick order, a signal-based plan, or a step entry of two or three staged entries; set your own stop and target; and place the order through your connected broker. GTT OCO and optional trailing stops are managed afterwards.

5. No broker needed to analyse

The scanner, charts, order flow and AI analysis work without a broker account. Connect Zerodha or Groww only when you want to place orders.

Frequently asked questions

Is VolumeLens free like Chartink?

Partly. The public scanner, charts, watchlists and trade planner are free; with an account, scans, order flow sessions and AI features use pay-per-use coins, and new accounts get their first scan free. Chartink has a free plan with 5-minute delayed data and a Premium plan listed at ₹780 a month.

Which stocks can I scan?

About 2,000 NSE-listed stocks, including F&O stocks with lot sizes, with filters for sector, market cap and delivery percentage. Chartink covers NSE stocks and indices.

Does VolumeLens work with Zerodha?

Yes, through Kite Connect. You log in through Kite, the session token refreshes daily, and you can place orders from the scanner, chart or trade planner. Groww is also supported. Chartink does not place orders.

Do I need to know coding?

No. Both VolumeLens and Chartink build scans with point-and-click conditions — no scripting needed.

Can I get scan alerts during market hours?

Yes. Saved scans can run during market hours and notify you in-app, by push or on Telegram when a stock newly matches. Alert monitoring uses coins.

What about backtesting?

VolumeLens backtests scanner strategies on historical daily data and reports win rate, maximum drawdown, profit factor and an equity curve. Chartink's backtest lists which stocks triggered and when.

Is VolumeLens SEBI registered?

No. VolumeLens is a screening and analysis tool, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, and it does not recommend trades. Every decision stays with you.

How do I move my Chartink scans?

Recreate them with the visual filters. Common conditions — moving average crossovers, RSI levels, volume versus average, 52-week highs — map directly to VolumeLens filters.
