Evaluate Multi-Timeframe Indicator Matrices
Updated 31 October 2026 · 2 min read · 14 Contents
Plain-language meaning
The multi-timeframe matrix shows, for each NSE listing in a chosen universe, the state of an indicator on the 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour and daily timeframes side by side.
Why it is useful #
It shows at a glance whether short and long timeframes agree, so a user can see alignment or conflict before opening a chart.
Where it appears and the workflow #
Open Multi-Timeframe Scanner from the screener menu (/Screener/Matrix). Choose the universe (Nifty 50, Nifty 500 or all NSE) and an indicator — SuperTrend, EMA, SMA, MACD, PSAR, ADX, Dow Trend, RSI, RMI, Stochastic, Williams %R or Bollinger %B — or All for a consensus view. The page requires the advanced-screeners entitlement.
Calculation or source #
Each cell applies the indicator's documented rule to completed bars of that timeframe and reports its state. The All view combines the indicators' states into a consensus for each timeframe.
Prerequisites, inputs, period and unit #
Prerequisites are enough completed bars on each timeframe for the indicator's warm-up. States are bullish, bearish, new bullish, new bearish or no reading.
Worked example #
Illustrative only: a listing can show bullish SuperTrend on the daily and 1-hour timeframes and new bearish on the 15-minute. The short timeframe has just turned against the longer ones.
What high and low mean #
Not a score: a cell is a state, so there is no high or low value.
Positive, negative and zero #
New bullish and new bearish mark a fresh change of state; bullish and bearish mark a continuing one. No reading means the state could not be computed.
Limitations and common mistakes #
Intraday states change quickly and can flip back. Agreement across timeframes is descriptive and does not make a move more likely to continue.
Market-specific differences #
The matrix covers NSE only; other exchanges are not shown.
Suggested next steps #
Choose Nifty 50 and SuperTrend, find one listing where the daily and 15-minute states disagree, and open its chart on both timeframes.
