How to Select BTST Stocks Like a Pro

BTST (Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow) trading looks simple from the outside - buy before market close, sell on open the next day. But ask any seasoned trader and they’ll tell you: stock selection is the real game.

You can’t just pick random gainers from a list and expect results.

In this blog, we’ll break down a simple, practical framework to help you select the right BTST stocks - the ones with the highest potential to move in your favour the next day.

What Makes a Stock BTST-Worthy?

A good BTST pick typically shows signs of:

• Strong buying momentum

• A price breakout

• Unusual volume surge

• Backing by data or sentiment

• Low risk of reversal or manipulation

But how do you filter those out from hundreds of stocks daily?

Step-by-Step Framework to Select BTST Stocks

Let’s go through a 5-part selection process that you can run in less than 15 minutes.

1. Look for Price Breakouts

Start with stocks that have broken a resistance level - preferably on a daily chart. Bullish candles like Marubozu, Bullish Engulfing, or breakout from a narrow consolidation zone work well.

Why? A breakout often signals new momentum - ideal for BTST.

2. Check Volume Spikes

Volume is key confirmation. Use volume filters to spot stocks with 2x or 3x their average volume.
Better if the volume is sustained through the day, not just at open or close.

Why? Volume without price is noise. Price + volume = conviction.

3. Analyze Delivery Percentage

Even for BTST, delivery percentage gives clues. A spike in delivery % (say 60%+) shows that buyers are confident enough to hold.

Why? High delivery = strong hands buying. Adds credibility to the move.

4. Scan for News or Catalysts

Check if the stock has reacted to:

• Earnings results

• Company announcements

• Sector-specific news

• Analyst upgrades

Why? News acts as fuel. If technicals + news align, that’s your high-confidence setup.

5. Sentiment Signals (Advisors, Social Media)

Sometimes the best BTST moves start with popular advisors or Telegram groups highlighting a stock. If multiple sources mention it, check the data, not just the hype.

Why? Herd sentiment, when backed by actual moves, can trigger quick pops.

Tools You Can Use for Filtering

You don’t need 5 screens and premium software to do this. Use:

• Charting Tools (like TradingView) for breakout + volume

• Stock Screeners (like Screener.in, Moneycontrol, Finosauras)

• News Aggregators (like Google Finance, Twitter)

• Finosauras to track advisor sentiment + recommendation trends

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Chasing late movers: If a stock has already spiked 10–15%, don’t blindly jump in.

• Ignoring risk management: Always set a stop-loss. Overnight gaps can hurt.

• Falling for pump-and-dump: Be cautious of sudden spikes in low-volume stocks.

• Too many trades: Don’t go overboard. 1–2 solid setups are better than 5 random bets.
