Time to upgrade FYERS Screeners from "Stone Age" lagging indicators to modern SMC/ICT Order Flow logic

Hey community and FYERS Product Team,

While the FYERS platform has made great strides in charting and execution, the current FIA Screener feels like it’s still living in a dinosaur world. Relying heavily on stone-age lagging technical indicators (like RSIs crossing lines or moving average crossovers) simply doesn’t cut it anymore for professional-quality analysis.

Traders who rely on raw price action, institutional order flow, and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) / Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models cannot build high-probability watchlists with the current toolset. Lagging screens constantly flag false breakouts or late entries because they completely ignore structural liquidity.

I would strongly urge the FYERS programming team to build a modern, professional-grade scanner engine that allows filters based on real-time market structure rather than moving average mathematics.

Specifically, we need the capability to screen for:

  • True Liquidity Sweeps: Identifying when a stock takes out/mops up buy-side or sell-side liquidity at major external swing lows/highs.
  • Market Structure Shifts (MSS) & Break of Structure (BOS): Filtering for strict daily or intraday candle body closes above or below the immediate pre-reversal swing points to validate structural flips.
  • Displacement & Volume Validation: Confirming that the reversal leg shows genuine institutional volume injection (e.g., volume expanding > 1.2x of the 20-day SMA) alongside displacement.
  • Imbalances & Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Tracking the price legs that leave behind clean institutional inefficiencies for premium-to-discount limit orders.

The market has evolved past the era of trading generic retail indicator crossovers. FYERS has the infrastructure to be a pioneer here in India—let’s get a native SMC/ICT scanner built into the platform so we can screen for high-edge institutional setups cleanly.

Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on this, and hopefully, the dev team takes note!

Hi @7VmlpquxbM, thank you for the detailed feedback and suggestions. For screening, we’ve recently launched Smart Screeners, which offer a wider range of data points and metrics to help build more advanced scans.

For indicators such as True Liquidity Sweeps, Market Structure Shifts (MSS), Break of Structure (BOS), and Imbalances/Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), implementing these would require some time and evaluation. Your feedback on adding SMC/ICT-based conditions is duly noted. Thanks again for taking the time to share this.
