All this is possible if you follow few stocks regularly and stick to those stocks.

If we select different stocks daily doing these calculations are difficult. Most data vendors are offering these analytical tools for premium. The same can be done by Zerodha too for a fee.

I can surely say that the indicators provided charting platform is completely waste, because ALL the indicators are just mathematical transformation of price (OHLC + V) & completely dependent on timeframe & period selected. How can you trust them?
