Your query is **stock’s daily close is above its 200-day EMA AND today’s first 15-minute candle was green.**

You’re currently scanning only **NFO stocks (F&O stocks)**. The query itself looks correct, but it appears that no NFO stock satisfies both conditions.

Please try the same query on the **Nifty 500** universe and check whether it returns any results.

@vinay_kumar Please note that for the 15-minute timeframe, the supported lookback period is limited to 3 months of data. Since a 200 EMA on the 1-day timeframe requires more historical data than what is available within this period, the indicator cannot be calculated, and consequently, no stocks are returned in the scanner.

As a workaround, you can try changing the EMA period to 50 and check the scanner results.
