How can I use the Screener Symbols trigger node in FYERS Automate?

The Screener symbols trigger node lets you dynamically fetch symbols from a predefined FYERS screener when your automation runs. You can then use those symbols for additional trigger checks or pass them directly to a Place order action.


How does the Screener symbols trigger work?

  1. Add the Screener symbols trigger node to your automation.
  2. Select the required Screener Category, Screener, and the configurations available for that screener, and click Apply.
  3. Connect the node to the next step in your automation.
  4. To place orders in the dynamically fetched symbols, connect the flow to a Place order action and select Place simple order as the Order type.
  5. In the Symbol field of the Place simple order node, use the symbol output from the Screener symbols node.
Note: For orders based on symbols dynamically fetched from the Screener symbols node, you must use Place simple order. Place options order and Place futures order cannot be used for this dynamic instrument selection.

The screener data is refreshed every 1 minute. When the automation reaches the Screener symbols node, it takes a snapshot of the symbols available in the selected screener at that time and passes them to the next node in the workflow.

Example

Suppose your automation is scheduled to run at 10:00 AM and uses a predefined screener.

At 10:00 AM, the Screener symbols node fetches the instruments available in that screener at that instance. You can then:

  • Run additional trigger checks on the fetched symbols, such as price-based conditions like day high/day low breakouts, VWAP checks, moving average crossovers, RSI, MACD, or other technical indicator-based conditions.
  • If no additional trigger check is required, the fetched symbols can also be passed directly to a Place simple order action.

This allows the automation to work with a dynamically selected set of instruments instead of requiring you to specify individual symbols in advance.

What if the screener results change after the symbols are fetched?

Each automation run continues with the snapshot fetched when the Screener symbols node was executed. Subsequent screener refreshes do not change the symbols already passed to the next step of that run.
