Searching for a NYSE imbalance scanner or a market-on-close imbalance screener? In Trade Ideas, this is Streaming Alerts: the imbalance and specialist alerts fire on listed stocks only.

Streaming Alerts push each Listed alert the moment it fires.

Key point

The Listed category groups six alerts that depend on exchange-listed (NYSE and AMEX) market structure: the NYSE buy and sell imbalance alerts, market crossed up and down, and trading above or below the specialist. A buy imbalance means more market-on-close orders are trying to buy a stock than sell it.

How Trade Ideas finds it: NYSE Buy Imbalance Alert (NYSEBI): by default, the NYSE buy imbalance alert will appear when there are more people trying to buy a stock than are trying sell the stock. Trading Above Specialist Alert (TRAS): by default, the trading above specialist alert appears when a print is above the specialist's offer.

Real Streaming Alerts: 30-minute highs and lows.
