Stocks Moving Fast Right Now

Key point

Searching for a momentum stock scanner or a fast moving stock screener? In Trade Ideas, this is Streaming Alerts: speed is measured against each stock's own volatility, so a quiet stock and a wild one are judged fairly.

Streaming Alerts push each alert the moment it fires, the Price vs Time filters are checked at that same moment, and Top Lists can sort by them.

Key point

Price vs Time measures how far price moves in how much time. Running up means a stock is trading up much faster than expected for its volatility; a consolidation is the opposite, price changing significantly less than normal. The category spans five running-up and running-down versions (from no confirmation to volume confirmed), NR7 and wide range bars, consecutive candles and N-minute price change filters.

How Trade Ideas finds it: Running Up Now Alert (RUN): by default, the running up now alert will appear when a stock price is trading up much faster than expected. on the Change (5 min, %) Filter (PUp5) page, you can set the minimum move to 10% to see only stocks which have gone up at least 10% in the last five minutes, and set the maximum to 10% and the minimum to -10% to see only stocks which have moved less than 10% in either direction in the last five minutes.
