How the Change (15 min, $) filter works
Key point
The "Change (15 min, $)" filter in stock trading refers to a technical analysis tool used to identify stocks or assets that have experienced a significant change in price over a fifteen-minute time frame. This filter focuses on measuring the price movement of a stock within a relatively short duration, specifically fifteen minutes, and identifies stocks that have experienced a notable increase or decrease in price during that period.
Here's how the "Change (15 min, $)" filter typically works:
- Definition of Change: Traders specify the criteria for what constitutes a significant change in price over fifteen minutes. For example, they may set the filter to identify stocks that have increased or decreased in price by a certain percentage or amount within the fifteen-minute time frame.
- Real-Time Monitoring: The filter continuously monitors the stock market in real-time, analyzing price data for individual stocks over fifteen-minute intervals.
- Identification of Significant Changes: When the filter detects stocks that meet the predefined criteria for a significant change in price over fifteen minutes, it generates an alert or notification, signaling potential trading opportunities.
Change (15 min, $) filter settings
Example
The settings of each Trade Ideas filter are defined in the Window Specific Filters Tab located in the Configuration Window of your Alert or Top List (Screener) window. These filters select stocks based on how much they have moved in the last 15 minutes. For example, you can set the minimum move to $0.50 to see only stocks which have gone up at least 50 cents in the last fifteen minutes.
Example
Combine these to create a range. For example, set the maximum to $0.07 and the minimum to $-0.07 to see only stocks which have moved less than 7 cents in either direction in the last fifteen minutes. This will find stocks which are easier to trade because they are temporarily consolidating. This can help reduce slippage.
These filters work before, during, and after regular trading hours.
