FEATURES

The MomentumDetector is an intraday market scanning application that continiously scans the U.S. stock market during trading hours. It identifies stocks reaching new intraday highs and lows based on customizable or fine tuned pre-configured screening criteria. The software also generates curated lists of top gapping stocks and leading percentage gainers.

Stock card

Stock candidates matching scanning settings are represented with a card containing all the information to judge if the stock warrants your precious attention and time:

  • Mute: to prevent that stock from showing up in scanning results for the next 30 minutes.
  • Ticker and last price
  • Last minute price movement and average trades per second
  • Current daily volume and float
  • Gap % (changes to % since open during regular trading hours)
  • Easy access to news
  • Each data has a colored background. The darker, the higher the intensity.

Stocks making Day High / lows

The MomentumDetector scanners will scan the entire stock market and look for potential immediately tradable candidates making new day highs or lows.

Candidates responding to the scanners criterias will apear in a chronological list. It is possible to enable an audio notification.

On the image, you can see that in the last minute (identified by the “Just now” bage) two candidates responded to the scanner “Low float stocks making new day highs”. You can see that BTCT traded 54 trades per second on average on the latest minute, which is less than a minute ago (97 trades /s) but still an indication of an intense activity.

lists

Smart stock scanner that lists and displays high-potential gappers and gainers throughout the trading day.

Unlike traditional top gainers lists, this smart scanner implements filtering to surface higher quality trading candidates:

  • Pre-Market: Displays top percentage movers relative to previous day’s CLOSE.
  • Regular Market Hours: Automatically switches to show top gainers from market OPEN.
  • Momentum: Excludes low-activity stocks with no trades in the last minute.
  • Volume: Requires minimum daily trading volume thresholds.
  • Performance: Must show minimum 5% move from previous close.

This combination helps identify the most promising gainers for the day. Traditional lists also available.
