How to read this list

Filters are grouped by what they find. Each row is one filter, and each chip is a unit ($, %, Bars) or a timeframe (1 min to 1 year) that opens that filter's own page with how it works, its settings, and the alerts to pair it with. Almost every filter also works in Top Lists. Each category links to the matching Streaming Alerts. To run any of them live, see Trade Ideas pricing.

Filter index FAQ

How are the Trade Ideas filters grouped?

By what they find, in 12 categories: Price & Change Today, Change Over Time, Highs & Lows, Range & Volatility, Volume & Trade Activity, Bid, Ask & Order Book, Moving Averages, VWAP & Pivots, Indicators & Ratings, Market Context, Options Activity and Fundamentals. Each row is one filter, and each chip is a unit or timeframe that opens that filter's own page.

Which filters find gap up and gap down stocks?

The three Gap filters in Price & Change Today. Gap (%) (GUP) measures the gap as a percent of the stock's price, Gap ($) (GUD) measures it in dollars, and Gap (Bars) (GUR) scales each gap by the stock's volatility. Set Gap (%) to a minimum of 5 for 5%+ gap ups.

Which filters find RSI oversold or overbought stocks?

The RSI filters in Indicators & Ratings read RSI on 1, 2, 5, 15 and 60 min charts and on the daily chart. RSI runs from 0 to 100: a max of 30 finds oversold stocks, and a min of 70 finds overbought ones.

What is the difference between a filter and an alert?

A filter keeps only the stocks that match a number you set, such as price, float or relative volume. Add filters to a Streaming Alert window to narrow what the scanner sends you, or use them in a Top List (Screener), the Trade Ideas stock screener, to rank and sort stocks. Each category on this page links to the matching alerts.

Where are the Time of Day and Same-Alert Count Today filters?

They describe the alert rather than the stock, so they sit in a note under the index. Time Of Day (Time) is the number of minutes after the open when an alert fires, and Same-Alert Count Today (Count) is how many times the same alert type has fired for a symbol today. The count resets at midnight.
