What is momentum trading?

Momentum trading is buying (or shorting) a stock that is already moving and riding the continuation, rather than guessing a turn in advance. The idea is simple: a stock with real volume behind a move tends to keep going in the short term more often than a quiet one does.

The hard part is catching it early. By the time a big move is obvious on the chart, much of it is gone. The volume gets loud first, which is why traders watch it before price.

How to find momentum stocks

The dependable early signal is relative volume (RVOL): current volume divided by the average volume for that exact minute of the day. An RVOL of 3x is three times the normal pace. Ranking by RVOL surfaces the names genuinely in motion right now rather than just the biggest companies, which always trade the most shares.

This scanner does that across every U.S. stock in real time. For the mechanics of the ratio and the level 1 to 5 breakdown, the RVOL scanner is the same live data explained from the relative-volume angle.

Questions

Frequently asked

What are momentum stocks?
Momentum stocks are names moving sharply in one direction right now, usually on a jump in volume. Day traders watch them because a stock already in motion, with real volume behind it, is more likely to keep moving in the short term than a quiet one. The move is what matters, not the company size, so momentum names are often small and mid caps reacting to a fresh catalyst.
How do you find momentum stocks in real time?
The earliest, most reliable signal is relative volume (RVOL): current volume divided by the stock's own average for that exact minute of the day. When a stock starts running, its volume spikes before the move is obvious on a chart. Ranking every U.S. stock by RVOL surfaces the movers as they begin, not after they have already run. This scanner does exactly that, live.
What makes a good momentum stock for day trading?
Three things line up on the strongest setups: a catalyst (news, earnings, an SEC filing), volume well above normal to confirm the move is real, and a clean chart with room to run. Volume is the confirmation. High RVOL on a fresh catalyst is the combination momentum traders look for, which is why this scanner leads with the volume signal and each ticker links to its catalyst.
Are momentum stocks risky?
Yes. What moves fast up can move fast down, and low-float momentum names are especially volatile. This scanner flags momentum and volatility, not a direction, and it is information, not advice. Your entry, stop and exit decide the outcome. Know why a stock is moving before you act on it.
Does this cover pre-market and after-hours?
Yes. Scanning runs from 4:00 AM ET through 8:00 PM ET, so you can catch a pre-market momentum gapper before the 9:30 open and after-hours momentum on an earnings reaction once the close is in.
How much does it cost?
The scanner is free to view. New accounts also start with 5 free premium days of the full live dashboard, real-time alerts and WebSocket delivery, with no credit card required at signup. After that, premium runs at an early-access price of $24.99/month.
