What "in play" really means

A stock is in play when the market is paying attention to it right now: volume is well above normal, the range is wider than usual, and there is usually a reason behind it. That combination is what gives a day trader something to work with intraday.

The opposite is a stock drifting on light volume with no catalyst. It might be a fine long-term hold, but there is nothing there to trade today. In play is a statement about now, not about the company.

How to find stocks in play

The dependable early signal is relative volume (RVOL): current volume divided by the average for that exact minute of the day. When a name comes into play the volume jumps first, so ranking every U.S. stock by RVOL surfaces the in-play names as it happens.

This scanner does that 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, and day trading stocks frames it for the intraday trader.

Questions

Frequently asked

What does "in play" mean in trading?
A stock is "in play" when it is trading with unusual attention and volume right now, usually on a fresh catalyst, so it moves more than its normal daily range. Day traders focus on in-play names because that is where the movement and the liquidity are for the session, and a name already in motion is easier to trade than a quiet one.
How do you know which stocks are in play?
The clearest tell is relative volume (RVOL): current volume divided by the stock's own average for that exact minute of the day. When a stock comes into play its volume jumps first, before the move is obvious on the chart. Ranking every U.S. stock by RVOL surfaces the in-play names as they start, which is what this scanner does live.
What puts a stock in play?
A catalyst: earnings, a news headline, an SEC filing, an analyst rating change, or a sympathy move within a hot sector. The volume confirms the catalyst is being acted on rather than ignored. Each ticker on the board links to the likely reason it is moving so you are not trading blind.
Are in-play stocks good for day trading?
They are exactly what most day traders scan for, because movement and liquidity are the two things a day trade needs. They are also volatile: what comes into play fast can leave just as fast. This scanner flags attention and volume, not a direction, and it is information, not advice.
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 name coming into play pre-market before the 9:30 open and an after-hours mover 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.
