Price action screeners help you identify trading opportunities based purely on how prices move in the market. Instead of using complex indicators, these screeners focus on price behaviour—such as sharp moves, breakouts, gaps, or reversals—to highlight active and interesting stocks.
These screeners automatically scan the market during trading hours and surface stocks that are showing unusual or meaningful price movement. This makes it easier to spot opportunities without manually tracking charts throughout the day.
Each price action screener is built on predefined rules related to price movement. When a stock meets those rules, it appears in the screener results. If the price behaviour changes and no longer matches the conditions, the stock is automatically removed.
Because these screeners react to live market data, the results are dynamic and can change frequently. This helps you stay aligned with current market activity rather than relying on outdated information.
Price action screeners are especially useful if you want to:
These screeners are commonly used by intraday and short-term traders, but they can also help investors understand where market activity is concentrated.
| Situation | What it means |
|---|---|
| No stocks appear in the screener | This means no stocks currently meet the price conditions. Results may appear once market activity increases. |
| Stocks keep appearing and disappearing | Price action screeners update in real time. Changes reflect live price movement. |
| Market is closed | Screener results remain static outside market hours and update again when trading resumes. |
