Most Active Pre Market

Overview​

This profile highlights industries and themes with heavy pre-market trading activity, focusing on groups with broad participation and elevated total volume share. It filters for real-time clusters of interest where liquidity and early movement are concentrated.

info

This profile detects groups with elevated total volume and widespread pre-market participation. It is optimized for identifying early activity before the regular session begins. Results update continuously and are sorted by Total Volume (%).

Strategy Focus​

  • Detect pre-market leadership groups attracting high interest and flow
  • Prioritize industries with broad participation, not just isolated movers
  • Identify gap-related movement in the context of volume and liquidity
  • Track volume-backed reversals or breakouts forming in early hours
  • Combine with gap and divergence signals to anticipate continuation
  • Build pre-market watchlists focused on liquidity, structure, and momentum

Filters Applied​

This profile applies both volume and participation criteria:

  • Volume 100k+ (%) > 30
  • Total Volume (%) > 2

A group is included only if it has significant overall market volume and at least 30% of companies trading over 100k shares in early hours — ensuring true pre-market activity, not just isolated spikes.

Metrics Used​

Volume Activity & Participation​

  • Total Volume (%): Group’s share of market-wide volume — the primary metric for identifying active groups.
  • Volume 100k+ (%): Percent of companies in the group trading over 100k shares — ensures broad-based activity.
  • Relative Volume: Compares current volume to average — shows urgency and rotation strength.

Group Structure​

  • Industry / Theme: Name of the industry or theme.
  • Tickers: Number of companies in the group.

Pre-Market Price Movement​

  • Change Pre (%): Market-cap-weighted pre-market move — helps identify groups reacting to catalysts or sentiment.

Group Ratings & Trend Context​

  • Group Rating 1 Day: Real-time strength score — shows how pre-market momentum aligns with intraday setup potential.
  • Group Rating 1 Year: Long-term trend — helps distinguish hot new interest vs. established leadership.

Relative Strength Breadth​

  • Rel. Strength 1 Day 90+ (%): Percent of companies showing strong intraday outperformance.
  • Rel. Strength 1 Year 90+ (%): Percent of consistent long-term outperformers — useful for filtering trend-aligned early movers.

Return Context​

  • Return Year to Date (%): Full-year group performance — provides context for the pre-market surge.

Setup & Structural Behavior​

  • Gap Over Prev High (%): Percent of companies gapping above yesterday’s highs — early breakout signal.
  • Gap Under Prev Low (%): Percent gapping below prior lows — potential breakdown watch.
  • Gap Over Resistance (%): Indicates how many companies are breaking above structural resistance pre-market.
  • Gap Under Support (%): Measures breakdowns below support — may trigger early weakness.
  • Tight Range (%): Compression signal — pre-market volume may resolve these setups.

Confirmation & Opportunity Signals​

  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Institutional flow bias — adds directional conviction to early setups.
  • Reports Earnings Within 1 Week: Highlights possible earnings-driven activity.
  • Top Alpha Setups: AI-confirmed trade opportunities within the group — supports prioritization for pre-market execution.
