Pre Market

Overview​

The Pre Market profile surfaces real-time data on active tickers and directional setups before the regular session begins. It highlights pre-market gaps, volume activity, and AI-detected structure — all without applying filters.

info

This profile activates automatically in the Ticker Screener during pre-market hours and is designed to support open-ended scanning, chart review, and early watchlist preparation.

Strategy Focus​

  • Identify tickers with directional setups forming before the open using AI signals
  • Detect gap-and-go or gap-fade potential with structural gap analysis
  • Monitor volume strength to flag early institutional or news-driven activity
  • Gauge short-term sector momentum using intraday group ratings
  • Spot trend reversals or compression using RSI divergence and tight range
  • Build custom watchlists or alerts using unfiltered pre-market context

Filters Applied​

This profile is intentionally unfiltered to give you full control over sorting, scanning, and filtering. It supports discretionary workflows, saved filters, and multi-chart workflows without limiting what appears.

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Highlights long or short bias based on real-time price structure and trend behavior, helping you focus on setups with directional intent before the open
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Estimates reward-to-risk ratio for the setup, guiding focus toward more efficient or asymmetric pre-market opportunities
  • AI - Path to Target: Shows how much structural resistance/support remains, helping prioritize setups with minimal obstacles to continuation

Volume, Liquidity, and Activity​

  • Volume Pre: Measures total pre-market volume to identify which tickers are seeing real participation
  • Relative Volume: Compares current activity to typical pre-market volume, helping detect abnormal early movement
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Ranks tickers by capital flow to bring the most liquid and watched names to the top

Price Action and Structural Signals​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Captures pre-market price change versus yesterday’s close, providing immediate visibility into movers and direction; also highlights whether price has already cleared key resistance or support zones before the open
  • Gap to Last High/Low (%): Flags whether the current open is breaking above the prior high or below the prior low, signaling potential gap setups or reversals
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Detects where price is diverging from RSI, highlighting areas of weakening momentum or trend exhaustion before the open
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Counts technical patterns that align directionally, offering confirmation for clean, single-bias setups
  • Tight Range: Identifies recent price compression that may be ready to break on volume and structure alignment

Sector and Theme Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Tracks which groups are leading in the pre-market, helping you align setups with real-time sector momentum
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Adds a long-term view of structural leadership that can support pre-market breakout conviction
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Shows both short- and long-term performance context to validate trend quality

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite signal of overall strength across technicals, earnings, and group trends
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Highlight strong fundamental growth, useful for spotting names that may sustain moves
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Reflects institutional activity that may fuel follow-through after the open
  • 52 Week High (%): Indicates proximity to yearly highs, useful for identifying breakout positioning
  • Next Earnings In Days: Displays upcoming earnings timing, useful for managing event risk around early movers

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending). This brings the highest-capital-flow tickers to the top, helping you focus on stocks with the greatest visibility, liquidity, and real-time relevance during the pre-market window.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build a watchlist of early movers before the market opens
  • Identify clean gap-and-go or gap-fade setups using price and structure
  • Track earnings reactions or news-related spikes with volume and AI direction
  • Highlight sector flows or theme activity to guide macro-aligned setups
  • Catch early reversal setups based on RSI divergence or compression
  • Prepare for the open by combining AI strategy, volume, and group strength
