Liquid Post Market Tickers

Overview​

The Liquid Post Market profile highlights liquid and volatile tickers that are actively trading after the close. Unlike unfiltered post-market views, this profile applies key criteria — including volume, spread, and volatility — to focus on tradable symbols that are likely to offer real price discovery and follow-through.

info

This profile is designed for use during post-market hours and updates continuously to surface only high-quality tickers with confirmed after-hours participation and tradability.

Strategy Focus​

  • Spot liquid after-hours tickers with strong volume and tight spreads
  • Focus on stocks with consistent volatility and clean price behavior
  • Remove noise from low-volume or thinly traded names
  • Useful for building post-close watchlists or gauging overnight sentiment
  • Combine with AI metrics or volume filters to identify strong continuation setups
  • Provides a filtered, actionable starting point for extended hours review

Filters Applied​

This profile applies filters to ensure that only tradable and structurally sound tickers appear:

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, Bid-Ask Spread (%) ≤ 1, Volume Post ≥ 50K: Ensures strong after-hours activity with minimal slippage, sufficient volume, and reliable execution quality.
  • ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Confirms the stock has consistent, reliable movement patterns — important for extended session entries or planning.

These combined filters highlight real post-market participation while avoiding unreliable, thin setups.

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Highlights directional bias (Long or Short) based on evolving price action and structure after the close
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Assesses setup quality based on risk/reward dynamics, useful for gauging opportunity viability after hours
  • AI - Path to Target: Measures remaining support or resistance zones toward the target — ideal for spotting clean continuation moves overnight

Volume, Liquidity, and Activity​

  • Volume All Hours: Total volume traded across pre-market, regular, and post-market sessions — used to validate after-hours participation
  • Relative Volume: Compares current volume against historical norms to detect abnormal activity in the post-market window
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Ranks tickers by capital flow to bring high-interest and tradable symbols to the top

Price Action and Structural Signals​

  • Change From Close (%): Tracks price movement since the last regular session close and helps flag continuation or fade setups after strong days
  • Change Post Market (%): Shows the percentage move from the close to the last post-market trade, with added context based on whether price has cleared the session high or low
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Detects trend weakening or reversal potential, useful when post-close moves conflict with prior momentum
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Flags clean directional alignment across major technical patterns, aiding confirmation in lower-volume sessions
  • Tight Range: Surfaces compressed setups that may expand into the next session after volatility contraction

Sector and Theme Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Reveal which groups led during the regular session, offering context for post-close moves
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Highlight long-term group leadership, supporting setup conviction for follow-through
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Track both short- and long-term relative performance to assess trend durability

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite strength score across fundamentals and technicals, often influencing earnings-based moves
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Highlight companies with strong underlying results, useful for interpreting earnings reactions
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Indicates institutional activity that may continue or unwind after the close
  • 52 Week High (%): Measures breakout proximity, valuable for identifying extended-session continuation setups
  • Next Earnings In Days: Tracks timing of upcoming earnings reports — essential for gauging overnight risk or positioning

Default Sorting Logic​

Tickers are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending), helping surface the most liquid, actively watched names trading in post-market hours. This maximizes visibility into actionable tickers during a lower-volume session.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Quickly build a filtered watchlist of liquid after-hours movers
  • Spot meaningful price reactions to news or earnings after the bell
  • Avoid low-quality post-market setups with wide spreads or low volume
  • Monitor high-volume continuation setups that may carry into the next session
  • Combine with AI metrics or RSI divergence to confirm clean structural plays
  • Use alongside the default Post Market profile for layered scanning
