Liquid Pre Market Tickers

Overview​

The Liquid Pre Market profile filters for high-quality pre-market candidates by applying volume, liquidity, and volatility thresholds. Unlike open-ended pre-market scans, this profile returns only those tickers that demonstrate strong trading activity, narrow spreads, and consistent intraday behavior — improving clarity and execution for early-session planning.

info

This profile is designed for use during pre-market hours and updates continuously to reflect real-time liquidity, price, and structural changes.

Strategy Focus​

  • Surface liquid, active pre-market tickers with tight spreads and sufficient volume
  • Exclude illiquid or thinly traded names that often produce noise or unreliable movement
  • Ensure candidates exhibit consistent behavior through verified volatility thresholds
  • Ideal for early watchlist building, gap trade identification, and clean volume scouting
  • Combine with other structural or directional filters to refine pre-market strategy
  • Useful as a pre-screening layer before diving into more discretionary chart review

Filters Applied​

This profile applies strict filters to ensure pre-market tickers meet liquidity and volatility requirements:

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, Bid-Ask Spread (%) ≤ 1, Volume Pre ≥ 50K: Ensures that only highly liquid tickers with minimal execution slippage and substantial pre-market volume are included.
  • ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Confirms that tickers have enough consistent movement to support clean setups and follow-through.

These filters help eliminate noise and highlight pre-market tickers with real participation and tradability.

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​

Tickers are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending), ensuring the most actively traded and institutionally visible names are surfaced first. This improves reliability and focus when scanning during pre-market hours.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build clean pre-market watchlists from liquid and active names
  • Spot strong early movers that also meet execution and volatility thresholds
  • Avoid unreliable low-volume or wide-spread tickers before the open
  • Combine with AI metrics or group context to prioritize candidates
  • Scan for volume-backed setups with pre-market momentum
  • Layer with Multi-Charts or custom filters for deeper structural review
