Relative Strength Today

Overview​

The Relative Strength Today profile highlights tickers that are outperforming during the current session, based on their 1-day relative strength rating. It filters for liquid, volatile, and actively traded names that are currently among the top relative performers.

This setup is ideal for surfacing momentum leaders during the session — especially those aligned with strong group trends or volume behavior. When paired with structural AI metrics, it helps confirm setups backed by both strength and participation.

info

This profile updates in real time and only includes tickers with RS 1D ≥ 90, strong volume, and acceptable volatility. It’s designed to spotlight high-performing stocks during the active session.

Strategy Focus​

  • Track top intraday performers based on real-time relative strength scoring
  • Surface liquid names showing sustained leadership versus the broader market
  • Combine price strength with volume filters to confirm actionable momentum
  • Identify continuation setups with AI structure and risk/reward validation
  • Narrow large watchlists to only the strongest performers today
  • Monitor outperformers across industries, themes, and sectors for trend alignment

Filters Applied​

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Ensures all results are liquid and volatile enough to support clean entries
  • Volume All Hours ≥ 50K AND Relative Volume ≥ 2: Prioritizes active tickers with real-time volume support
  • Relative Strength 1 Day ≥ 90: Limits results to only today’s top-performing names relative to the broader market

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Detects real-time directional setups, helping confirm whether today's high relative strength aligns with AI-identified long or short bias
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Calculates setup quality based on projected upside vs downside — often elevated in high RS names due to clean momentum structure
  • AI - Path to Target: Measures how many resistance zones remain between price and target — strong RS names typically show minimal path obstruction, supporting momentum follow-through

Volume, Liquidity, and Activity​

  • Volume All Hours: Confirms active participation throughout the session — essential for validating strength in real-time
  • Relative Volume: Indicates whether today's outperformers are trading significantly above their average volume, reinforcing conviction behind the move
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Ranks by capital flow to keep the spotlight on high-liquidity, high-visibility leaders with execution-ready setups

Price Action and Structural Signals​

  • Change Pre Market (%), Change From Close (%): Measure the intraday and early session price strength — common in tickers with RS 1D ≥ 90 that break through resistance or trend higher throughout the day
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Surfaces potential continuation or exhaustion signals by comparing price and RSI — used to evaluate whether strength is sustainable or overextended
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Flags directional technical patterns (e.g., breakouts, flags, trend continuation) that often support sustained relative strength
  • Tight Range: Identifies setups where recent compression is followed by strong directional break — common in early-stage strength moves

Sector and Theme Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Provide real-time group and theme leadership — helpful for confirming whether today’s leaders are part of a broader sector move
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add macro context — if short-term strength aligns with long-term group leadership, it increases trend durability
  • Relative Strength 1 Year: Used to assess if today’s RS leaders are also multi-month trend leaders or new breakouts from lagging positions

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Captures a composite view of technical and fundamental strength — consistently high in high-quality RS names
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Offer insight into the fundamental backing behind today’s outperformance — strong ratings often support sustained moves
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Measures recent institutional flow — bullish scores confirm conviction behind the relative strength move
  • 52 Week High (%): Indicates proximity to or breakouts above prior highs — a common trait in RS leaders breaking into new territory
  • Next Earnings In Days: Displays timing for the next report — helpful for managing exposure around event-driven catalysts that may impact RS momentum

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to highlight the most liquid and relevant tickers trading with confirmed strength today.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Validate watchlist candidates with confirmed RS + RVOL filters
  • Use in breakout scans to confirm price and group participation
  • Monitor intraday trends for follow-through or reversal opportunities
  • Combine with AI metrics to spot high-conviction directional trades
