Post Market

Overview​

The Post Market profile tracks how industries and themes behave after the regular session closes. It helps you see where earnings reactions, after-hours price movement, and setup concentration are building, while the market is still repricing news and leadership shifts.

info

This profile activates automatically during post-market hours and highlights after-hours price movement, volume participation, earnings activity, relative strength, and Top Alpha setup concentration based on the latest available data.

Strategy Focus​

  • Monitor after-hours group movement to see where leadership is holding or breaking after the close
  • Spot earnings-driven reactions by watching groups with strong post-market moves and near-term report activity
  • Compare regular-session strength vs post-market follow-through to identify improving or fading themes
  • Track volume-backed rotation using Total Volume (%) and Relative Volume
  • Watch divergence and compression signals that may develop into the next session’s breakout or reversal groups
  • Build overnight review workflows by moving from strong or weak groups into Ticker Screener, Multi-Charts, and Group Viewer

Filters Applied​

This is a default column-only profile. No filters are applied, so all groups stay visible and are sorted by real-time 1-day strength.

Metrics Used​

Group Structure and Identity​

  • Industry / Theme: Identifies the group so you can quickly see which area of the market is moving after hours.
  • Tickers: Shows the number of companies in the group and helps frame how broad the move may be.

Post-Market Movement​

  • Change Post (%): Measures market-cap-weighted price movement after the close and shows where after-hours strength or weakness is developing.
  • Change From Close (%): Shows how the group performed during the regular session, which helps compare daytime strength with the post-market reaction.

Group Ratings and Fundamentals​

  • Group Rating 1 Day: Ranks current group strength using the latest available data and helps surface the strongest or weakest areas of the market.
  • Group Rating 1 Year: Adds long-term context so you can see whether post-market strength is happening in an established leader or a weaker group.
  • EPS Rating: Helps confirm whether the group has stronger earnings quality behind the move.
  • Sales Rating: Adds revenue momentum context and helps identify groups with stronger top-line support.
  • Profit Rating: Helps separate high-quality groups from weaker ones by adding profitability context.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Shows whether institutional behavior has been supportive or negative across the group.

Relative Strength and Momentum​

  • Rel. Strength 1 Day 90+ (%): Shows the percentage of companies in the group with very strong performance today, helping measure internal strength.

Volume and Liquidity​

  • Total Volume (%): Measures how much of the day’s market volume came from the group, helping you see where capital was concentrated.

Price Breakouts​

  • Last Price > Prev. High (%): Shows the percentage of companies above the previous day’s high, helping confirm expanding strength.
  • Last Price < Prev. Low (%): Shows the percentage of companies below the previous day’s low, helping confirm expanding weakness.

Divergence and Compression Signals​

  • Positive RSI Divergence 14D (%): Highlights groups where more companies are showing bullish divergence and possible strengthening momentum.
  • Negative RSI Divergence 14D (%): Highlights groups where more companies are showing bearish divergence and possible weakening momentum.
  • Tight Range (%): Shows how many companies finished in compressed ranges, which can matter when planning the next session.

Strategy Metrics​

  • Top Alpha Setups: Counts the number of high-conviction MarketAlpha strategy setups inside the group, helping you focus on groups with stronger setup concentration after the close.

Results are sorted by Group Rating 1 Day in descending order, which keeps the strongest real-time groups at the top.
