Regular Market

Overview​

The Regular Market profile tracks real-time group leadership, participation, and breakout behavior while the session is active. It helps you see where momentum is building, where breakouts or breakdowns are broadening, and which industries or themes are producing the strongest setup concentration during the trading day.

info

This profile activates automatically during regular market hours and highlights intraday price movement, breakout confirmation, volume participation, divergence signals, and Top Alpha setup concentration across industries and themes.

Strategy Focus​

  • Track intraday leadership and weakness across industries and themes using real-time group ratings and price movement
  • Monitor breakouts and breakdowns through previous highs and lows, plus post-open resistance and support clears
  • Measure participation and flow with Relative Volume and Total Volume (%) to confirm whether the move has breadth
  • Spot momentum clusters through Rel. Strength 1 Day 90+ (%) and Top Alpha Setups
  • Compare fundamental strength with EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating, and Accumulation/Distribution Score
  • Build intraday decision workflows by moving from broad group strength into Ticker Screener, Multi-Charts, and Group Viewer

Filters Applied​

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