Pre Market

Overview​

The Pre Market profile is designed for the hours before the regular session opens. It gives you a live view of active tickers, early gap behavior, pre-market volume, and AI-selected setup direction so you can sort through the noise and identify which names deserve attention at the bell.

info

This profile updates in real time and activates automatically in the Ticker Screener during pre-market hours. It applies no fixed filters, making it ideal for open-ended scanning, early watchlist building, and pre-open chart review.

Strategy Focus​

  • Find early movers with meaningful price and volume activity before the regular session begins
  • Identify gap-and-go, gap-fade, and pre-open continuation setups using price and structure
  • Use AI - Alpha Strategy, AI - Risk/Reward, and AI - Path to Target to compare setup quality before the open
  • Track pre-market participation to separate real interest from thin, low-quality movement
  • Align early setups with stronger industries, themes, and relative strength context
  • Prepare clean watchlists for Multi-Charts, saved filters, and regular-session execution

Filters Applied​

None.

This profile is intentionally unfiltered so you can shape the pre-market view around your own process rather than starting with a narrow preset.

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Shows the current long or short setup bias based on live pre-market structure and trend behavior.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Helps compare reward efficiency before the open so you can focus on better asymmetric setups.
  • AI - Path to Target: Measures how many barriers remain between the current price and the projected target, making it easier to prioritize cleaner setups.

Pre-Market Volume and Activity​

  • Volume Pre: Shows how much trading activity is already taking place before the open.
  • Relative Volume: Helps identify names trading far above their normal pre-market participation.
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the most liquid and actively watched names at the top of the profile.

Price Action and Gap Structure​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Measures the move relative to the prior close and helps identify early directional pressure.
  • Gap to Last High/Low (%): Shows whether price is opening above the previous high or below the previous low, which is useful for identifying aggressive gap setups and failed moves.
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Helps surface reversal risk or hidden momentum shifts before the open.
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Highlights names with clean directional pattern alignment.
  • Tight Range: Flags recent compression that may be ready to expand when the regular session begins.

Group Strength and Relative Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Show which groups are already active and leading in the pre-market.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add broader group context to support stronger continuation ideas.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help judge whether the stock already has both immediate and longer-term performance support.

Fundamentals and Event Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Adds a combined view of technical and fundamental strength.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help identify stronger companies that may hold pre-market moves more effectively.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Tracks institutional pressure that may support follow-through after the open.
  • 52 Week High (%): Helps identify names already positioned near major breakout levels.
  • Next Earnings In Days: Adds event-risk context around early movers.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to bring the most liquid and relevant pre-market names to the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build a pre-open watchlist of liquid movers with real participation
  • Identify gap-and-go or gap-fade candidates using price movement, structure, and AI direction
  • Compare setups in Multi-Charts before the bell to focus on the strongest names
  • Use relative volume and dollar volume rank to avoid thin, low-quality pre-market action
  • Align trades with industry and theme momentum already visible before the open
  • Prepare saved filters and regular-session plans using pre-market structure, group context, and event timing
