Setups - Group Leaders Today

Overview​

The Setups - Group Leaders Today profile highlights long setups in stocks that belong to the strongest industries or themes of the current session. It narrows the list to names where individual setup quality and group momentum are working in the same direction.

Every result must also pass liquidity, volatility, and strategy-quality filters, so the profile stays focused on stronger continuation candidates rather than every stock inside a leading group.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to surface long setups within today's strongest industry or theme groups. It can be used across all market sessions.

Strategy Focus​

  • Surface long setups inside today's strongest groups rather than reviewing leading stocks one by one
  • Focus on names with favorable risk/reward and fewer barriers on the way to the projected upside target
  • Prioritize liquid, volatile stocks that can follow through when group momentum stays strong
  • Combine individual setup quality with industry or theme leadership to strengthen conviction
  • Reduce noise by filtering for long-biased setups instead of every stock in a strong group
  • Build watchlists around group-backed continuation setups with real-time momentum behind them

Filters Applied​

This profile applies multiple layers of filters to keep the results focused on long setups supported by real-time group leadership:

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Ensures the stock is active enough to support clean entries and follow-through.
  • Volume All Hours ≥ 50K OR Relative Volume ≥ 2: Requires either meaningful total activity or unusually strong activity relative to normal levels.
  • AI - Alpha Strategy = Long: Requires MarketAlpha to detect a long-biased setup.
  • AI - Risk/Reward ≥ 2, AI - Path to Target ≤ 1: Keeps only setups with strong upside potential relative to risk and few barriers between price and target.
  • Industry Rating 1 Day ≥ 90 OR Theme Rating 1 Day ≥ 90: Requires the stock to belong to one of today's strongest groups.

These combined filters keep the profile centered on long setups backed by both individual setup quality and strong group momentum.

Metrics Used​

Strategy Metrics​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Shows whether MarketAlpha currently identifies the setup as long-biased.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Measures the projected upside relative to the stop.
  • AI - Path to Target: Counts how many important barriers remain between price and the projected upside target.

Group Leadership and Price Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Core group-strength metrics used to confirm that the stock belongs to one of today's leaders.
  • Change Pre Market (%): Adds context around early price behavior before the regular session.
  • Change From Close (%): Helps show whether the stock is still participating in the current session's strength.
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Adds reversal or continuation context where relevant.
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Adds bullish pattern confirmation.
  • Tight Range: Helps identify setups where compression may lead to further upside expansion.

Volume and Liquidity​

  • Volume All Hours: Confirms participation across all sessions.
  • Relative Volume: Helps show whether the move is supported by stronger-than-normal activity.
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the most liquid and actively traded names near the top.

Broader Relative Strength Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add longer-term group context behind the setup.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help compare short-term action with the broader trend.

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite view of overall technical and fundamental quality.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help show whether stronger business performance also supports the setup.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Tracks institutional flow and can reinforce upside pressure.
  • 52 Week High (%): Shows how close the stock is to its yearly high, helping frame breakout potential.
  • Next Earnings In Days: Adds timing context around possible catalyst risk.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to keep the most liquid and active group-backed long setups at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Find long setups inside today's strongest industries or themes
  • Focus on group-backed names with cleaner upside structure and stronger reward-to-risk
  • Monitor continuation candidates where both the stock and its group are moving together
  • Build watchlists of liquid leaders instead of scanning every strong sector manually
  • Strengthen long-side review with group leadership, volume confirmation, and strategy metrics
  • Use Multi-Charts to validate price structure, participation, and alignment across strong groups
