Its easy to find the stock that move the highest % or volume but i want to find a way to see which stocks?

Question

move the most $. I know GOOG, AAPL, RIMM can move $20 or mre a day but where's the list of ALL these money movers? I much rather buy fewer shares that move $ than thousands of shares that move high % but low dollars. Just my style, i scalp these stocks getting in and out when they move. Thanks

Answer 1

Investor's Business Daily lists this information every day, every issue

Answer 2

That is why you make money, you research better than the next. If it was easy others would be doing it too.

Watch that margin...it drops faster than it goes up!

Answer 3

Your broker may be able to help you. I can do exactly what you're describing on my trading platform (ThinkOrSwim). I can sort lists of standard stocks (S&P500, S&P100, QQQQ's, indices, sectors, industries, etc.) &/or specify & sort my criteria by volume, price, volume, volume difference, percentage change, option action.  I can (as an example), say I want only stocks whose price is above $x*x.xx but less tha $x*x.xx, with a volume requirement & several others with a "range" directed by me.  I can even sort by volitility.

I can add alerts which can be driven by volume, price, and pecific chart patterns (based on the previous sorts/watch lists).

The top rated (by Barron's) "trader" platforms can probably do this. Check out;

ThinkOrSwim (my favorite)

TradeStation

InteractiveBrokers

Answer 4

Most of the movement on the NYSE has been 1%to 1.5% for the last couple of years average per day almost across the board.

The kinda volitility your seeking will normally occur in the forex money market.

Price Water house has a good program for refining the search for the information your seeking though I don't believe you will do well at using it the market is stagnat with nothing much new croping up in the way of invention or consolidation, way to much debt to carry forward.

Answer 5

It sould more like you are 15 years old trying to talk a bunch of smack.

Why not just use your stock account, if your moving the numbers you say, then you should be able to find that info on your account page along with al the other research info.

Answer 6

For a more robust screen...

Check out www.stockcharts.com

A lot of their data is free for use. If you want more in depth access, they offer a multitude of subscription plans. Their "stuff" is best on the street in my opinion. I love the ability to customize screens, annotate charts, and save pretty much anything I do for easy future access.

For your particular need, n the screener, you can change parameters to search by price to get the larger issues (more range price wise), search by volume (i'm sure you don't want very illiquid issues to scalp), etc....

And off the top of my head for active issues with range: For Steel (X, CLF, MT, MTL, AKS), For Energy (ANR, SLB, PDO), other names (MON, MOS, POT, CF, FLR CLR, IPI, MA, GOOG, AAPL, RIMM, CME, ICE, NYX, NMX, GS, HK, BIDU, etc).....these usually have really heavy ranges

Answer 7

Are you asking for a stock pic, or a company to assist you with your research?  

Ameritrade and Scott trade are both good trade assistants.  And as for a stock, that is a very personal decision.  If you would have bought FNM 3 or 4 days ago, you would have made tons of money.  I like MON and DNR, but I am not a day trader.  I am more of a monthly trader.  Hehe!

Answer 8

Sorry my answer might be a little useless. But I had read somewhere that NASDAQ stocks are generally more volatile and move around more during the day.

Answer 9

Try this

http://www.easy-forex.com/Gateway.aspx?g...

With 1% dolar or Euro up or down (it depend on  long or short position ) you will double your money.

But its exactly the same when it goes down. High risk market.

But you can do it with mini account and lot of small trades. Don't be in a hurry.

I hope that helps

Answer 10

Look on the left side of the screen.  Price advances and price declines.

Answer 11

You scalp 40 trades per day and you have no idea how to find high volatility stocks?

Answer 13

I'm sure you make lots & lots of money with your magical system, but has it ever occured to you that a single share of ABC at $100 & moving up $10 is exactly the same amount of money  as 100 shares of XYZ at $1 moving up 10 cents a share?  If you buy round lots instead of odd lots, the commisions are lower....

Answer 14

Day trading is a bad idea. You will lose money very fast.

Answer 15

You can find them in yahoo and bloomberg.

Beware your just asking to lose alot of money fast.
