EVERY VIEW EXPLAINED
What each view is for, in plain language
The demo above shows one view at a time. Here is the whole set.
Morning Gappers
Open in demo- Overnight news, earnings and premarket participation leave some tickers opening well away from the previous close. This view collects those names ahead of the bell so the premarket hour becomes a review rather than a scramble. Each row carries the gap, the share float, the volume behind the move, and any catalyst headline attached to it — usually enough to decide whether a name is worth marking levels on before the open. It is a starting point for your own research, not a list of trades. The morning gapper workflow
Low-Float Momentum
Open in demo- A small share float can make an ordinary amount of buying look extraordinary. This view puts float directly beside participation, so thin supply is visible at a glance instead of being inferred afterwards. That matters because low-float names move quickly in both directions, spreads tend to widen exactly when you need them tightest, and a position size that feels routine elsewhere can become difficult to exit. Reading float and volume together is what separates a genuinely active name from a thin one. Low float and liquidity, explained
Rapid Spike
Open in demo- Some moves develop faster than a watchlist can be refreshed by hand. Rapid spike events surface while the move is still forming, so a name reaches the feed at the point where it is worth a look rather than after it has already travelled. Each event arrives with the price change, the volume behind it, and where one exists, the headline that may explain it. What happens next is a research decision — these are criteria-based events describing what occurred, never instructions to enter or exit. More on Rapid Spike alerts
Breakout Conditions
Open in demo- Watching VWAP and the high of day across a dozen tickers is the kind of work that quietly gets dropped when a session turns busy. This view tracks those levels and surfaces a ticker as price clears one, with the level itself shown on the row beside price and volume. VWAP is context rather than a verdict — a reclaim can hold or fail — so the value here is being told where price sits relative to a level you already care about, without keeping twelve charts open. Breakouts and reference levels
Trade Halts
Open in demo- Trading in a security can stop with little warning — for a volatility pause, for news dissemination, or for a regulatory reason. When it does, the ticker disappears from your usual flow at the moment you most need to understand it. This view draws on official exchange halt data to show which names are halted, the reason the exchange gave, and the scheduled resumption where one has been published. The point is awareness: knowing a name is halted, and roughly when it may reopen, before acting on a stale price. Trading halts, explained
Catalyst Context
Open in demo- A price move on its own tells you what happened, not why. Catalyst context attaches the relevant headline to a scanner event where one exists, so the obvious question — what is going on with this ticker — is answered without opening a news terminal in a second window. Earnings, clinical results, contract announcements and offerings all read very differently from a move with no visible explanation, and the absence of a headline is information too. The context is there for your own judgement; no interpretation of the news is offered. How traders establish a catalyst
