Momentum stock scanner
Momentum traders want the stocks moving now on unusual volume. The Supernova scan combines the rules most of them use (a big % move, heavy relative volume, a small float, a tradeable price) and checks the market continuously.
What it finds
- Supernova: up 10%+, priced $1–$20, at least 5× time-adjusted relative volume and a free float under 20M shares
- Up 10% Today, Day 2 (yesterday’s runners moving again) and Recent IPOs presets
- High-of-day, VWAP and fast-move tags on each stock
- Live prices on up to 1,500 of the most active movers
- Today’s Supernova log: when each stock first qualified and how it has done since
How to set it up
- Tap the Supernova 10%+ preset (or open it below).
- Sort by Highest RVOL or % gainers; tap a stock for its chart with VWAP and the day’s key levels.
- Turn on Supernova push alerts (Pro) to hear about new runners within seconds.
- Check the Supernova scorecard (Pro) for how past hits played out.

Questions
What is a momentum scanner?
A tool that scans the market for stocks making unusually large moves on heavy volume, so you can find them while they’re moving instead of searching ticker by ticker.
What are the Supernova rules?
Up 10% or more on the day, priced between $1 and $20, at least 5 times its normal volume for the time of day, and a free float under 20 million shares. All four have to be true.
How fast are the alerts?
Seconds after a stock qualifies for the most active movers with live prices, and within a few minutes for the rest of the market.
