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

How to set it up

  1. Tap the Supernova 10%+ preset (or open it below).
  2. Sort by Highest RVOL or % gainers; tap a stock for its chart with VWAP and the day’s key levels.
  3. Turn on Supernova push alerts (Pro) to hear about new runners within seconds.
  4. Check the Supernova scorecard (Pro) for how past hits played out.

What to look for

Relative volume matters mostA 10% move on 5× normal volume says much more than the same move on thin trading.
VWAP as the lineMany traders favour runners holding above VWAP and treat a break below it as a warning.
Past runsEach stock’s past Supernova days and how they went are on its stock page and in the app.

The scanner, presets, filters, charts and the Morning Brief are free. Nexus Pro adds push alerts, saved scans, “why it’s moving” news on every stock, the Supernova scorecard and the dilution risk score, with a 7-day free trial. See pricing.

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.
