Nexus ScreenerPenny stock scanner
Penny stocks move the most and carry the most risk. Nexus Screener scans stocks under $5 on Nasdaq and NYSE (no OTC) and shows what you need to judge a move: volume, float, the news and any recent share offering.
What it finds
- Movers under $2 (a one-tap preset), or under any price you set
- Volume and relative volume, to separate real interest from a few trades
- Free float and float rotation
- News and catalyst tags (FDA, contract, offering, reverse split…)
- SEC dilution and reverse split flags from the last 30 days
How to set it up
- Tap the Under $2 preset, or open the scan below.
- For stocks under $5, set the maximum in Price range to 5 in Filters, and Volume today, at least 500K.
- Turn on the Dilution risk filter, or check each stock’s Filings tab before trading it.
- Tap a stock for its chart, news and the reason it’s moving.
What to look for
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.
