Unusual Volume Screener

Volume ran at twice its recent average or more. Volume alone has no direction, which is why this pairs naturally with a price condition; a surge on a down bar means the opposite of one on an up bar. Results are limited to tickers with real volume; an illiquid name matching a screen is not a tradeable idea.

Condition
volume at least 2x its 50-bar average
Matching now
209 of 2,306 tickers
Timeframe
1d, closed bars only

Threshold source: The 2x multiple is convention with no primary source — screeners publish anything from 1.5x to 5x. The 50-bar denominator is ours.

How this screen is evaluated

Every ticker is checked on its last closed bar, so a match cannot appear mid-session and disappear at the close. Tickers without enough history to compute the condition are excluded rather than counted as non-matching — a screen needing a 200-period average simply skips a symbol that has traded for fifty days.

Browse the rest of the indicator screens, or combine this condition with a detected chart pattern in the pattern screener.
