    Wondering if there are any screeners for sudden drops or spikes...I tend to daytrade these movements on a few select stocks but sometimes you have to wait a bit.I would like to short the Cramer popd but i cant bear to listen/watch cnbc.
     
  2. Yeah... that would be a good one.... to be able to front-run a price spike.

  3. I played around with that a bit. One parameter is an setting an increase in relative volume. Another is to set X% from day's LoD/HoD.

  5. I use a scanner in Thinkorswim that looks for unusual volume and price gap up/down on 1 minute bars. It works fine.

  7. I don't think you can do it on the mobile app. I use the desktop version for this under the "Scan" tab.

  8. You can set that up very easily in tradingview via alerts and then get notified via app pop-up, email, or even msg to the messenger of your choice, I have other screens set up to notify me via pushover. Can also get the notifications on the mobile app
