Anyone know a site that will list stocks with a daily range greater than $1? I believe there is one, i just forgot what it is. Also, anyone have stats on daily ranges of stocks this year versus last year. It seems that there are fewer stocks with a daily range greater than 3% than there used to be. Don't know if thats true, but thats my take from watching my screens every day. The way i trade it seems i churn if the stock doens't move 2%. Since fewer stocks are moving 2% than there used to be, i may need to focus more on stocks/sectors that are "in play". Instead of trading the same stocks every day when they can know longer be counted on to give me a decent range/volume. It seems like the daily ranges of stocks has contracted this year more than the contraction in the range in the indexes. I.E. fewer standout sectors/stocks. OSX is an example, it used to routinely move 3 points in a day, but now anything over 2 points is a huge move for it.
You can use the deluxe stock screener on MSN to get stocks that ranged over $1 today. I guess you could run the screen for a few days to get stocks that average over $1 or you could just create an XL sheet that queries the historical high and low values off the net and look for stocks that have a high/low difference of over $1 over the past few days, weeks, whatever.
Any scanning sftw should do that. This is an interesting site, mess around and see if it has anything you can use. Banjo http://www2.barchart.com/sigtop.htx
