    Hey guys,

    any out-of-the-box software out there that can spot volume/price spikes
    for a user specified set of tickers?

    Thanks!

  2. How about Google sheets? Probably easier to just create a watchlist somewhere with a alerts or track unusual volume stocks in a myriad of ways online.

    Stockcharts .com allows you to scan for volume and will send alerts.

    my bad....i meant intraday volume spikes
     
  5. Just create a watchlist and set price alerts...volume is meaningless anyway unless using volume profile for liquidity levels.

    Good practical plan.
    Volume mostly means not much;
    but i still want to know above average 50dma volume, liquidity levels, buyer-seller interest .
    Plenty of fake volume intraday = a days volume on hourly chart usually is fake LOL:D:D
    Also if you watched or traded-invested SPY much, volume spikes stand out.
    [The is a buyer for every seller[except maybe post market LOL] but most of us call a down day ''sell volume'' when price is down]:caution:

    so was looking for volume spike simply as proxy for sharp sudden move

    OK;
    but you dont really get paid on volume, even though in a second sense use maybe ok.
    I like to take a brief lunch break, solves tiring a bit / even if its just to drink some juice + light lunch.
    Amazing how much average price volume tells...........
