Overview

Top Gainers & Volume is a momentum Screener for days when markets are moving. It looks for price strength and then checks whether volume participation supports that move. If you use it well, it is one of the fastest ways to answer the question “what is actually hot right now”.

The trade-off is that momentum can flip quickly. This Screener is not about being right all the time. It is about filtering for participation, avoiding obvious exhaustion, and then using a strict risk plan so one failed breakout does not turn into a large drawdown.

Timeframe versions

This Screener is available in multiple timeframe versions. The multi-timeframe versions add context so you are less likely to buy a breakout that is fighting the bigger trend.

• Single TF is the fastest version. It shows you what is moving now, but it also contains the most “noise”.
• 1H + 4H uses 4H for context and 1H for timing. It is a good default if you want breakouts but want fewer traps.
• 4H + 1D uses 1D for context and 4H for timing. It is designed for traders who want higher-timeframe breakouts and do not need constant action.

How to pick:

• Choose Single TF when you are actively watching the screen and you are strict about not chasing.
• Choose 1H + 4H when you want breakout candidates that are not fighting the 4H context.
• Choose 4H + 1D when you prefer fewer signals, more patience, and more emphasis on macro direction.

If you choose a multi-timeframe version, follow its Playbook in Screener details. The order stays the same, but some checks move to 4H or 1D and thresholds can be stricter.

TL;DR

• Use this on “markets are moving” days to find breakout candidates fast.
