Volume Filter

The volume filter is used to filter out stocks which show insufficient activity (ie. stocks with low liquidity):

  • The Minimum field represents volume (in number of shares), so 1 million should be entered as "1000000".
  • Do not use commas or decimals.
  • Negative numbers are not permitted.

Signals

  • Minimum Value
    Volume moving average must  not be less than the amount specified.
  • Volume Moving Average (Days)
    Select either 20-day or 100-day exponential moving average of volume.
