Runners & sessions

Runners answers one question, live: what is moving right now? It’s the page day traders keep open — a ranked, self-updating list of the market’s gainers and losers, refreshed every few seconds.

Sessions: the market’s day has four parts

Choose the session and direction in the sidebar — Pre-market gainers, Regular losers, and so on. Outside a session’s hours its list freezes on the final values, clearly marked, so you can still review what ran at 7 AM after the open.

Reading a row

• % change — how far the price has moved this session. The list ranks by this.
• Volume / rel-vol — how many shares have traded, and how that compares to the stock’s normal — the “×” number. High rel-vol separates a real crowd from a rounding error.
• Float — how many shares are actually available to trade. Small floats move violently — both directions.
• News — a headline chip when we’ve matched a story to the move — click through for the details.
