Market momentum is an overview of the stock market. Market momentum lists selected major market indices and market rates as well as a market momentum summary box.

The NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX and OTCBB advances/declines and shares traded include all active stocks for that day.

The new highs and new lows total requires current daily volume greater than 10,000 shares and last price greater than $2, or last price multiplied by volume greater than 10,000 for OTCBB stocks, and last price greater than $.25. Additionally, stocks must have traded for at least six months.

The market momentum box only takes into account those stocks trading that day, with a last price above $2 and stocks traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq or AMEX. This also includes the advances, unchanged and declines inside the market momentum box. Additionally, stocks must have traded for at least six months.

The momentum summary box contains a table of the number of stocks whose price has increased and decreased and the percentage of stocks above their 20-, 50-, 100-, 150- and 200-day moving average today, yesterday, last week and last month.

The formula is:

• 1) Calculate (price/previous - 1.0) for each split adjusted stock
• 2) Accumulate the result from step 1) for each of the 5000 - 6000 participating stocks
• 3) Multiply the total in 2) by 100.0 and divide the number of participating stocks

Momentum also lists the number of NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX stocks that have advanced and declined for the day with the volume of shares traded, as well as the number of new 52-week high and low stocks for each of the exchanges.

52-Week Highs and 52-Week Lows contain the stocks that have made a new 52-week high or 52-week low price today. In addition to the new high or low price, we also list the daily volume and the current 14-day relative strength.

52-Week Highs and 52-Week Lows can also be classified by exchange.

To be included in the 52-Week Highs and Lows pages, a stock has to be trading between $2 and $999 and have daily volume above 10,000 shares. OTCBB stocks have to be trading above $0.25 and have a daily volume times price above 10,000. The equity must also have traded for at least six months.

A more detailed end-of-day summary of new high and new low stock prices is available in the New Highs/Lows page, which is also contained within the Markets section.

Volume Leaders lists the stocks with the greatest volume for the day. Other information available on the page includes the last price of the stock, price change, daily percent change, 14-day relative strength and the 52-week high price and the 52-week low price.

Volume Leaders can also be classified by exchange and by price greater than or less than $10.

To be included in the volume leaders, advances and declines, a stock has to be trading between $2 and $999 and have daily volume above 10,000 shares. OTCBB stocks have to be trading above $0.25 and have a daily volume times price above 10,000.

Percent Advances/Percent Declines can also be classified by exchange, closing price and by daily volume above or below 500,000 shares.

The New Highs/Lows page lists those stocks that have made a new high or low price today. The front page lists the number of stocks that have made a new high or new low price over a 20-day (1 month), 65-day (3 months), 100-day and a 52-week period. These stocks are then sub-categorized by exchange: NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX, OTCBB, and by volume greater and less than 100,000 shares traded for the day and by closing price above or below $10.

The New Highs/Lows page will only list those stocks that have made a new high or low. It does not list those stocks who matched their prior high or low.

By clicking on the link (the number of stocks that fit the criteria), you can view the complete list of stocks. This page contains the name of the stock, the high or low price, the last price, the daily price change, daily volume, the percent range and the number of new high or lows during this period.

The percent range for new highs is the difference in the high price minus the lowest price over the period divided by the lowest price over the period. The percent range for new lows is the difference in the low price minus the highest price over the period divided by the highest price over the period.

The number of new highs is the number of times the stock has hit a new high price over the period. For example, in a 20-day period, if a stock's daily high price is always greater than the previous day's high over the 20 days, then this stock will have made 20 new highs over the 20-day period.

New Highs/Lows only includes those stocks traded on the NYSE, AMEX, Nasdaq or OTCBB exchanges with over 20 days of prices, volume greater than 1000 daily shares and last price above $0.25

FlipCharts are available of these pages, and subscribers have access to historical data and can export this information into Excel.

New Highs/Lows are updated once a day at 7 p.m. ET.

The What's Hot and What's Not section ranks stocks that have unusual price movement with respect to their historic performance. This is done by calculating the Standard Deviation which is a statistical measure of change in volatility expressed as standard deviations from the historic average, or more precisely, the variance in the latest period divided by the volatility over the past 20 periods.

The advantage of this over simply supplying a list of stocks with the greatest change on the day is that it will catch significant changes in stocks that normally trade in a non-volatile manner. As an example, it will give equal emphasis to utilities stocks and technology stocks.

As well as the standard deviation, these pages also list the closing prices, daily change, percent change and the 20-day average volume price.

The price has to be between $5 and $1000, and trading for at least a month and have an average daily volume of at least 10,000 shares.

What's Hot and What's Not are updated once a day at 8 p.m. ET.
