Runners
Stocks trading far more shares than usual today. Caught early by unusual volume, held opening gaps and breaks above multi-week highs.
Momentum names move fast in both directions. The "give up" price on each card is the level that says the idea stopped working. Educational information, not investment advice.
How the runners board works
The squeeze radar only ranks stocks where short sellers are under pressure. Plenty of big moves have nothing to do with shorts — a stock simply starts trading many times its usual volume and keeps going. This board catches those.
Every name here qualified on at least one of three reasons: it's trading far above its normal volume pace for this time of day, it gapped up at the open and is holding the gap, or it's breaking above the highest price of the last few weeks on rising volume.
Each card carries a strength score plus three prices — the trigger to clear, the give-up level, and a stretch target measured from the risk on the trade. The board refreshes while the market is open.
What is relative volume?
It compares how many shares have traded today against a normal full day, adjusted for how much of the session has passed. 5x means it is on pace to trade five times its usual volume.
How is this different from the squeeze radar?
Squeeze radar needs heavy short interest to rank a stock. Runners ignores short data entirely and looks only at volume, gaps and breakouts, so it catches momentum names the squeeze board structurally cannot see.
How do I know when a runner is losing steam?
Each card carries a volume tag. Once the volume pace drops well below its peak for the day the card switches to 'Volume cooling' or 'Volume drying up' and shows how far off the peak pace and price it is — that is the point to tighten a stop or take part of the position off.
What makes a runner a golden runner?
Four things at once: the stretch target is still at least 10% above the current price, price is at or just under the trigger rather than already chased, the volume pace is heavy and still building or holding, and more than one setup reason fired. Those are the entries with real room left, not a promise of profit.
Should I buy a name that is already up 40%?
Usually not. Cards flag very stretched moves as 'already extended' — the setups worth watching are the ones still sitting near their trigger price.
