Pre-Market Movers

Weekdays 9:15 AM ETSource: TradingViewText only, five names
The one-line version

The five largest US pre-market percentage gainers, posted fifteen minutes before the opening bell.

What is in the post

A dated header, then five ranked lines. Each line is the symbol, its pre-market percent change, and the number of shares that traded in the pre-market session to produce it.

Only rank one carries a cashtag, because X permits one per post, so it goes to the name the post leads with. The closing line varies, so the post does not read identically every morning.

What is being ranked

The whole US market, not just OTC. This is the one weekday asset on the calendar that covers listed exchanges. The five are the largest pre-market percentage gainers, subject to a minimum amount of pre-market trading, so a name that changed hands a couple of hundred times at a silly print cannot top the list.

The data is TradingView's US market data, read at the time stamped on the post.

Why the volume column matters more than the percent

Read the two numbers together, always. A 74% pre-market move on 238 million shares and a 24% move on 223 thousand shares are not the same event, and the list does not rank them by how real they are. It ranks them by percent, which is why the shares traded sits on the same line.

Pre-market percentage is measured against the previous session's close on a thin book. A wide spread and a handful of aggressive orders can produce a large number that the opening auction erases in the first minute.
