The most actives list of stocks show the most shares traded on a
given day. Stocks that make the most active list are stocks with
unusually high trading volume. This activity can be caused by
takeover activity, earning releases, institutional trading in specific
issues, and other factors. Institutional trading in some cases can
alert you to early moves into or out of specific sectors. Be aware
that a news event could kill a profit.
Most activities can sometimes exhibit extreme volatility, while
at other times the price movement is slow and volatility is almost
nonexistent. Traders who trade the most activities as one of their
trading strategies are in most cases experienced traders. This strategy
requires a fluid, unemotional focus. You must be quick to react
to trend change, and you need a thorough understanding of the
market trend and sector rotation. The majority of traders who use
this strategy are day traders. They are looking for a short-term
trend in one direction or another. This will enable them to enter a
trade long or short.
Aggressive investors can use this strategy because the most
active stocks are the beginning of a move into or out of a specific sector.
Noting the direction of this trend and analyzing the stocks that are
trending will enable you to identify long-term sector rotation. Watch
for follow-through of trend from the day before. Ask yourself if this is
the beginning, middle, or end of a trend move. Many times, a trader
can take a position in these stocks for several days. As the trend continues
into weeks, you can enter long or short the stock. Whenever
you take a position that you intend to hold overnight you must place an
exit stop. There is no exception to this rule. Despite all of your bullish
analysis and understanding of the market, your stock can go lower. By
placing a stop you are limiting a loss or locking in a profit. If you are
trading electronically, you must exit at a predefined point.
Most trading software will give you the ability to look up the
most actives on the NYSE, Nasdaq, and AMEX. Some will allow you
to access the most active options as well. If you do not have this
information, call any broker to find out which stocks are the most
active for the day.
