MOMO Pro Indicator Glossary

We've expanded the number of available indicators and configurable parameters recently and wanted to provide a quick reference for those new to MOMO Pro or those wanting clarification of the parameters in Stream, Discovery and Conditional Alerts.

• ATR = Average True Range - a measure of volatility to highlight stocks can be scalps or breakouts.

• Favorite - Option to only show your Favorite Quotes in Stream

• Float = current number of tradable shares

• Gap = close of prior day vs. open price. (Note: If used in Stream keep value very low as it significantly reduces results. Additionally, we only illustrate Gap as the close of prior day vs. open as this is the correct implementation of Gap. Other tools will show total gain of day which is misleading.)

• Halt = is halted y/n. If stock has been halted in recent period as defined in settings.

• Last = Last traded price. Use for setting price range in filters. (e.g. Last = $1 to $20)

• Last % = change of last vs. prior selected timeframe. Useful for setting % change. (e.g. 5% or greater change vs. prior (x) timeframe)

• LU/LD = Limit Up / Limit Down. Displayed to indicate limit up or limit down halt values. Only displayed for volatile moves.

• Market Cap = shares outstanding * price

• Mode - Menu setting for adjusting High/Low of day columns. Default = last print = new high or low. Near $0.10 will print when stock is $.10 away from prior high or low. Near 1% will print in Stream when stock is 1% away from prior high or low.

• Momentum = timeframe based velocity indicator based on ratio of new highs to lows.

• Moneyflow = VWAP based price * volume. Used to see relative dollars traded across wide traded price range.

• Moneyflow % = change of moneyflow vs. prior period (Similar to Volume % but will show the relative dollars traded change)
