§00 SCANNER¶
OVERVIEW¶
The Scanner workspace streams a multi-panel grid of real-time equity scans across a live universe of US stocks. Each panel runs an independent preset — gappers, RVOL spikes, 52-week highs, unusual volume, premarket movers, top losers — and rows update continuously. Click any ticker to load its chart inline below the grid. Bolt on cockpit panels alongside the scanner grid — Level 2 order book, time & sales tape, depth chart, quote, and alert feed — so a single screen handles find-it, watch-it, and drill-into-it.
Path: /scanner · Shortcut: ⌘2
Tier Access
Free accounts run up to 3 panels and 5 curated presets (including Momentum Now). Custom layouts, unlimited panels, all presets, natural-language scans, audio alerts, cockpit panels, and multi-chart trading-view mode require Pro ($39/mo) or an active 7-day Pro trial.
A 2×1 / 2×2 / 3×2 grid of independent scanner panels, each running a preset (top-gainers, pre-market-gap-up, unusual-volume, near-52w-high, etc.) over the same shared streaming universe — raised from 200 to 500 symbols (2026-07-11). Panels are drag-reorderable. A green pulse on a row means it just entered the panel; a fade-out means it dropped out. The status bar at the top shows the active session (Pre-Market / Market Open / After Hours / Market Closed), the total symbols in the universe, and the seconds since the last refresh.
WHEN TO USE¶
Every session. Pre-market for gappers and overnight news reactions, the open for ORB candidates and RVOL spikes, mid-day for continuation setups, power hour for closing-print squeezes. Most sessions start here.
| Session | Primary Use |
|---|---|
| Pre-Market (4:00 AM ET) | Gappers, overnight news reactions |
| Market Open (9:30–10:30) | ORB candidates, RVOL spikes |
| Mid-Day | Continuation setups |
| Power Hour (3:00 PM) | Closing-print squeezes |
| After Hours | Earnings movers, extended-session action |
Most sessions start here.
FEATURES¶
Grid Layouts¶
The grid renders in three densities — 2×1 (two panels), 2×2 (four), 3×2 (six). Default for new accounts is 3×2. Drag any panel header to reorder. Press Space to pause the live feed and study a frozen snapshot; press it again to resume.
Session-aware layout presets. Instead of hand-arranging panels, pick a layout preset that loads a curated four-panel set tuned to a session or style:
Preset Panels it loads
pre-market Pre-Market Gap Up · Pre-Market Gap Down · Unusual Volume · Low Float Runners market-open HOD Momentum · Top Gainers · Top Losers · Unusual Volume power-hour Power Hour Surge · HOD Momentum · Unusual Volume · High Short Interest Squeeze swing-trading Near 52-Week High · Oversold (RSI<30) · Sector Momentum · Large Cap Movers penny-stocks Penny Stock Movers · Low Float Runners · Volume Spike · Small Cap Rockets after-hours After-Hours Movers · Earnings Movers · Top Gainers · Unusual Volume
Set the layout preset to auto and Tapeboard rotates the panel set by clock: pre-market from 4:00 AM ET, market-open 9:30–10:30, the default mix through the day, power-hour from 3:00 PM, and after-hours after the close. The rotation only fires when the session actually changes, so it never stomps panels you've manually arranged mid-session.
Row indicators:
- Green pulse — ticker just entered the panel
- Fade-out — ticker dropped out of the panel
The status bar displays the active session (Pre-Market / Market Open / After Hours / Market Closed), total symbols in the universe, and seconds since the last refresh.
Session-Aware Layout Presets¶
Instead of arranging panels manually, select a layout preset to load a curated four-panel set tuned to a session or trading style.
| Preset | Panels Loaded |
|---|---|
pre-market |
Pre-Market Gap Up · Pre-Market Gap Down · Unusual Volume · Low Float Runners |
market-open |
HOD Momentum · Top Gainers · Top Losers · Unusual Volume |
power-hour |
Power Hour Surge · HOD Momentum · Unusual Volume · High Short Interest Squeeze |
swing-trading |
Near 52-Week High · Oversold (RSI<30) · Sector Momentum · Large Cap Movers |
penny-stocks |
Penny Stock Movers · Low Float Runners · Volume Spike · Small Cap Rockets |
after-hours |
After-Hours Movers · Earnings Movers · Top Gainers · Unusual Volume |
Auto Rotation
Set the layout preset to auto and Tapeboard rotates the panel set by clock: pre-market from 4:00 AM ET, market-open 9:30–10:30, the default mix through mid-day, power-hour from 3:00 PM, and after-hours after the close. The rotation only fires on actual session changes — it never overwrites panels you have manually arranged mid-session.
Scan Presets¶
Click any panel header to swap its preset. The dropdown organises all 44 presets into six categories. Each preset is a fixed filter-and-sort specification.
Momentum & Gappers (12)¶
pre-market-gap-up · pre-market-gap-down · pre-market-runners · top-gainers · top-losers · hod-momentum · morning-momentum · running-up · power-hour-surge · float-rotation · gap-and-go · momentum-now
Note
pre-market-runners filters for gap >4% AND RVOL >5 AND float <20M AND price $1–$20, sorted by gap descending. gap-and-go filters for premarket gap >5% on sub-50M float with 3×+ RVOL, sorted by gap descending. momentum-now (2026-07-11) sorts by a live 5-minute price-momentum score off the streaming feed, refreshed every few seconds; it is a free preset, not Pro-gated.
Volume-Based (5)¶
| Preset | Filter |
|---|---|
unusual-volume |
>2× average volume |
relative-volume |
>3× average volume |
volume-spike |
3×+ volume in the last 5 minutes |
high-volume-breakout |
Volume surge on price breakout |
most-active |

Price Action & Technicals (9)¶
near-52w-high · near-52w-low · oversold-rsi (RSI-14 <30) · overbought-rsi (RSI-14 >70) · above-vwap · vwap-reclaim · opening-range-breakout · reversal-candidates · red-to-green

sector-momentum (includes sector picker) · low-float-runners · after-hours-movers · breaking-news-movers · high-short-interest-squeeze · ipo-watch · former-runners · halt-resume
