Argus - Real-Time Stock Momentum Scanner Beta v0.23.0
Track explosive stock movements as they happen. Argus is a professional-grade momentum scanner that monitors market activity and correlates price movements with breaking news in real-time. While others search for explanations after a stock has moved 50%, you'll have instant access to both the price action and news catalysts.
Argus monitors thousands of stocks simultaneously, alerting you when price action accelerates beyond normal ranges. More importantly, it answers the critical question: "Why is this stock moving?". By automatically correlating price movements with news and market events, Argus provides comprehensive data for your analysis.
Operating across all trading sessions, Argus tracks significant movements from pre-market through after-hours. Whether it's a biotech reacting to FDA news or unusual volume patterns, you'll see the data as it develops. Active traders rely on Argus to monitor momentum and stay informed about rapid market changes. This tool provides market data only and does not constitute financial advice.

What is Momentum Trading?
Momentum trading is a strategy where traders observe stocks that are experiencing significant price movement in one direction. The concept involves monitoring trends in the market, though outcomes are never guaranteed and all trading carries risk. This educational overview is for informational purposes only.
How Momentum Trading Generally Works
Momentum traders typically observe stocks moving significantly on high volume. The strategy involves monitoring price movements and market trends. Common components that traders may consider include:
- Trend Observation: Monitoring stocks moving in one direction.
- Price Action Monitoring: Observing actual price movements.
- Market Timing Attempts: Traders make their own decisions on position timing.
Commonly Cited Characteristics of Momentum Trading
- Volatility: High volatility with potential for both gains and losses.
- Short Term Focus: Often involves shorter holding periods.
- Technical Analysis: Frequently uses technical indicators and trading scanners.
Risks of Momentum Trading
- Substantial Loss Risk: Rapid reversals can lead to significant losses.
- High Complexity: Requires extensive market knowledge and experience.
- No Guaranteed Outcomes: Past momentum does not predict future performance.
What is a Stock Scanner for Momentum Trading?
A stock scanner is a data aggregation tool that displays information about momentum stocks experiencing price movements in the market. These tools compile market data and present it according to specified parameters, providing information only without recommendations or advice.
Functions of a Trading Scanner
- Data Aggregation: Collects price and volume information from markets.
- Parameter Filtering: Displays data based on user selected criteria.
- Information Display: Presents market data in organized formats.
- Multi Session Data: Shows information from premarket, regular, and after hours trading.
- Alert Systems: Notifies when certain parameters are met (informational only).
What Stock Scanners Do and Don't Do
Stock scanners display market data about top momentum stocks today and price movements. They DO NOT:
- Predict future price movements
- Recommend specific trades
- Guarantee profitable outcomes
- Provide investment advice
Introducing Argus: Advanced Market Data Scanner
Argus is a sophisticated market data tool that displays real-time information about stocks experiencing significant price movements. The scanner identifies momentum stocks and correlates price changes with publicly available news, helping users stay informed about market activity across all trading sessions.
The Argus Approach: Radically Simple, Remarkably Effective
While traditional scanners overwhelm you with dozens of technical indicators, Argus takes a radically simple approach. We focus exclusively on what actually matters: significant price movements.
Here's our philosophy: We track stocks that move beyond 4% from their opening price. Once a stock crosses this threshold, we continue alerting you as it reaches new session highs (for rising stocks) or new session lows (for declining stocks). This means rising stocks trigger alerts at each new high point of the day, while falling stocks trigger alerts at each new low point.
This approach cuts through the noise. While other scanners might show you volume spikes or RSI readings that lead nowhere, Argus shows you what's actually moving and why. Every alert represents real momentum in a clear direction.
Key Features of Argus Stock Scanner
- Real Time Market Monitoring: Continuously scans for stocks making significant moves (above 4%).
- Directional Tracking: Alerts on new session highs for rising stocks, new session lows for declining stocks.
- News Integration: Correlates price movements with relevant news articles.
- Complete Session Coverage: Monitors top premarket gainers, regular hours, and after hour market movers.
- Custom Parameters: Users can set their own display preferences.
- Performance Tracking: Monitor daily top gainers and losers across markets.
- Clean Interface: Intuitive design for seamless navigation.
What Argus Provides
- Market Information: Raw data about price movements and top momentum stocks today.
- Time Efficiency: Automated scanning saves time versus manual monitoring.
- News Context: Links to publicly available news for informational context.
- Data Organization: Structured display of market information.
