Range Change Leaders
Two tabs that rank stocks by how far they have moved since today's open, the biggest advances on one and the biggest declines on the other.
How do you read the highest range change stocks?
Range change is the percent move from today's regular-session open to the current price. It isolates what a stock has done since the opening bell, without the overnight gap. Ranking by it finds the stocks with the biggest intraday move, up or down, that are still trading well away from where they opened.
Two moves are easy to mix up. Change % is the total move from the prior close, so it includes the gap. Range % starts at today's open, so it shows only the regular session. A stock that gapped down hard and then recovered can print a small Change % and a large positive Range %, and the reverse is just as common. Read them together. Then check volume: a large range move on very little volume can be a thin print, while the same move on heavy volume has more participation behind it. A stock far from its open can also snap back, so a big Range % is not a promise of continuation. None of it says what happens next. On EZPZ, Range Change Leaders has two tabs, Advances and Declines, with the same columns and the sort reversed. Start with Market Dashboard if you want the whole tape first.
How Range Change Leaders works on EZPZ
Two tabs sit above the table. Advances sorts Range % from highest to lowest, so the biggest intraday advance is first. Declines sorts it the other way, so the biggest intraday decline is first. The active tab is highlighted, and the columns do not change.
The screenshot shows why Range % and Change % belong side by side. TMS prints a -10.17% Gap % in red, yet its Change % is 0.25% and its Range % is 11.32%, so the stock recovered through the session and ended near the prior close. CEPL prints a -4.91% Gap %, a Change % of -1.35%, and a 5.16% Range %, the same pattern on a smaller scale.
The Declines tab
Declines uses the same columns with the sort reversed, so the most negative Range % is first. It shows the stocks that have fallen furthest from today's open.
PAAI prints a 97.33% Gap % in green with a Change % of 0.00% and a Range % of -49.32%, so the stock gapped up and then gave the gain back during the session. SID prints a -0.85% Gap %, a -6.78% Change %, and a -5.56% Range % on 10.5M Volume, a decline that built up during the day on heavy trading.
How Range Change Leaders differs from the rest of stocks-data
This page ranks by the move since today's open. Gap Up and Down ranks only the gap between the prior close and the open. Top Gainers and Losers ranks the total move from the prior close, gap included. Extended Hours Leaders covers pre market and after hours. Volume Leaderboard ranks by how much traded against normal. Market Dashboard is the one-screen overview of indices, breadth, and Market Direction lights. Use this page when the question is what has moved most since the open. For one name after you have picked it, Ticker Explorer is the one-symbol dashboard.
Filters and the Info button
Two checkboxes in the header card control what the table includes. Both are on by default.
- Volume above 1M: keeps only stocks that have traded more than 1M shares today.
- Price above $1: drops sub-dollar stocks.
Uncheck either one to widen the list. Expect more thin names and larger Range % readings when you do. The Info button on the right opens a short Intraday Trading Strategy Guide with what the table is and how traders use it.
Reading the columns
Read a row left to right: where it trades and how it opened, how it moved, then how much traded.
| Column | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Symbol Price | The ticker and its last price. |
| Gap % | The gap from the prior close to today's open. Green is a gap up, red is a gap down. |
| Open High Low | Today's regular session open, high, and low. |
| Column | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Change $ Change % | The total change from the prior close, including the gap. |
| Range % | The percent change from today's open to the current price. This is the sort column, and an arrow in the header shows the direction. |
| Column | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Volume | Shares traded today. |
| Dark Pool Volume | Shares that traded on dark, off-exchange venues. A dash means none. |
| DarkVol Ratio % | Dark Pool Volume as a percent of total Volume. Higher means more of the day traded off the public order book. |
How people actually use it
Find the intraday movers
Start at the top of each tab. The biggest Range % readings are the stocks that have moved most since the open.
Compare Range % to Gap %
See whether the move came from the session or was inherited from the gap, and whether a gap is being extended or given back.
Weigh the volume
A big Range % on heavy Volume has more participation behind it than the same move on a thin tape. Keep Volume above 1M on when you want liquid names.
Pick a name to research
Treat the list as a starting point. Open the chart and the news for the reason behind the move, or check Volume Leaderboard to see whether the volume is unusual for that stock.
