High/Low

The High/Low tool shows stocks breaking through daily or 52-week highs and lows. Breaking through a high or low may indicate a stock has moved through resistance or support levels, possibly indicating a changing trend.

You can customize the types of stocks to track in a High/Low tab to display any combination of the following:

• All NASDAQ stocks
• All NYSE stocks
• Indices
• Custom symbol list
• Any of your Watch Lists
• Current Positions
• See High/Low Settings for more on customizing your High/Low tabs

You can also set up "proximity alerts" to notify you when a stock is trading near a high or low, as well as setting volume and price boundaries to further tailor the data stream and reduce unwanted data.

TIP: 52-week highs and lows are indicated by a shaded green or red background, respectively.

NASDAQ and NYSE information are both updated during Pre Market, Standard, and After Hours sessions.

Using the High/Low Tool
