5% Move Counter (Up vs Down)
5% Move Counter (Up vs Down)
This indicator tracks how many times a stock has made a 5% or larger move in a single session, and shows the count separately for up days and down days. It’s meant for traders who want quick context on whether a stock has a history of making large moves, instead of manually scrolling through years of price action.
Most tools only tell you what’s happening right now. This one helps you understand what the stock is capable of.
What it shows
Number of 5%+ up days
Number of 5%+ down days
Optional display modes:
All
Up Only
Down Only
Why it’s useful
Different stocks behave differently. Some give clean, powerful bursts when they break out, while others rarely move big even when the setup looks perfect. This tool helps you gauge a stock’s historical “explosiveness” so you can decide whether your strategy fits its behavior.
If your setups depend on volatility or momentum, it helps to know whether the stock has produced big moves before. This gives you that information instantly.
Customization
You can place the stats box anywhere on the chart using a simple 1–9 selector.
You can hide the rows you don’t need through a dropdown.
When a row is hidden, its background becomes fully transparent so the chart stays clean.
Who it’s for
Short-term traders, breakout traders, swing traders, and anyone who wants a quick read on whether a stock moves enough to justify certain types of trades.
