The AlphaVision Volume Alert

I do get questions about when, or if Aqumin’s AlphaVision Pro will get an alert system. My simple answer is for right now the AlphaVision View is a giant alert for the whole market. Our users just get to see when things “cross a boundary” by changing color.

For the view below (which is the Above Average Option Volume View) green building are trading at 2x their 1 month average option volume. You can change the sliders and color boundaries but the default is set at 2x Average Volume. What you also get is the height which is the Percentage Value of Today’s move from One Standard Deviation. Taller buildings are moving more than the Implied Volatilities would indicate. Something is up in the name and it might be worth checking out. The plates are arranged by the Industry Group (by Morningstar) so you get a good detailed look.

Volume Alerts

For instance Noble Corp (NE) just got added to the S&P 500 and the name spiked with a big uptick in option volume. Usually that is good for a stock. Also note, lots of dark green buildings did not move at all today (flat). I wonder what happened in those. By using AV Pro, you can click the names and find out. I would use this view to set up potential activity prior to the open.
