Within the financial markets, the price of an instrument can rise or fall at any point throughout the day, as there are often large changes in price action. Some short-term traders prefer to speculate on recent price action rather than looking at overall fundamentals in order to potentially capture a profit between small price movements. With this in mind, our Next Generation trading platform offers built-in categories in the product library for ‘Biggest Risers’ and ‘Biggest Fallers’, which show the biggest market movers of the day. Read on to discover how to access this tool and how to apply it to your trading strategy.
Risers and fallers describe financial instruments that have seen the largest increases or decreases in price within one given trading day. The risers and fallers category tends to refer to the stock market. For example, many traders choose to monitor LSE share risers and fallers or similar securities on the London Stock Exchange in order to find potential trades.
Our watchlists for Biggest Risers and Fallers are updated in real time and contain the top four products in each asset class with the largest daily percentage price rise or fall. This is not the same as volatility, as the assets are usually in a consistent uptrend or downtrend, rather than fluctuating back and forth between the two.
If you’re looking to trade more volatile instruments, you could instead monitor our ‘Price Movers’ watchlist, which can be found within the same section of the Product Library. This watchlist instead monitors products that have had unusual moves up or down, which are more than two standard deviations outside of their average daily price move.
Instruments that have seen a large upsurge in price are known as the risers of the market. These securities may have experienced a sudden uptrend, which may or may not continue. As you can see in the image, the Biggest Risers watchlist measures the intraday change in both percentage and actual price figures. This is the difference between the lows and highs of the day.
Traders that are monitoring rising assets may potentially be looking to buy and hold a position for a longer period of time, as this suggests potential profits if the asset were to continue to rise steadily. However, the uptrend of an asset’s price could change at any time.
Instruments that have seen a large drop in price are known as the fallers of the market. These securities may have experienced a sudden downtrend, which may or may not continue.
Traders that are monitoring falling assets may be looking to employ a shorter-term strategy and potentially short selling. This way, they can sell the stock at a higher price and then wait for the price to drop before placing a buy order again, locking in the profit from the price fall. This can be a risky strategy, so it’s worth learning more about shorting stocks in the UK if you are considering employing this strategy.
