Discover market movers with TradingView hotlists
Markets change all the time, that's why timely information is everything. It's true for day traders looking for momentum as well as for long-term investors seeking unusual activity. No matter what your approach is, TradingView has a way to support your strategies — our hotlists can help you identify market leaders and stay ahead of key movements. Let's dive into how to make the most of this tool.
What are hotlists
Hotlists are dynamic lists of stocks that are experiencing significant changes — consider them watchlists curated to help you watch market movers. These stock collections are based on the following key data:
- Volume: Track assets with unusually high activity
- Percent change: Find the biggest winners and losers by percentage
- Percent range: Identify assets with the largest trading range for the day
- Gap: Spot stocks that open significantly higher or lower than the previous close
Each list is updated in real time to reflect shifts in market conditions and help traders instantly see which symbols are dominating the action.
With hotlists you can save time and focus on market movers across the world without having to manually pick stocks that might or might not influence markets.
Hotlists allow you to:
- Stay informed about key market shifts in real time
- React faster to unusual activity and potential breakouts
- Discover hidden opportunities before they appear in global news
- Build more effective watchlists based on what's actually moving today
Whether you're refining a strategy or just want to stay on top of the action, hotlists can become a powerful tool in your trader's toolkit.
