In trading, timing is everything. And one of the most reliable bullish signals is a stock closing higher on strong volume. The Up On Volume Screener is designed to help traders spot exactly that — stocks showing powerful buying pressure with participation from large market players. Stocks that close green on the day (or week) with a volume surge often have one thing in common: demand is rising, and big money is stepping in. Here’s why traders love this setup:
- Confirms Bullish Momentum – Higher closes signal buyer control during the session.
- Volume Adds Conviction – Heavy volume means the move isn’t a “head fake.”
- Early Stage Breakouts – Many long trends start with a high-volume up day.
- Technical Strength – Closing in the top half of the day’s range is a bullish signal.
