The Bottom Line
Know in advance what stocks are likely to be very volatile to the upside based on the price movement over the last 20 days – anytime.

Description
This list shows which stocks have moved up the most over the last 20 trading days. Because this list is organized by the size of the price change relative to the stock’s volatility, it shows the most statistically unusual price increases. This list compares the 20 day moving average to the volatility over the last 10 days, so this list shows stocks which made a big move in the past, but aren’t likely to move that far in the near future.

The formula for this list is (yesterday’s close – 20 day SMA of the closing prices) / volatility. The highest value is shown at the top of the list.
