50Frequently Asked Questions
What does "most active" mean?▼
Most active means highest single-day share volume across NYSE and NASDAQ. Heavy volume can come from earnings, news, index rebalancing, options expiry, or short-covering activity. High volume on a big price move is a stronger signal than the same price move on light volume.
Why are mega-caps like AAPL, MSFT, NVDA usually here?▼
The largest US stocks naturally trade the most shares simply because they have the largest float and the most institutional ownership. A "normal" day for these names involves tens of millions of shares trading; you need to compare relative volume (volume vs. its own average) to find unusual activity.
How is most-active different from most-volatile?▼
Volume measures shares traded; volatility measures price movement. A heavily traded mega-cap with a 0.3% move is not volatile but it is active. A small cap with a 20% move on light volume is volatile but not active. Use both lenses together for a complete picture.
