Other Good Day Trading Stocks and ETFs

Another option is to look for stocks with large daily moves in dollar terms (for example, the price typically moves $1.50 a day and does at least 5 million in volume). This type of screen also tends to produce stocks that provide ample volatility for trading the intraday price moves.  These stocks are typically higher priced or have experienced a recent price shock. Average True Range is a common indicator that measures daily average movement (in dollars):

Inverse VIX ETF (XIV): ATR (14) is $5.85 and Average Volume (30) is 13.6 million.

Nvidia (NVDA): ATR (14) is $5.61 and Average Volume (30) is 16.3 million.

AliBaba Group (BABA): ATR (14) is $4.44 and Average Volume (30) is 18.9 million.

2x VIX ETN (TVIX): ATR (14) is $2.76 and Average Volume (30) is 17.1 million.

Apple (AAPL): ATR (14) is $2.71 and Average Volume (30) is 26 million.

Facebook (FB): ATR (14) is $2.37 and Average Volume (30) is 17.7 million.

JD.com (JD): ATR (14) is $1.67 and Average Volume (30) is 13.4 million

Additionally, the stocks and ETFs below typically move enough to create tradable intra-day trends, have ample volume but aren’t quite as volatile as the stocks above.

S&P 500 SPDR ETF (SPY)

Bank of America (BAC)
