Most Active: Free Special Stock Screen
Highest volume stocks. That is the whole idea behind the Most Active screen, one of 130 ready-made strategies built into Stock Sight Finance. Instead of hard thresholds, it ranks every one of the 6,700+US-listed stocks on Nasdaq and NYSE on this site by trading volume and surfaces the top of the list on live intraday quotes free of charge, with no sign-up required.
How the Most Active screen ranks
This screen applies no valuation or technical thresholds. It sorts the full universe by trading volume so the most active names float to the top, then updates that order as the session moves. Click any column header to re-rank by a different measure, or add conditions from the manual filter controls to turn the ranking into a real screen.
How to use the Most Active screen
Results appear the moment the screen runs, sorted by trading volume. Click any column header to re-sort them. Add conditions from the manual filter controls to narrow the ranking into a real screen, then copy the share link to save your own version. Click any symbol to open its full analysis page with price history, valuation and news.
Who special screens are for
Special screens are one-off ideas, themes that do not fit a neat factor family: penny stocks, beaten-down names, odd lots. They are the most willing to trade against the crowd, which widens the gap between a bargain and a broken business. Do the extra reading before acting on any of them.
What this screen does not tell you
A screen narrows the field. It does not judge the business. Clearing every rule above means the numbers fit this strategy rather than that the stock will rise: check why a company is cheap, read its filings, and size anything you buy accordingly. This is research tooling. It is not investment advice.

FAQ
How many stocks does the Most Active screen search?
All 6,700+ US-listed stocks on Nasdaq and NYSE covered by Stock Sight Finance, ranked by trading volume on live intraday data. The top of the list moves with volume and prices through the session, so the same screen returns a different order by the close than it did at the open.
Can I change the Most Active filters?
Yes. This screen starts from the whole universe with no thresholds, so any filter you add narrows it: a market-cap floor, a valuation cap, a trend rule. Set them in the manual filter controls and copy the share link to keep your own version. The preset is a starting point rather than a cage.
Is this screen free?
Yes. It runs on this page against live quotes with no sign-up required. A premium account adds the deeper layers of analysis on top: the full analysis tab, DCF valuation, analyst scenarios and SEC filing summaries.
