For traders with a short-term time horizon who are looking for big moves over a short period, we have updated our list of the S&P 1500 (INDEXSP:SP1500) stocks trading above $10 that have the largest intraday high-low ranges (based on the average percent spread between the intraday high and low over the last 50 days). We then grouped the stocks based on whether they have a rising or falling 50-day moving average (DMA).? Stocks highlighted in gray are new to the list this month.
