  Volume (including relative) is an excellent indicator for trading momentum i.e. stocks that are moving now…

  1. Volume – more volume can = bigger price shifts.
  
  2. Volatility – more volatility can = greater opportunities for day traders.

    Hi Brian,
    
    Sorry for the delayed response.
    
    There’s a country filter option underneath the title ‘Stock Screener’ at the top. See the image below for how to filter it to UK.
