Understand the trigger
What is 5 Year All Time High?
A five-year high alert identifies a stock trading at a new high within a historical window of up to five years. Although the tool is named “5 Year All Time High,” its lookback is bounded: it does not establish a lifetime record for a company with a longer trading history. ChartsWatcher calculates this alert during premarket, regular market, and postmarket sessions, making the session of the new high part of the context.
An illustrative example
5 Year All Time High in practice
Suppose a hypothetical stock has not traded above $48 during the available five-year window. A new trade above that historical high is the kind of event this alert identifies. Open the chart to inspect how the current move relates to the longer price history and the session in which it occurred.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use this alert to build a review queue of stocks setting longer-term price milestones. In ChartsWatcher, combine that queue with your price and volume criteria, then inspect the chart and news for each symbol. This brings newly qualifying names into view without repeatedly sorting a broad market list by price performance.
ChartsWatcher brings your chosen alert types and filters into the same alert window. Add the data columns you want to see, then use the connected chart and news tools to explore a matching symbol.
