New Candle High Stock Alerts
Track stocks whose current candle exceeds the previous candle’s high. ChartsWatcher’s new candle high alerts cover supported intraday and daily intervals.
Understand the trigger
What is New candle high?
A New Candle High alert compares the current candle’s high with the immediately previous candle’s high on the selected interval. It highlights an upward extension beyond that one-candle reference. This differs from a recent chart high or a high of the day, both of which can involve a different reference level. ChartsWatcher lists intervals from one minute through one day and covers regular and extended-hours sessions.
An illustrative example
New candle high in practice
Suppose the previous five-minute candle reached $64.10, while an earlier candle reached $65.00. If the current candle moves above $64.10, it illustrates a new candle high even though the stock is below the earlier $65.00 level. The comparison is specifically with the preceding candle.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use ChartsWatcher to monitor changes from one candle to the next without requiring a larger breakout. This can help organize chart reviews around a consistent interval: open the symbol, compare the current and previous ranges, and then inspect where that small-scale extension sits within the wider session structure and recent volume.
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.

How do I add New candle high in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create an alert window and choose New candle high in its configuration. Select the available options that match your setup, then add filters to define which stocks can trigger it. Review matching alerts alongside a chart and the stock’s news.
What should I check before using this alert?
Exceeding the prior candle’s high is not the same as setting a new daily high. The current candle can also retreat after making the higher high.
From an idea to your own scan.
