Breaking Stock News Screener: Minutes Since News
Find stocks with very recent news in ChartsWatcher. Filter minutes since the latest relevant item within 24 hours and review price and volume context.
Understand the metric
What is Minutes since news?
Minutes since news expresses the age of the latest relevant news item in minutes, looking back up to 24 hours. It gives a finer recency measure than hours or days since news, useful when organizing an investigation around fresh timestamps. ChartsWatcher’s separate news alert can provide an event-based companion to this numeric screening condition.
An illustrative example
Minutes since news in practice
A maximum of 30 minutes would include a stock with a relevant item 12 minutes ago and exclude one showing 90 minutes. The same condition does not identify whether the story contains new financial results, repeats earlier information or reports a different kind of event.
Make it part of your workflow
A more deliberate stock screen.
Use the filter in ChartsWatcher to assemble a recent-news shortlist and combine it with absolute volume or short-term percentage change. Read the news item in the connected news tools, then compare its timestamp with the chart to understand the sequence of information and activity.
ChartsWatcher lets you combine this filter with other criteria in a toplist and rank the results by the columns you care about. Keep the shortlist beside charts, stock news, and watchlists in your own layout.

How do I add Minutes since news in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create a toplist and add Minutes since news to its filter configuration. Choose the available options and the bounds that fit your screen. Combine it with other metrics to narrow the results. Filters can also refine which stocks qualify for an alert.
What should I check when interpreting this filter?
A recent feed item can discuss older developments. Minute-level recency does not establish that the underlying information is new, material or the cause of a price change.
From an idea to your own scan.
Use Minutes since news with the other conditions that define your setup. Keep matching stocks, charts, and news together, with a configuration you can refine as you go.
