Updates & The Future of StockJelli

StockJelli is evolving. We've been shipping features, collecting data, and listening to how traders use the screener — and we're excited to share what's new and what's coming next. This post covers the latest updates that are live right now, plus a look at the roadmap features we're actively building.

🔥 New: Volume Surge Indicator

You'll now see a 🔥 fire emoji next to the volume number in the Vol column when a stock or crypto is trading on unusually high volume. This isn't just "above average" — the indicator fires when volume is significantly elevated relative to what's normal for that ticker, signaling that something meaningful is happening with participation.

Why does this matter? As we've discussed across several articles on this blog, volume is the single most important confirmation signal for momentum. A stock up 8% on normal volume is a very different situation than a stock up 8% on 5x its average volume. The first might fade by lunch. The second has real capital behind it and is far more likely to sustain.

The volume surge indicator gives you that information at a glance — no mental math required. When you're scanning the screener and see the 🔥 next to a ticker's volume, it means: this move has unusually strong participation. It's a quick filter for prioritizing which entries deserve a closer look.

This feature is available to all users on both the stocks and crypto tabs.

📊 New: Market Regime Indicator

The Market Regime Indicator is now live on the screener. It sits between the pulse ticker and the screener table, providing an at-a-glance read on the current market environment. The regime is classified into one of four states:

• 🟢 Expansion — Broad momentum across the market. Breakouts have the highest probability of follow-through.
• 🟡 Rotation — Mixed signals. Some sectors are working, others aren't. Be selective.
• 🟠 Caution — Market is weak but individual movers exist. Momentum may not sustain — tighten stops.
• 🔴 Contraction — Risk-off environment. Few movers, low breadth. The best trade may be no trade.

The regime is computed in real time from three signals StockJelli already tracks: the index trend (NASDAQ for stocks, BTC for crypto), breadth (how many tickers are qualifying on the screener), and the spread between top movers. No new data sources needed — it's a smarter lens on the data you're already seeing.

For free users, the regime label is visible — you can see which state the market is in. For subscribers, the regime goes deeper: it directly adjusts SJ Scores with multipliers that reflect the current environment. During Expansion, scores get a boost (+8%). During Contraction, scores are reduced (-15%). This means your SJ Scores automatically account for market conditions — a 7 during Expansion carries more weight than a 7 during Contraction.

🔄 Coming Soon: Re-Entry Alerts

This is the feature we're most excited about on the roadmap. We're actively collecting data on every stock and crypto that enters the screener — tracking not just the initial appearance, but whether that ticker comes back and hits the screener again on a subsequent day.

Why? Because re-entries are one of the strongest signals in momentum trading. A stock that qualifies for the screener once might be having a single good day. A stock that qualifies on Monday, pulls back Tuesday, and re-enters the screener on Wednesday is showing persistent momentum — the kind of strength that suggests institutional accumulation or a sustained catalyst, not just a one-day spike.

Here's how it will work: when a ticker re-enters the screener, you'll see a small number badge on the top-left corner of its SJ Score — indicating which entry this is (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.). A "2" means this is the second time it's appeared on the screener this week. A "3" means third.

This turns the screener into a swing trading tool, not just a day trading scanner. A ticker with a high SJ Score and a "3" badge is telling you something powerful: this asset has sustained, repeating momentum with volume confirmation across multiple sessions. That's the kind of setup that serious traders build positions around.

We're collecting the data now to validate the pattern and calibrate the feature. The goal is to launch re-entry alerts in the coming weeks.

🌅 On the Horizon: Premarket Data

One of the most requested features from stock traders: premarket screener data. Currently, StockJelli's stock screener activates at market open (9:30 AM ET). But many of the biggest momentum moves begin in the premarket session (4:00–9:30 AM ET) — stocks gapping up on earnings, news, or analyst activity before most traders are even watching.

We're working on integrating premarket data through Polygon.io, which would allow StockJelli to surface momentum stocks before the opening bell. Imagine seeing a stock up 12% on heavy premarket volume at 8:00 AM, giving you 90 minutes to research the catalyst, plan your entry, and set your levels before the rest of the market reacts.

This is a revenue-dependent feature — premarket data feeds carry additional costs — so we're scaling toward it as the platform grows. It's on the roadmap and actively being planned.

Refining the SJ Score

Behind the scenes, every screener entry is being logged and tracked — not just for the weekly reports, but to refine the SJ Score itself. We're building a dataset of thousands of momentum entries with full metadata: entry price, peak price, volume, market cap, range position, time of entry, whether it had a news catalyst, and whether the move sustained.

This data will allow us to continuously improve the scoring algorithm. Which factors actually predict follow-through? Does high range position at entry correlate with continuation? Do entries with news catalysts outperform those without? Is there an optimal volume threshold where momentum becomes more reliable?

The answers to these questions will be baked directly into future versions of the SJ Score, making it more accurate over time. The more data we collect, the better the score becomes — and every week of screener activity adds to that dataset.

Built in Public

StockJelli is a small, independent platform — and we're building it in the open. Every feature ships because it makes the screener more useful for traders, not because it looks good in a pitch deck. Your subscription directly funds development, and the feedback from our early subscribers has shaped every feature on this list.

If there's something you want to see on StockJelli — a feature, a data point, a different way of looking at momentum — let us know. The roadmap is driven by what traders actually need.
