Currently viewing the definition of: New Highs And Lows
 
 
 As the name suggests, the new highs and lows list shows stocks whose share price has reached either a new high or new low. The list can help pinpoint shares that are performing better or worse than their peers in the same sector. Viewed over a period of time, some stocks will consistently appear in one side of the list. Compare the shares performance to companies in the same sector and also to the sector average itself to identify potential over or under performers, particularly if the sector trend is moving in the opposite direction.
