Post-market Highs Alert (HPOST)
Find stocks making new highs in after-hours trading in real time with Trade Ideas Streaming Alerts (Scanner). A post-market high is the highest price a stock trades after the close. These prints are not part of the normal day high.
See the breakout when it prints, not after.

Streaming Alerts push each Post-market Highs alert on the print that triggers it.
How Trade Ideas finds it: by default, this alert appears when a stock's price exceeds its previous post-market high during this time. See Trade Ideas plans and pricing to run it live.
How the Post-market Highs alert works
Post-market highs show the highest prices since the market closed. This only includes the post-market prints, which are not part of the normal highs.
You can filter this alert the same way as other highs, with one difference. We start counting the number of days from today's close. So a value of 1 day means that the high was higher than today's high, but not higher than the previous day's high. If that same print had happened before the market closed, it would have generated an alert with a value of 0 days.

Custom settings
For 'Post-market Highs' alerts, you have the option to use an alert specific filter. This filter is located immediately to the right of the corresponding alert and is always optional. You can decide to leave it blank if you want to receive more alerts, or you can fill it in to restrict the number of alerts you receive.
Settings
This filter allows you to specify the quality of the alert. When you set a higher number for this filter, you are telling the alerts server to display only alerts that meet a higher quality standard, resulting in fewer alerts being shown.
When setting an alert for 'Post-market Highs,' you can specify a minimum number of days. Here's what different values mean:
- 0: Any new post-market high triggers an alert.
- 1: A high must be higher than today's high to trigger an alert.
- 7: Only new post-market highs for the week will be shown.
- 365: Only 52-week post-market highs will be shown.
You can use any number between 0 and 366. The default value is 0.
