No stock is in Drop > 2% on the 1-Hour chart right now. The screen re-evaluates on every 1-hour close; the app alerts the moment one enters.
The filter measures the percentage change between the current 1-hour bar's close and the immediately prior 1-hour bar's close. A 2% drop means a $100 stock fell at least $2 in a single hour. on the 1-Hour timeframe, each bar consolidates an hour of price action, smoothing out individual 5-minute spikes. A 2% drop on an hourly bar therefore reflects a sustained intraday move, not a momentary print. No volume, trend, or indicator filter is applied — it is a raw price velocity threshold.
A 2% hourly drop has different implications depending on the time of day and market conditions. A 2% drop in the first hour (9:30-10:30 AM ET) could be a gap continuation or opening volatility. A 2% drop in the 1 PM hour may indicate a breakdown through a key intraday level when volume is normally thin — a meaningful signal. Near the close, large hourly drops sometimes represent institutional rebalancing or options hedging rather than directional conviction. Failure modes: (1) immediate reversal — the drop triggers the screen but price snaps back within the next hourly bar, a common outcome in choppy markets; (2) the drop is part of a market-wide move where 40+ stocks simultaneously trigger, reducing individual selectivity; (3) the stock was already in a deep downtrend and the drop extends the trend rather than creating a new entry opportunity. For smaller intraday drops, see Drop > 1% (5-minute). For daily drops, see Drop > 5%. The ORB 15m + VWAP Breakdown screen identifies the structural context that often precedes this hourly signal.

A 2% drop in a single hour is a substantial move — it typically indicates a catalyst event, a major technical level breaking, or a sharp shift in sector sentiment.
