# Screener momentum

Use the screener momentum workflow when you want to find markets that are moving now from live trade activity, not only from 24-hour performance.

The [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md) highlights pump, dump, and volatility conditions, then lets you open the market in [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md) for charting and execution.

## When to use it

Use this workflow when:

* A market triggers pump, dump, or volatility alerts.
* Trade count and volume are rising together.
* You want to find momentum before it appears on slower watchlists.
* You are scanning multiple markets for actionable movement.

Use the screener to shortlist candidates, then validate the trade in Terminal.

## What to validate

Before trading a screener signal, check:

* Whether volume supports the price move.
* Whether volume delta confirms directional pressure.
* Whether the move is early, extended, or already reversing.
* Whether funding or open interest adds useful context.
* Whether related markets or the broader market are moving too.
* Whether your size is reasonable for visible orderbook liquidity.

## Order types that fit

## What to monitor afterward

After submitting:

* Watch [Positions](/terminal-sections/positions.md) for exposure, TP / SL, funding projection, and PNL.
* Track active execution in [Open orders](/terminal-sections/open-orders.md), [Open chases](/terminal-sections/open-chases.md), or [Open TWAPs](/terminal-sections/open-twaps.md).
* Keep [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md) open to see whether momentum expands or fades.

## Common mistakes

* Treating one short-window spike as a full trend.
* Ignoring low liquidity in smaller markets.
* Entering after the move is already exhausted.
* Leaving noisy markets unmuted and reacting to low-quality alerts.
* Forgetting to monitor active Chase or TWAP execution.
