Small cap stock alerts: how PREZLO finds them
By Omri Ben David, founder of PREZLO · September 13, 2026
Small cap stocks move in minutes. By the time a move shows up in a post or a group chat, the part worth knowing about is usually over. We built PREZLO to close that gap: we watch the whole US market in real time and send you an alert the moment a small cap starts behaving unusually. This page explains exactly what that means, and what it does not mean.
What we watch
From 4:00 AM Eastern, before the market opens, PREZLO receives every trade in every US-listed stock, second by second, from a direct market data feed. We do not watch a hand-picked list. We watch everything, and we look for the small ones: stocks priced where one day can move them a long way. Every alert card then shows how small the company really is, with its market cap, float and short interest.
What has to happen before an alert goes out
Two things, at the same time. The volume has to be unusual for that stock, compared with how much it normally trades. And the price has to be moving, not sitting still on a burst of trades. A stock that is loud but flat does not pass. A stock that is up on thin volume does not pass. Both, together, pass.
The exact numbers behind "unusual" are ours and we keep them to ourselves. What we can say is that they are strict on purpose. Most days the whole market produces only a handful of alerts. If PREZLO sends you something, it is because a real screen was passed, not because a stock was mentioned somewhere.
What the alert looks like
The push notification tells you something is moving and asks you to open the app. It does not name the stock. Inside, the alert opens as a card:
- Found at: the low of the minute in which we found it. Your reference point.
- Peaked: the highest price we recorded after the alert that day (we sample every 15 seconds until the close), and how fast it got there. A price move, not a trade.
- Market cap, float, short %: how small the company is, how many shares actually trade, and how much of the float is sold short. See what float and short interest mean.
- Bulls and bears: how other PREZLO users are voting on it.

One real alert card from the app, chosen as an example. Most alerts do not move this far; see the typical outcome on our home page.
Everyone gets it at the same second
There is no early list and no inner circle. When a stock passes, the alert goes out to every subscriber in the same instant. The Track record inside the app keeps every alert of the last 60 trading days, how far each one went and how fast, so you can judge us on the whole record and not on the examples we pick.
What we never do
- We never tell you what to buy or sell. An alert says "this is moving". What you do with it is your decision.
- We never hold, move or manage your money. PREZLO is not a broker and not a registered investment adviser.
- We never take money from companies or promoters to alert on their stock. Alerts come from the data, and only from the data.
What an alert is not
An alert is not a prediction. Small caps move sharply in both directions, and a stock that is up 40% at 9:30 can be down by noon. Across all our alerts, the typical one peaks well above the price we found it at and also falls well below it the same day. Read what unusual volume actually tells you and why pre-market moves are different before you act on one.
