NHOD Meaning in Stock Trading

NHOD in stocks trading stands for New High of the day.

This denotes the most recent highest price a stock has reached.

It is very important for stocks and options traders because it can trigger bullish trades.

NHOD is a signal that a stock price can go if it finds new high level.

The easiest way to find out if the current price is NHOD is by comparing the current price to the precious HOD (High of the day).

  • If current price is greater than previous HOD, then it is NHOD
  • Otherwise, it is not NHOD

NHOD vs HOD Definitions

It is important to remember that a stock can reach several (infinite) New Highs of the Day (NHOD).

Whereas, for each given trading day, there is only one High of Day (HOD).

Often, traders seem to confuse HOD for NHOD.

What does nhod mean in stock trading? - QQQ stocks posted 4 NHOD on July 1, 2022
QQQ on July 1, 2022 posted 4 NHOD starting at 11:15am EST

On the above chart of QQQ stock, I highlighted NHOD on the 15′ chart.

The first NHOD occurs on the 11:15am candle at a price of 281.73.

This is because the previous High of the Day took place on the opening candle at a price of 281.50.

Then there was another NHOD two candle later when QQQ price managed to go above the previous HOD of 281.73.

How to find NHOD Stocks

The opposite of NHOD is New Low of the Day (NLOD).

This happens when a stock is bearish and is posting lower lows.

In such instance, each new low will be NLOD.

For both NLOD and NHOD stocks, a bearish scanners and bullish scanner will help find such stocks.

To find NHOD stocks, my recommendation is to use this easy scanner setup from Finviz.

Here is a stock video how you will setup your filter to get the NHOD stocks you can trade,

NHOD Stocks are stock that you can trade confidently because they are showing strength to trade at the highest price of the day at that time.

However, you ought to be mindful that a stock cannot go up forever.

If NHOD happens to coincide with resistance level, it is well possible that a stock might be rejected and NHOD.

Consequently, from options traders, NHOD are very key levels because they will trigger a high probability either for calls (if the stock is to continue higher) or for Puts in case the New High of the day happens to be resistance.

I often use this when I want to build long term position at a cheap price.

If such order is not filled, then your broker will alert you that your order has expired at the end of the day.
