Sort low-priced stocks by price, and see why each one is tagged
Centband is a calm, local screener and organizer for stocks under $5. With your own free Alpha Vantage key, the table opens already filled with U.S. stocks under $5 that are most active by volume — you don't have to type tickers first. You can also keep a watchlist of names you choose, group them into price bands (Under $1, $1–$3, $3–$5, or your own), and see which published rules each one meets: Unusual volume + move Meets 3+ checks Risky. Every tag lists the exact rules that fired and their numbers, and every price shows its source and quote time.

Your data, your key
Centband doesn't sell or host market data. You connect your own free key from Alpha Vantage (about two minutes) to load the most-active-by-volume list, and optionally Finnhub and Twelve Data for names, market cap, the 52-week range, and volume. Your browser asks them directly; Wood Between Studio never sees your key or your watchlist. Filing checks come from the U.S. SEC's public EDGAR system. Read exactly how each number is sourced on About the data.
Private by design

Good to know
- Centband never suggests stocks. You choose what to watch.
- The same published rules run for everyone. You can change the thresholds on your own device.
- Unusual volume in a penny stock can be promotion, not news. See the SEC's pump-and-dump alert.
- Always confirm prices and filings with your broker and official sources.
