PennyStock.Ninja is a real-time AI penny stock scanner tracking 1,459 US-listed penny stocks under $5 across NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC. Below is the live universe — pulled fresh from today's market data — with prices, sectors, and direct links to live RVOL, VWAP, premarket, and Ninja vibe signals for every name.
A penny stock is a low-priced share of a small company, usually trading below $5 per share (the SEC definition). Some traders use a stricter cutoff — under $1, or even sub-$0.10 — but on PennyStock.Ninja we track every US-listed stock priced under $5, because that's the band where you'll find both the biggest single-day moves and the most catalyst-driven setups.
Penny stocks are volatile, often thinly traded, and can move 50–300% on a single news headline or RVOL spike. That's the opportunity. It's also why position sizing and stop discipline matter more here than in any large-cap name.
How to find penny stocks worth trading
The Ninja scanner ranks penny stocks four ways every day:
RVOL (Relative Volume). Anything trading at 3× its 30-day average is unusual. 10×+ is a screaming alert.
VWAP behavior. Penny stocks holding above VWAP on rising volume tend to continue. Failures below VWAP fade.
Premarket gaps with news. A premarket gap on a real catalyst (earnings, FDA, contract, partnership) is the cleanest setup in the game.
Float and short interest. Low-float penny stocks with elevated short interest are the squeeze candidates that move 100%+ intraday.

A penny stock is a share of a small company that trades at a low price — under $5 per share, per the SEC definition. They are typically more volatile, less liquid, and more catalyst-driven than large-cap stocks.
Are penny stocks a good investment?
Penny stocks are high-risk, high-reward. They can move 50–300% on a single catalyst and they can also lose 90% just as quickly. PennyStock.Ninja gives you the data — RVOL, VWAP, float, short interest, vibe signals — so you can make your own informed decision. This is not financial advice.
How do I find good penny stocks to buy?
Look for penny stocks with a real catalyst (earnings, FDA, contract, partnership), elevated RVOL (3× or more), and price action holding above VWAP. PennyStock.Ninja's scanner surfaces these in real time.
What is the best penny stock scanner?
PennyStock.Ninja scans every US-listed penny stock in real time for premarket gaps, RVOL spikes, VWAP reclaims, halts, and proprietary 'vibe' signals like the Surfer breakout and Ninja stealth accumulation. Free 7-day trial, no card required.
What's the difference between a penny stock and a regular stock?
The SEC defines penny stocks as those trading under $5 per share, typically issued by smaller companies. They tend to be more volatile, have lower trading volume, and carry higher risk than larger-cap stocks.
Can you make money trading penny stocks?
Yes — and you can lose money just as fast. Successful penny stock trading requires a real edge (a scanner, a system, alerts), strict position sizing, and stop-loss discipline. Most retail traders lose money in penny stocks because they chase moves without a plan.
What is the best free penny stock scanner?
PennyStock.Ninja offers a free 7-day trial (no credit card required) of its real-time AI penny stock scanner. It covers every US-listed penny stock under $5 on NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC with live RVOL, VWAP, premarket gaps, halts, and proprietary vibe signals refreshed every few seconds.
How does PennyStock.Ninja work?
PennyStock.Ninja pulls live US market data every few seconds, scores each penny stock with AI models for momentum and vibe (Surfer breakout, Ninja stealth, Sushi Freshness, coin-flip, etc.), and surfaces the names most likely to run today. Members get premarket runner emails and real-time alerts when any tracked symbol trips a signal.
Are penny stocks legal to trade in the US?
Yes. Penny stocks (any equity under $5 per share, per the SEC) are legal to trade through any US broker. They carry higher volatility and lower liquidity than large-caps, so the SEC requires brokers to follow extra disclosure rules. PennyStock.Ninja is a data and analytics tool, not a broker, and does not give buy/sell recommendations.
What time does the penny stock scanner update?
Continuously, every few seconds, from 4:00 AM ET premarket through 8:00 PM ET after-hours on every US trading day. Premarket runner emails go out before 9:30 AM ET. The hub pages on this site refresh once per day at market close.
