Stocks that have gained, or increased, in value over a particular period are described as' Advancer's. If more stocks advance than decline-or lose value-over the course of a trading day, the financial press reports that advancers led decliners. When that occurs over a period of time, it's considered an indication that the stock market is healthy.
