5 stocks under $20 to t22rade everyday

Screening Filters

1. Price: min = 1, max = 20

   • Purpose: Find U.S. stocks trading under $20 while avoiding ultra‑illiquid penny stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • Your request is “stocks under $20,” so the $20 maximum directly reflects that.
     • A $1 minimum helps filter out sub‑$1 penny stocks, which often have poor liquidity, higher manipulation risk, and wide bid‑ask spreads—making them harder and riskier to “trade every day.”

2. Relative Volume: min = 1.5

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks currently trading with elevated activity compared to their normal volume.
   • Rationale:
     • Wanting stocks “to trade every day” implies you care about tradability and activity—you don’t want dead, inactive names.
     • Relative volume ≥ 1.5 means the stock is trading at least 50% more volume than its own typical level, which often correlates with:
       • Tighter spreads
       • Better order execution
       • More intraday opportunities for short‑term trading

3. Weekly Average Dollar Volume: min = 1,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure sufficient liquidity in dollar terms, not just share count.
   • Rationale:
     • Dollar volume = price × volume. Requiring ≥ $1M per week helps ensure:
       • Enough money is actually flowing through the stock
       • You’re less likely to be stuck in illiquid positions
       • More feasible to trade these every day without moving the market too much
     • This directly supports your goal of stocks that can realistically be traded frequently.

4. Exchange List: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE'] (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX)

   • Purpose: Limit results to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • You specified “US stock market,” which in practice means major U.S. exchanges.
     • NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX:
       • Have better regulation and disclosure
       • Generally higher liquidity and more reliable data
       • Are more suitable for active trading than OTC or pink‑sheet names

Why Results Match Your Request

• Price under $20: The price filter (≤ $20) directly reflects your max‑price requirement.
• Tradable “every day”: While no filter can guarantee daily tradeability, combining:
  • Relative volume ≥ 1.5 (unusually active now) and
  • Weekly average dollar volume ≥ $1M (baseline liquidity)
    significantly increases the likelihood that these stocks are liquid and active enough for frequent trading.
• US stock market: Limiting to XNYS, XNAS, XASE ensures all results are from major U.S. exchanges, in line with your request.

We don’t support a literal “trade every single day” guarantee, but these filters are a practical and effective way to target sub‑$20 U.S. stocks with strong, tradable liquidity and current activity, which is what active traders usually look for.
