Screening Filters
Price: 5–20 USD
- Purpose: To find stocks whose current share price is between $5 and $20.
- Rationale:
- The user explicitly asked for stocks “priced between $5 and $20,” so setting a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 directly encodes this requirement.
- This automatically excludes penny stocks (typically under $5), which can be very illiquid and risky, as well as higher-priced shares that fall outside the user’s target range.
Region: United States
- Purpose: To limit the search universe to U.S.-domiciled companies.
- Rationale:
- The user requested “US stock,” which generally refers to companies based in or primarily listed in the United States.
- This filter narrows the results to U.S. companies, aligning with that geographic focus and avoiding foreign firms that might also trade in USD but are not U.S. stocks.
Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)
- Purpose: To restrict results to major U.S. exchanges.
- Rationale:
- These three codes represent the primary U.S. stock exchanges where most U.S. equities trade:
- XNYS: NYSE
- XNAS: NASDAQ
- XASE: NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
- Focusing on these exchanges helps ensure better liquidity, more reliable pricing, and established listing standards. It also matches what most investors mean when they say “US stock,” as opposed to OTC or pink sheet securities.
Why Results Match:
- The price filter (5–20) directly implements the requested price range.
- The region = United States and U.S. exchange filters (XNYS, XNAS, XASE) together ensure that only U.S.-listed stocks on major U.S. exchanges are returned, which matches the request for “US stock.”
All of the specific elements in your question are fully supported by these filters, so the screen is well aligned with what you asked for.
