Anything for small capital under 5 dollars

Screening Filters

1. price max = 5

   • Purpose: Limit results to coins trading below $5.
   • Rationale: This directly matches the user’s “small capital under $5” budget constraint. It helps surface lower-priced Kraken listings that are more affordable per unit, which can be easier to size into with limited capital.

2. dollar_volume_24h min = 1,000,000

   • Purpose: Require at least $1M in 24-hour trading volume.
   • Rationale: For a small account, liquidity still matters. This filter helps avoid thinly traded coins that can have wide spreads, slippage, and difficulty entering/exiting quickly, especially on a short-term trade.

3. market_cap min = 50,000,000

   • Purpose: Exclude very small, highly fragile coins.
   • Rationale: A minimum market cap helps filter out extremely speculative names that may be prone to manipulation or sudden delisting risk. For a budget under $5, this improves the chance of finding more established low-priced coins rather than just the cheapest ones.

4. rsi_category = moderate, overbought

   • Purpose: Focus on momentum-oriented setups.
   • Rationale: The user asked for something they can buy now for short-term gains. Moderate or overbought RSI suggests the coin already has some upward momentum or strength, which is often preferred for short-term trading compared with oversold names that may still be weak.

5. moving_average_relationship = PriceAboveMA20, PriceCrossAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Identify coins with positive near-term trend structure.
   • Rationale: Price above the 20-day moving average, or just crossing above it, is a classic bullish short-term signal. This aligns with a momentum approach and helps find coins that are already trending upward rather than drifting sideways or down.

6. price_change_pct_24h min = 0

   • Purpose: Only include coins that are flat or positive over the last 24 hours.
   • Rationale: For short-term gains, the user likely wants coins with at least some current strength. This filter avoids coins that are already losing momentum and helps keep the list focused on names with better immediate sentiment.

7. is_trending = True

   • Purpose: Prioritize coins currently attracting attention and market activity.
   • Rationale: Trending coins often have stronger short-term follow-through because they’re getting more participation. For a small account, this can improve the odds of finding a fast-moving trade with enough interest to support entry and exit.

Why Results Match:

• The price under $5 filter matches the user’s small-capital constraint directly.
• The volume and market cap filters make sure the low-priced coins are still tradable and not overly risky from a liquidity or market-quality standpoint.
• The momentum filters (RSI, price above MA20, non-negative 24h change, trending) are designed for short-term upside setups, which fits the user’s request for something to buy now on Kraken.
• Combined, these filters aim to surface affordable, liquid, momentum-positive coins that are more suitable for a small account seeking short-term gains.
