Best short term investments

Screening Filters

1. Weekly Average Turnover (min: 1,000,000):

   • Purpose: To ensure the selected stocks have sufficient liquidity.
   • Rationale: High turnover indicates that the stock is actively traded, which is crucial for short-term investments. It ensures that you can enter and exit positions easily without significant price slippage.

2. Relative Volume (min: 1.5):

   • Purpose: To identify stocks experiencing higher-than-usual trading activity.
   • Rationale: A relative volume above 1.5 means the stock is trading at least 1.5 times its average volume, which often signals increased investor interest or news-driven momentum. This is important for short-term investments, as higher volume can lead to more significant price movements.

3. Week Price Change Percentage (min: 0):

   • Purpose: To filter for stocks that have shown positive price movement over the past week.
   • Rationale: Positive weekly price change indicates upward momentum, which is a desirable trait for short-term investments. It helps focus on stocks that are already trending upward rather than those in decline.

4. Moving Average Relationship (PriceCrossAboveMA5):

   • Purpose: To identify stocks where the price has recently crossed above the 5-day moving average.
   • Rationale: A price crossing above a short-term moving average is a bullish technical signal, often indicating the start of an upward trend. This aligns with the goal of finding stocks with short-term growth potential.
