Bullish stock today

Screening Filters

1. region: United States

   • Purpose: Limit results to U.S.-listed companies.
   • Rationale: You asked for “stocks in the US stock market.” This ensures only U.S. companies are included and excludes foreign listings or ADRs.

2. list_exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Focus on major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American).
   • Rationale: These are the primary U.S. stock exchanges where most liquid, widely followed stocks trade. It avoids OTC/pink-sheet names that are often illiquid, volatile, or lower quality.

3. monthly_average_dollar_volume ≥ $2,000,000

   • Purpose: Enforce a minimum liquidity level.
   • Rationale: A bullish idea is only useful if you can realistically trade it. Using a $2M+ average dollar volume filter helps:
     • Reduce slippage and big bid-ask spreads.
     • Avoid thinly traded microcaps where prices can be easily manipulated.
     • Focus on names institutions and active traders can enter/exit more easily.

4. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA20 and PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Identify stocks in both short-term and long-term uptrends.
   • Rationale: “Bullish” usually implies positive trend:
     • PriceAboveMA200: The stock trades above its 200-day moving average, a classic sign of a longer-term uptrend and positive structural bias.
     • PriceAboveMA20: The stock is also above its 20-day moving average, indicating near-term strength and momentum, not just a distant past rally.
   • Using both together narrows results to stocks that are broadly trending higher and currently holding that strength.

5. price_change_pct ≥ 5% (today)

   • Purpose: Capture strong positive price action today.
   • Rationale: A stock up 5%+ on the day signals:
     • Active buying pressure.
     • Strong intraday or daily momentum consistent with “bullish today.”
   • This focuses on names showing clear, current strength rather than slow grinders or flat movers.

6. rsi_category: moderate

   • Purpose: Find bullish stocks that are not yet extremely overbought.
   • Rationale: RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures recent price strength:
     • “Moderate” RSI generally means the stock is trending up but not at a level typically considered overbought.
     • This helps avoid names that may have already run too far, too fast and are more vulnerable to sharp pullbacks, while still keeping the bullish tone.
