Cue today projection and buy and sell

Screening Filters

1. relative_vol >= 1.0

• Purpose: Find stocks trading with at least normal-to-above-normal activity.
• Rationale: The user is asking for a today projection and buy/sell levels, so we want names where price movement is meaningful enough to analyze for intraday trading. Relative volume above 1.0 helps capture stocks that are actually being traded with interest, which improves the relevance of short-term projections.

2. moving_average_relationship = PriceAboveMA5

• Purpose: Identify stocks trading above their 5-day moving average.
• Rationale: This is a short-term bullish momentum filter. For a “today projection,” especially when the user asks for buy and sell guidance, price above the 5-day MA suggests the stock has immediate upside momentum or is at least holding near a short-term uptrend. That makes it more suitable for near-term long entries and momentum-based setups.

3. rsi_category = moderate

• Purpose: Avoid extremely overbought or oversold stocks.
• Rationale: Since the user wants a practical trading view with buy/sell points, a moderate RSI is ideal because it reduces the chance of chasing a stock that is already stretched. It helps focus on names that still have room to move either direction and are less likely to be at a short-term exhaustion extreme.

4. themes = Biotech

• Purpose: Narrow the universe to biotech stocks.
• Rationale: CUE is a biotech name, and biotech stocks often move sharply on news, clinical updates, financing, and catalysts. This theme filter makes the screen more relevant to the user’s likely interest in CUE-style event-driven moves, which are important for same-day projection and trade planning.

5. news_driver = Positive

• Purpose: Focus on stocks with bullish catalysts or favorable headlines.
• Rationale: For a today projection and buy/sell analysis, positive news is one of the strongest drivers of intraday price action. This filter helps isolate stocks with a better probability of upside continuation, which is especially useful in biotech where news can strongly affect sentiment and price levels.

6. list_exchange = XNAS

• Purpose: Restrict results to Nasdaq-listed stocks.
• Rationale: Nasdaq listings are common for biotech names and are often more liquid and actively traded intraday. That supports the user’s need for a practical buy/sell setup, since liquidity and tighter execution matter for short-term trading.

7. is_optionable = True

• Purpose: Ensure the stock supports options trading.
• Rationale: Since the user asked for buy and sell guidance in the context of CUE, which may be part of broader trading strategy discussions, optionable names are more flexible for traders. This also keeps the screen aligned with tradable names that can support advanced strategies if needed.

Why Results Match:

• The user is asking for a same-day price projection and trade levels, so the screen should emphasize active, momentum-driven stocks rather than slow-moving names.
• The combination of positive news + biotech theme + above-MA5 + moderate RSI is well suited for identifying stocks that may still have near-term upside potential without being excessively overextended.
• Relative volume ensures the stock is actually tradable today, while Nasdaq listing and optionable status improve liquidity and flexibility for execution.
• Together, these filters are designed to surface stocks like CUE that can react strongly to catalysts and are suitable for intraday projection, entry, and exit planning.
