Give me a specific stock to put or call

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap Category: large, mega

   • Purpose: Focus on big, established companies.
   • Rationale: For options, you want underlyings with:
     • Deep, liquid options chains
     • Tighter bid–ask spreads
     • Lower risk of extreme gaps/manipulation
       Large and mega cap stocks (e.g., S&P 500 names) usually have very active options markets, which is ideal when you’re looking for a practical call/put strategy you can actually execute.

2. Price: min 20, max 300

   • Purpose: Avoid very cheap “lottery ticket” stocks and extremely expensive names.
   • Rationale:
     • Under ~$20, stocks can be more volatile and less suitable for consistent options strategies.
     • Above ~$300, option premiums can become very expensive, especially if your capital is limited (you mentioned < $1,000 before).
       This range helps find stocks where single‑contract options are more affordable while still being reasonably stable.

3. Average Volume: min 1,000,000 shares/day

   • Purpose: Ensure high liquidity in the underlying stock.
   • Rationale:
     • High stock volume usually correlates with good liquidity in the options chain.
     • This leads to tighter spreads and easier entries/exits for both calls and puts.
       For your purpose (a specific options trade idea), you don’t want to be stuck in illiquid names.

4. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20, PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Find stocks in both short‑term and long‑term uptrends.
   • Rationale:
     • Price above the 20‑day MA → short‑term strength.
     • Price above the 200‑day MA → long‑term uptrend.
       This combination is classic for identifying bullish trends, making these stocks better suited for call option strategies (buying calls in the direction of the trend).
       Note: This screen is specifically biased toward bullish setups (calls), not puts. For put ideas, we’d normally look for the opposite (price below moving averages).

5. MACD: bullish

   • Purpose: Confirm upward momentum using a widely followed momentum indicator.
   • Rationale:
     A bullish MACD signal (e.g., MACD line crossing above signal, or staying above it) suggests:
     • Positive momentum
     • Increasing probability of continued upside in the near term
       This further supports call strategies—especially directional long calls or call debit spreads—since momentum and trend are aligned.

6. 1‑Week Price Change %: min 2

   • Purpose: Ensure recent short‑term strength.
   • Rationale:
     • A gain of at least 2% in the past week shows buyers are currently in control.
     • This avoids names that are technically in an uptrend but stalling or rolling over.
       This is consistent with looking for immediate swing opportunities where a call can benefit from ongoing strength.

7. 1‑Month Price Change %: min 5

   • Purpose: Capture sustained, medium‑term momentum.
   • Rationale:
     • At least 5% gain over the past month filters to names with a clear, established move higher.
     • These trends are often better candidates for swing‑style call options (e.g., 30–60 days to expiration) than flat or choppy stocks.

8. Is Optionable: True

   • Purpose: Ensure the stock actually has listed options.
   • Rationale:
     This is essential—without this filter, the screener could return stocks where you can’t trade calls or puts at all. This guarantees every result is a real candidate for implementing an options strategy.

Why Results Match Your Request

• You asked for a specific stock recommendation for a put or call option strategy.
• These filters are designed to surface high‑quality, liquid, optionable stocks in clear uptrends with bullish momentum, which are:
  • Well‑suited for directional call option trades (e.g., long calls, call debit spreads).
  • Practical to trade with tighter spreads and sufficient volume.
  • Typically more appropriate for smaller accounts due to the price range (20–300).

Important nuance:

• The current filter set is optimized for bullish setups (calls)—price above key moving averages, bullish MACD, and positive recent performance.
• If you also want put candidates, we’d normally reverse several of these conditions (e.g., price below MAs, bearish MACD, negative recent performance). The screener as configured is not doing that; it’s intentionally skewed to finding strong call‑option setups.

So while you asked for “call or put,” the filters are particularly effective at identifying stocks appropriate for a call option strategy, which aligns well with your previous swing‑trading, limited‑capital context.
