Give me a stock that will go up 20%

Screening Filters

1. market_cap_category: mid, large

• Purpose: Focus on more established U.S. companies.
• Rationale: A request for a stock that could rise 20% is more credible in names that already have enough scale, liquidity, and institutional interest to sustain a meaningful move. Mid- and large-caps are generally less risky than very small speculative names, while still offering enough upside potential in strong momentum phases.

2. relative_vol: min 1.2

• Purpose: Find stocks trading with above-average volume.
• Rationale: A 20% move usually needs strong participation and attention from traders. Relative volume above 1.2 suggests unusual interest, which increases the odds of a sharp directional move.

3. macd: bullish

• Purpose: Identify stocks with positive trend momentum.
• Rationale: A bullish MACD helps confirm that the stock is already in an upward technical phase. That matters when screening for a stock that can continue rising rather than one that is merely cheap.

4. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA5, PriceAboveMA20

• Purpose: Confirm short- and medium-term trend strength.
• Rationale: If price is above both the 5-day and 20-day moving averages, the stock is showing near-term and intermediate-term strength. This is a classic momentum setup for continuation higher.

5. support_resistance_relationship: PriceBreakResistance, PriceAroundResistance

• Purpose: Target breakout or near-breakout setups.
• Rationale: A stock that is breaking resistance, or sitting just around it, is often the best candidate for a fast upside move. This is especially relevant for a 20% gain target, since breakouts can trigger strong follow-through buying.

6. new_high_low: 52w_High

• Purpose: Select stocks making new highs.
• Rationale: Stocks hitting 52-week highs are often in powerful trends and can continue to attract momentum traders and systematic buying. For a large upside move, strength is usually more useful than looking for laggards.

7. region: US

• Purpose: Restrict the search to U.S.-listed stocks.
• Rationale: This directly matches the user’s request for a U.S. stock and keeps the screen relevant to the intended market.

8. one_day_rise_prob: min 55

• Purpose: Keep stocks with a better-than-average chance of rising over the next day.
• Rationale: Since the user wants a strong upside candidate, this filter helps bias the results toward names with measurable short-term positive probability.

9. one_day_predict_return: min 0

• Purpose: Exclude stocks with a negative expected one-day return.
• Rationale: This ensures the screen only returns stocks with at least a neutral-to-positive short-term expected move, which is important when searching for immediate upside candidates.

Why these filters work together

• They combine trend confirmation (MACD, moving averages), breakout behavior (resistance break/near resistance, 52-week high), and trading interest (relative volume) to find stocks with momentum and enough attention to potentially extend higher.
• The market cap filter helps avoid extremely illiquid microcaps and focuses on names where a 20% move can still happen but is more credible.
• The probability and return filters make the screen more selective by favoring stocks with a positive short-term statistical edge.
• The U.S. region filter keeps the results aligned with the user’s exact market preference.

Why Results Match:

• The user asked for a U.S. stock with potential to go up 20%. These filters are designed to find stocks already showing strong price action, breakout characteristics, and unusual trading activity.
• A 20% move is much more likely in a stock that is already trending up, breaking resistance, and drawing volume than in a random stock.
• The screen does not guarantee a 20% gain, but it is well aligned with finding the highest-probability momentum candidates for that kind of upside request.
