Give me day trades to buy today

Screening Filters

1. Price between $5 and $100 ('price': {'min': '5', 'max': '100'})

   • Purpose: Focus on tradeable, non-penny stocks that are still reasonably priced for day trading.
   • Rationale:
     • Under $5 often includes penny stocks with extreme risk, illiquidity, and unreliable moves.
     • Above $100 can make intraday position sizing harder for many day traders and can be more erratic in dollar terms.
     • The $5–$100 range is a common “sweet spot” for active traders looking for volatility but not the worst-quality names.

2. High liquidity: at least $1M average monthly dollar volume ('monthly_average_dollar_volume': {'min': '1000000'})

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are liquid enough for fast entries and exits with minimal slippage.
   • Rationale:
     • Day traders need tight bid–ask spreads and enough volume to get in and out quickly.
     • A minimum of $1M in average dollar volume helps avoid thinly traded names that can move sharply against you on small orders.

3. Price breaking resistance ('support_resistance_relationship': ['PriceBreakResistance'])

   • Purpose: Find breakout setups where the stock has just moved above a prior resistance level.
   • Rationale:
     • Breaks above resistance are classic short-term trading signals, often associated with fresh momentum and increased interest.
     • For day trades “today,” you typically want names triggering technical events now, not stocks stuck in ranges.

4. Minimum price move of +3% today ('price_change_pct': {'min': '3'})

   • Purpose: Target stocks that are already moving meaningfully intraday.
   • Rationale:
     • A gain of at least 3% signals active buying and volatility—exactly what day traders look for.
     • It filters out flat or low-volatility names that are unlikely to offer good intraday opportunities.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The screen focuses on liquid, mid-priced stocks—appropriate for entering and exiting positions intraday.
• It requires active price movement today (+3%) and a technical breakout pattern (price breaking resistance), both of which are common criteria for day-trading candidates.
• Combined, these filters are designed not to “guarantee” profitable day trades, but to surface today’s higher-probability, momentum-driven setups that many day traders look for.
