Give me stocks that will go up 2% today

Important Note on Guarantees

It’s not possible to guarantee that any stock will go up (or by a specific percentage like 2%) on a given day. What these filters do is identify stocks that, based on liquidity, trend, and quantitative models, have a higher probability of rising around 2% today.

Screening Filters

1. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: Limit results to stocks traded on major US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American).
   • Rationale:
     • The user asked for “stocks from the US market.”
     • These exchanges represent the core of the US equity market, excluding OTC or foreign exchanges that may be less regulated or less liquid.

2. monthly_average_dollar_volume: {'min': '500000'}

   • Purpose: Require a minimum liquidity level of $500,000 traded per day on average.
   • Rationale:
     • Ensures you get stocks that are actively traded and less prone to extreme slippage or manipulation.
     • More liquid names make it more realistic that you can enter/exit near the quoted prices and that price moves are meaningful, not just noise from a few small trades.

3. moving_average_relationship: ['PriceAboveMA20']

   • Purpose: Include only stocks trading above their 20-day moving average.
   • Rationale:
     • Price above a short-term moving average is a classic sign of a short-term uptrend or positive momentum.
     • For a stock to be “likely to increase,” it helps if it’s already in an upward bias rather than a clear downtrend.

4. price_change_pct: {'min': '-1', 'max': '1'}

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks whose current intraday move is roughly flat (between -1% and +1%).
   • Rationale:
     • The user wants stocks that are likely to increase by ~2% today.
     • By filtering to stocks that haven’t already made a large move, we are:
       • Avoiding names that already ran up (e.g., +5% early in the day) where additional gains may be less likely or more risky.
       • Focusing on candidates that still have “room” to move 2% from their current price.

5. one_day_rise_prob: {'min': '60'}

   • Purpose: Require that a model-based probability of a positive one-day move be at least 60%.
   • Rationale:
     • This directly targets the request for stocks that are likely to increase today.
     • A threshold of 60% does not ensure a rise, but filters out names where the model sees roughly coin-flip odds or worse.
     • This is the probabilistic component that translates your “likely to increase” requirement into a quantitative screen.

6. one_day_predict_return: {'min': '2', 'max': '8'}

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks where a predictive model expects a +2% to +8% return over the next day.
   • Rationale:
     • The user specifically asked for stocks “likely to increase by 2% today.”
     • Setting the minimum predicted return to 2% directly aligns with that target.
     • The maximum of 8% avoids extremely volatile names where the model expects huge swings, which may be riskier or less consistent with a moderate +2% goal.

Why Results Match the User’s Request

• The US market criterion is handled by restricting to XNYS, XNAS, XASE.
• The “likely to increase” aspect is addressed jointly by:
  • one_day_rise_prob ≥ 60 (higher probability of a positive day), and
  • PriceAboveMA20 (short-term uptrend), and
  • liquidity filter (more reliable price behavior).
• The “by 2% today” part is captured through:
  • one_day_predict_return between 2% and 8%, targeting at least ~2% upside, and
  • price_change_pct between -1% and +1%, so the 2% move is still realistic from current levels, not already achieved.

Together, these filters don’t guarantee a 2% gain, but they narrow the universe to US-listed, liquid, short-term-uptrend stocks that a quantitative model estimates have both a higher chance of rising and an expected one-day return in the 2–8% range, making them reasonably aligned with your request.
