High volume low float stocks

Screening Filters

1. floating_shares ≤ 30,000,000 (Low float)

   • Purpose: To find “low float” stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • “Float” is the number of shares available for public trading.
     • A cap of 30 million shares is a common threshold used by traders to define low-float stocks (they tend to move more sharply because supply is limited).
     • By setting a maximum on floating shares, we’re explicitly targeting companies with relatively few tradable shares, which matches your “low float” requirement.

2. volume ≥ 1,000,000 (High volume)

   • Purpose: To ensure the stocks are trading with “high volume.”
   • Rationale:
     • Daily volume of at least 1 million shares is a widely used benchmark for “highly traded” or “liquid” stocks, especially in the U.S. market.
     • This filter excludes illiquid low-float names that barely trade, and focuses on those that are actively traded, aligning with your request for “high volume” stocks.

3. region = United States

   • Purpose: To restrict results to stocks listed in the U.S. market.
   • Rationale:
     • You specifically asked for “US market,” so we limit the universe to U.S.-listed companies.
     • This removes non-U.S. listings and keeps the results focused on the market you care about.

Why Results Match:

• “Low float” is captured by floating_shares ≤ 30M, a standard cut-off for low-float names.
• “High volume” is captured by volume ≥ 1M, ensuring active trading and better liquidity.
• “In the US market” is captured by region = United States, restricting to U.S.-listed stocks.

All three parts of your request—high volume, low float, U.S. market—are directly addressed by the filters used.
