I meant low IV rank

Screening Filters

1. Relative Volume > 1.5

   • Purpose: Find stocks trading with above-average activity.
   • Rationale: A relative volume screen helps surface names that are getting more attention than usual, which can make them more relevant for liquidity, momentum, or catalyst-driven ideas. Since the user originally asked for “a sector with a large amount of volume,” this filter captures that part of the request well.

2. Sector = Financials, Technology, Healthcare, Consumer Cyclicals, Industrials, Energy, Retailers, Telecommunications Services

   • Purpose: Limit results to major liquid sectors.
   • Rationale: These sectors tend to have broad market participation and meaningful trading volume. Narrowing to these areas improves the odds of finding actively traded stocks rather than thinly traded names.

3. Industry = Banking Services, Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment, Healthcare Providers & Services, Specialty Retailers, Passenger Transportation Services, Oil & Gas, Telecommunications Services

   • Purpose: Focus on specific, commonly traded industries within the selected sectors.
   • Rationale: This makes the screen more targeted and helps avoid very broad sector results. These industries are often liquid and widely followed, which fits the user’s interest in active stocks.

4. Option IV Rank < 30

   • Purpose: Filter for stocks with relatively low implied volatility rank.
   • Rationale: This directly addresses the user’s correction: “I meant low IV rank.” Low IV rank generally means options are cheaper relative to their own recent history, which is useful for traders looking for lower option premium environments.

5. Analyst Consensus = Hold, Moderate Sell

   • Purpose: Include names that are not broadly loved by analysts.
   • Rationale: This can help identify stocks that may be overlooked, neutral, or under pressure, which sometimes creates opportunity if low IV rank and high volume are also present.

Why Results Match:

• The filters now align with the clarified request for low IV rank by explicitly screening for option IV rank below 30.
• The relative volume filter keeps the search focused on stocks with active trading, which matches the earlier volume-related intent.
• The sector and industry filters help ensure the results come from liquid, widely traded areas of the market, improving relevance and tradability.
• The analyst consensus filter adds a further layer of selection for names that may be less favored, which can be useful when looking for contrarian or undervalued setups.

Match Check:

• The filters do match the user’s clarified request for low IV rank.
• We do not need to say the requested indicator is unsupported, because IV rank is supported here and is being used directly.
