I said one stock

Quick note on the request

No screener can guarantee a stock will “shoot up” 50% on a specific day (like Monday). What we can do is bias the search toward stocks that historically show higher volatility and a higher modeled probability of rising, which raises the chance (but never guarantees) a big move.

Below is how each filter does that.

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap: 50M – 2B; Categories: Small & Micro

   • Purpose: Focus on smaller, more volatile companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Small and micro caps (≈$50M–$2B) tend to move more sharply than large caps because:
       • They are less followed by institutions.
       • News, orders, or sentiment changes can have a larger percentage impact.
     • If you’re looking for a possible 50% move in one day, these are the segments where such moves are more likely (though still rare).

2. Price: $0.50 – $20

   • Purpose: Target lower-priced stocks that can realistically make large percentage moves.
   • Rationale:
     • A $5 stock jumping to $7.50 (+50%) is more common than a $200 stock going to $300 in one session.
     • Cutting off below $0.50 helps avoid many ultra-illiquid, extremely risky penny stocks that may not be tradable at size.

3. Weekly Average Dollar Volume: ≥ $200,000

   • Purpose: Ensure minimum liquidity so the stock is tradable.
   • Rationale:
     • We want names that actually trade real dollar volume, not dead or ultra-illiquid tickers.
     • At least $200k per week in dollar volume helps:
       • Reduce the risk of not getting filled.
       • Avoid extreme bid-ask spreads that can distort returns.

4. Beta: HighRisk

   • Purpose: Specifically pick high-volatility stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • “High beta” means the stock has historically moved more than the overall market.
     • For a shot at a +50% day, you generally need high historical volatility—this filter intentionally leans into risk.

5. Exchanges: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Restrict to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • These exchanges have better listing standards, reporting requirements, and typically more reliable pricing data.
     • It avoids many OTC/pink-sheet names where price moves may be extreme but often come with very poor liquidity and higher manipulation risk.

6. Region: United States

   • Purpose: Limit to U.S.-listed companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Aligns with the exchanges above and standardizes time zone (so “Monday” means the same trading session context).
     • Ensures more consistent regulatory environment and data quality.

7. One-Day Rise Probability: ≥ 55%

   • Purpose: Use a model-based signal to favor stocks with a statistically higher chance of rising on a given day.
   • Rationale:
     • This is a quantitative estimate (e.g., from historical patterns, price behavior, etc.).
     • Setting a minimum of 55% focuses on names where the model suggests a better-than-coin-flip chance of a positive day, which is consistent with “a chance of shooting up” even if the actual magnitude (50%) is still unlikely.

Why These Results Match Your Intent

• You asked for one stock with a chance of a large one-day move (+50%).
• The filters:
  • Push toward small/micro, high-beta, lower-priced U.S. stocks—where big percentage moves are more plausible.
  • Maintain basic liquidity so the idea is at least somewhat tradable.
  • Add a one-day rise probability filter to systematically favor stocks with a statistically higher odds of going up that day.

From this narrowed universe, the system can then select one stock that best fits these criteria (usually by ranking on predicted one-day return or similar).
