Like a 5 day trade

Screening Filters

1. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA5, PriceAboveMA20, PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Find stocks in a clear uptrend on multiple timeframes that are still showing near‑term strength.
   • Rationale:
     • Above the 200‑day MA → long-term uptrend (structurally strong names, like RTX now).
     • Above the 20‑day and 5‑day MAs → medium- and very short-term trend also positive, which is important for a 5‑day trade, where you generally want to trade with the prevailing trend, not against it.

2. MACD: negative

   • Purpose: Capture short-term pullbacks within an uptrend that may be setting up for a bounce over the next few days.
   • Rationale:
     • A negative MACD histogram while price is above key MAs usually means momentum has cooled temporarily without breaking the trend.
     • For a 5‑day trade, this can indicate a better entry point (buying into a mild dip rather than chasing a spike), which is consistent with how you might time a short swing in RTX.

3. RSI Category: moderate

   • Purpose: Avoid stocks that are overbought or oversold, which can be prone to sudden reversals in a short window like 5 trading days.
   • Rationale:
     • A moderate RSI (neither >70 nor <30) means price is not stretched.
     • For a 5‑day trade, this reduces the risk that you are buying right before a mean‑reversion drop or selling right before a bounce.

4. 1‑Week Price Change %: min = -5, max = 5

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks that have not already made a big move in the last week.
   • Rationale:
     • A move between –5% and +5% over the prior week suggests consolidation or only modest movement.
     • For a 5‑day trade, you typically don’t want names that already ran +15–20% (late to the move) or crashed hard (higher event risk); you want something that can still make a clean, tradable move from here—very similar to where RTX is when you ask if it’s good for a short-term trade.

5. Sector: Aerospace & Defense, Industrials

   • Purpose: Keep results within RTX’s broader industry group.
   • Rationale:
     • Your question centers on RTX, a large defense/aerospace name.
     • Limiting to Aerospace & Defense / Industrials surfaces stocks exposed to similar macro drivers (defense budgets, geopolitical risk, aerospace cycle), making them good “comps” for how a 5‑day RTX trade might behave or for alternative picks in the same theme.

6. Themes: National Defense, Aerospace & Defense

   • Purpose: Tighten the list to companies with a direct defense/aerospace theme, not just generic industrials.
   • Rationale:
     • RTX benefits from defense spending and geopolitical tensions; themed filters ensure we see names where those same catalysts apply.
     • For a 5‑day trade, event‑driven flows (contracts, conflicts, policy) often move these themed stocks together, so this is highly relevant.

7. is_optionable = True

   • Purpose: Ensure every stock is tradable via options.
   • Rationale:
     • Your previous RTX analysis explicitly used options data and put‑call ratios, which implies an options‑aware strategy.
     • For a 5‑day trade, many traders prefer calls/puts or defined‑risk spreads; requiring optionable stocks preserves that flexibility.

8. Option Sentiments: Bullish, Neutral

   • Purpose: Filter out names with strongly bearish options sentiment and keep those where option flow is at least not negative.
   • Rationale:
     • For short-term (5‑day) trades, options flow can act as a sentiment/positioning indicator.
     • Restricting to bullish/neutral helps avoid setups where the options market is clearly positioned against upside in the near term.

Why Results Match Your Question

• Your core question is about a very short holding period (≈5 trading days). The combination of short-term trend filters (MA5/20), momentum cooling (negative MACD), and neutral RSI is specifically tuned to identify near‑term tradable pullbacks within larger uptrends, exactly the kind of setup a 5‑day trader typically looks for.
• The 1‑week price change band (–5% to +5%) ensures we’re not chasing extended moves or catching knives, which is critical when your time horizon is only a few days.
• By focusing on Aerospace & Defense / National Defense themes, the screener finds stocks that behave similarly to RTX and react to the same catalysts, making them relevant peers or alternatives for a 5‑day trade in that space.
• The optionable + bullish/neutral option sentiment constraints align with the earlier RTX discussion, where options and sentiment were key inputs, and they ensure the candidates are both tradable with options and not facing heavy short-term bearish positioning.

These filters therefore match your request in spirit: finding RTX‑like, defense‑themed names that are in a healthy uptrend, currently in a short-term consolidation/pullback, and suitable for a 5‑day trading strategy.
