List of stocks beat suited for sell put

Screening Filters

1. is_optionable: True

   • Purpose: Ensures that the stocks in the results have options available for trading.
   • Rationale: Selling put options requires the underlying stock to have an active options market. This filter eliminates stocks that do not support options trading, making it essential for the user's query.

2. option_sentiments: ['Bullish']

   • Purpose: Targets stocks with bullish sentiment in the options market.
   • Rationale: Selling put options is generally a bullish strategy, as the seller expects the stock price to remain stable or rise. Filtering for stocks with bullish sentiment increases the likelihood of finding stocks that align with this strategy.

3. debt_equity: {'max': '0.5'}

   • Purpose: Limits the results to companies with low debt relative to equity.
   • Rationale: Companies with a low debt-to-equity ratio are financially stable and less risky. This is important for selling puts, as the seller wants to minimize the risk of the stock price falling significantly due to financial instability.

4. current_ratio: {'min': '1.5'}

   • Purpose: Ensures the companies have strong short-term liquidity.
   • Rationale: A current ratio above 1.5 indicates that the company has sufficient assets to cover its short-term liabilities. This further reduces the risk of financial distress, which could negatively impact the stock price.

5. weekly_average_turnover: {'min': '2000000'}

   • Purpose: Focuses on stocks with high trading volume.
   • Rationale: High turnover ensures liquidity, which is crucial for options trading. Liquid stocks typically have tighter bid-ask spreads and more active options markets, making it easier to execute trades efficiently.

6. relative_vol: {'min': '1.5'}

   • Purpose: Identifies stocks with higher-than-average trading activity.
   • Rationale: A relative volume above 1.5 indicates that the stock is currently experiencing increased trading interest. This can lead to better pricing and more opportunities in the options market, which is beneficial for selling puts.
