List10 stocks up 5%

Screening Filters

1. price_change_pct ≥ 5
   • Purpose: Selects stocks whose price has increased by at least 5% over the specified period (typically today’s session or the last trading day, depending on the screener’s default).
   • Rationale:
     • Your request is for “stocks that are up 5%.” In screening language, that means we need to capture stocks that have gained 5% or more, not stayed below that threshold.
     • Setting min: 5 ensures we only include stocks that meet or exceed this 5% gain requirement and exclude any that are flat or up less than 5%.

Why Results Match:

• The core of your request is performance: “up 5%.” The price_change_pct filter directly measures this change in price as a percentage, so it targets exactly what you care about.
• While you asked for “10 stocks,” the count of results (10) is handled separately from the filters. The filter simply defines which stocks qualify (up at least 5%); limiting to 10 is just a display or sorting choice after filtering.
• The only small nuance is that the filter will return stocks up 5% or more, not exactly 5%. In practice, this is the standard and most useful interpretation of “up 5%” in stock screening.
