Low float,< $10

Screening Filters

1. Price ≤ $10 ('price': {'max': '10'})

   • Purpose: Limit results to stocks trading at or below $10 per share.
   • Rationale:
     • The user explicitly asked for “a price under $10.”
     • Setting a maximum price of 10 directly enforces this requirement and excludes higher-priced names that wouldn’t fit the request.

2. Floating Shares ≤ 50,000,000 ('floating_shares': {'max': '50000000'})

   • Purpose: Select stocks with a relatively low public float (shares available for trading).
   • Rationale:
     • “Low float” is not a single universal number, but it generally means the tradable share count is on the lower side, which can increase volatility and make the stock more responsive to buying/selling pressure.
     • Capping floating shares at 50 million is a common practical threshold used by traders and screeners to define “low float” or at least “lower-than-average float,” helping to focus on the kind of names the user is asking about.

Why Results Match:

• The price filter directly matches the request for stocks “under $10.”
• The floating shares filter operationalizes “low float” by imposing a maximum float level (≤ 50M), which is a standard way to capture low-float stocks in a screener.

Together, these filters target exactly what was requested: stocks that are both cheap (≤ $10) and have a constrained float (≤ 50M shares).
