Low float. price between 2 and 20.

Screening Filters

1. Price: $2 to $20

   • Purpose: To restrict results to stocks trading within the user-specified price range.
   • Rationale:
     • You explicitly asked for stocks “with prices between $2 and $20.”
     • The filter price: {'min': '2', 'max': '20'} enforces exactly that range, excluding penny stocks under $2 and higher-priced names above $20, and focusing only on the segment you’re interested in—often popular for active traders and swing traders.

2. Floating Shares: Max 20,000,000

   • Purpose: To capture “low float” stocks by limiting the number of shares available for public trading.
   • Rationale:
     • “Float” means the number of shares that are freely tradable (excluding restricted or insider-held shares).
     • Lower float typically implies higher potential volatility and sharper price moves, which is what traders usually mean when they ask for “low float” names.
     • Setting floating_shares: {'max': '20000000'} (20 million) is a common practical cutoff to define a low-float universe. Some traders might use 10M, 30M, etc., but 20M is a reasonable, widely used threshold that meaningfully narrows the field to lower supply names.

Why Results Match:

• The price filter exactly matches your requested range of 2–20.
• The floating shares ≤ 20M filter directly implements the “low float” requirement, using a realistic and commonly accepted definition of low float.

Together, these filters focus the screen on stocks that (1) trade in your specified price band and (2) have relatively limited available shares, which is precisely what you described.
