Screening Filters
sector: ['Healthcare', 'Technology']
- Purpose: Limits results to companies operating in the medical/health-related space and in technology.
- Rationale:
- Your request: “US stocks in the medical and technology sectors.”
- In most financial databases, “medical” is captured under the broader Healthcare sector (which includes pharmaceuticals, medical devices, healthcare services, biotech, etc.).
- “Technology” directly corresponds to the Technology sector (software, semiconductors, hardware, IT services, etc.).
- Using these two sector filters ensures we’re focusing precisely on the types of businesses you asked for.
list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']
- Purpose: Restricts results to stocks listed on the major US exchanges:
- XNYS – New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
- XNAS – NASDAQ
- XASE – NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
- Rationale:
- You specified US stocks. Stocks listed on these three exchanges are considered primary US-listed equities.
- This excludes foreign exchanges and OTC markets, aligning the universe with US-listed companies only.
- These exchanges generally provide better liquidity, more rigorous listing standards, and more reliable financial disclosure.
Why Results Match:
- Your request was: “Please screen for US stocks in the medical and technology sectors.”
- “Medical” is implemented as the Healthcare sector, which is the standard classification that covers medical-related businesses.
- “Technology” is implemented directly via the Technology sector filter.
- Limiting to XNYS, XNAS, and XASE effectively targets US-listed stocks, fulfilling the “US stocks” requirement.
So the filters used do match your request in a practical, database-ready way:
- Sector filters = medical (via Healthcare) + technology
- Exchange filters = US stock markets (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)
As a reminder, while we can screen for sectors and exchanges that fit your criteria, no screen can guarantee which stocks “will go up a lot tomorrow.” These filters just define what kind of stocks you’re looking at, not their short-term price movements.
