Next bullish stock

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $500M

   • Purpose: Focus on established, more stable U.S. companies rather than highly speculative micro-caps.
   • Rationale: When looking for the “next bullish stock,” it’s safer and more realistic to hunt in a universe of reasonably sized companies. Larger caps tend to have:
     • More reliable financial reporting
     • Greater institutional participation
     • Price moves that are less dominated by manipulation or single trades

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $200K

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are sufficiently liquid to enter and exit positions without excessive slippage.
   • Rationale: A stock can look “bullish” on paper, but if trading volume is thin, it may be hard to actually trade. This filter:
     • Screens out illiquid names with erratic price moves
     • Focuses on stocks where technical signals and probabilities are more meaningful
     • Makes any identified “bullish” ideas more practical for real-world trading

3. PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20-day moving average)

   • Purpose: Identify stocks already in a short-term uptrend.

   • Rationale: A “bullish” stock usually:

     • Trades above its short-term moving averages
     • Shows recent positive momentum rather than being stuck in a downtrend

     By requiring price above the 20-day moving average, the screener:

     • Filters for current or emerging uptrends
     • Avoids trying to “bottom-pick” falling stocks, which is riskier and less consistent with a “next bullish stock” mindset

4. One-Week Rise Probability ≥ 55%

   • Purpose: Favor stocks that, based on historical/statistical modeling, have a better-than-random chance of rising over the next week.
   • Rationale: While no model can guarantee future performance, this filter:
     • Adds a probabilistic edge to the selection
     • Targets names where recent patterns, volatility, and other factors historically correlate with short-term gains
     • Aligns well with the idea of the “next bullish stock” as something likely (not guaranteed) to move up soon

Why Results Match the User’s Request

• The screen narrows the universe to tradable, established U.S. stocks, where any bullish signal is more credible and actionable.
• It requires evidence of current bullish momentum (price above 20-day moving average).
• It adds a statistical tilt toward short-term upside (≥55% one-week rise probability), which is a realistic way to approximate “next bullish stock” without promising certainty.

This set of filters collectively aims to find stocks that are liquid, reasonably sized, already trending up, and statistically more likely than average to continue rising in the near term.
