Only English, select the best stock

Screening Filters

1. relative_vol >= 1.5

• Purpose: Finds stocks trading with stronger-than-normal activity.
• Rationale: For a swing trade, you want momentum and participation. Relative volume above 1.5 suggests the stock is getting more attention than usual, which can support a cleaner move and better entry/exit opportunities.

2. market_cap_category = large, mega

• Purpose: Focuses on bigger, more established companies.
• Rationale: Since the user asked to “select the best stock” and wants a stronger, higher-quality idea, large and mega caps are generally more liquid and less erratic than smaller stocks. That makes them more suitable for a swing-trade style selection.

3. moving_average_relationship = PriceAboveMA20, PriceAboveMA200

• Purpose: Screens for stocks trading above both short-term and long-term trend indicators.
• Rationale: Price above the 20-day moving average shows near-term strength, while price above the 200-day moving average indicates the broader trend is bullish. Together, these help identify stocks with trend continuation potential.

4. macd = positive, bullish

• Purpose: Filters for positive momentum and improving trend signal.
• Rationale: MACD being positive and bullish suggests the stock’s momentum is healthy and may still have room to move higher. This is especially useful for swing trade setups where timing and trend confirmation matter.

5. week_price_change_pct >= 0

• Purpose: Excludes stocks that are currently down on the week.
• Rationale: Since the user asked for the best stock, this helps prioritize names that are not already showing immediate weekly weakness. It supports selecting stocks with at least neutral-to-positive short-term performance.

6. is_index_component = GSPC, NDX

• Purpose: Restricts the search to S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 constituents.
• Rationale: These stocks are typically high quality, liquid, and widely followed. For a “best stock” request, this is a sensible way to focus on names with stronger institutional relevance and cleaner trading characteristics.

Why these filters work together

• They combine momentum (relative volume, MACD, price above moving averages) with quality/liquidity (large/mega cap, index membership).
• That makes the screen well-suited for finding a stock that is not only trending well, but also more reliable for swing trading.
• The setup favors stocks with strong technical confirmation and broad market acceptance, which aligns with the user’s request to “select the best stock” in simple English.
