First, a quick clarification
No screen can guarantee “the most bullish ticker” or predict the single best performer for today. What these filters do is narrow down to stocks that statistically and technically look highly bullish right now, increasing the probability (but not guaranteeing) strong upside behavior.
Screening Filters
macd: ['bullish']
- Purpose: Select stocks with a bullish MACD signal (the MACD line crossing above the signal line or otherwise indicating upward momentum).
- Rationale: The MACD is a classic momentum indicator. A bullish MACD suggests that upward momentum is building, which is exactly what you want when looking for “most bullish” candidates for today.
moving_average_relationship: ['PriceAboveMA5', 'PriceAboveMA20']
- Purpose: Find stocks where the current price is above both the short-term (5-day) and slightly longer short-term (20-day) moving averages.
- Rationale:
- PriceAboveMA5: Very short-term strength—buyers are in control over the last few days.
- PriceAboveMA20: Confirms a broader short-term uptrend, not just a one-day spike.
Together, these indicate the stock is in a short-term uptrend, aligning with the idea of being “bullish today.”
region: ['United States']
- Purpose: Restrict results to U.S. stocks.
- Rationale: The user explicitly asked about the US stock market, so this keeps the universe to U.S.-domiciled companies and avoids foreign markets.
list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']
- Purpose: Limit to stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges:
- XNYS = NYSE
- XNAS = NASDAQ
- XASE = NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
- Rationale: These exchanges host the most liquid and widely followed U.S. stocks. That improves data reliability and tradability, which is important when trying to identify realistic bullish opportunities.
one_day_rise_prob: {'min': '75'}
- Purpose: Filter for stocks that, based on a model or historical pattern, have at least a 75% estimated probability of rising over the next day.
- Rationale: This directly targets your desire for “bullish today.” Instead of just looking at momentum, it uses a probabilistic measure of a one-day price increase, focusing on names statistically more likely to rise in the immediate term.
option_sentiments: ['Bullish']
- Purpose: Include only stocks where options market sentiment is bullish (e.g., higher call buying, skew, or positioning that leans positive).
- Rationale: Options traders are often considered more informed or speculative capital. Bullish options sentiment suggests that sophisticated traders expect upside, strengthening the case that the stock is currently viewed as bullish by the market.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The filters combine price trend (MACD, moving averages) and short-term probability (one_day_rise_prob ≥ 75%) to focus on stocks that appear strong right now and are more likely (though never guaranteed) to rise today.
- Regional and exchange filters ensure the universe is exactly the U.S. stock market on major exchanges, matching your geographic scope.
- Bullish options sentiment adds a layer of market expectations, aligning with the idea of finding the “most bullish” names—where both price action and derivative markets point in the same positive direction.
Together, these filters don’t promise the single “best” ticker, but they tightly home in on high-probability, strongly bullish U.S. stocks for today.
