Screening Filters

1. PriceAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Find stocks trading above their 20-day moving average.
   • Rationale: This captures short-term bullish momentum. For an options trade “for today,” you want names that are already showing near-term strength rather than lagging or breaking down.

2. PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Find stocks trading above their 200-day moving average.
   • Rationale: The 200-day MA is a widely used long-term trend gauge. Stocks above it are generally considered to be in a broader bullish trend, which improves the odds of a continuation move for call buyers or bullish spreads.

3. RSI = moderate

   • Purpose: Select stocks with momentum that is healthy but not overextended.
   • Rationale: A moderate RSI helps avoid names that may already be too stretched and vulnerable to a pullback. This is useful for bullish options setups because it seeks momentum without chasing overheated conditions.

4. news_driver = Positive

   • Purpose: Include stocks with supportive news, catalysts, or sentiment.
   • Rationale: Positive news can act as the immediate catalyst that pushes a stock higher during the trading day. For bullish options trades, catalysts matter because options need directional movement and timing.

5. is_optionable = True

   • Purpose: Limit results to stocks that actually have listed options.
   • Rationale: This is essential because the user specifically asked for options trade candidates. Without this filter, the screener could return stocks that can’t be traded using options.

6. option_unusual_activity = True

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks seeing unusual options activity.
   • Rationale: Unusual options activity often signals increased trader interest, speculation, or a possible catalyst. For bullish option trades, this helps identify names where the market may already be positioning for a move higher.

Why Results Match

• The combination of PriceAboveMA20 and PriceAboveMA200 finds stocks with both short-term and long-term bullish trend alignment, which is ideal for directional bullish options trades.
• Moderate RSI helps target stocks with momentum that still has room to run, rather than stocks that may be overbought.
• Positive news adds a catalyst that can drive intraday strength, which is especially important for “today” trades.
• Optionable + unusual options activity ensures the results are tradable via options and have evidence of active market interest, improving relevance for an options screener.
• Together, these filters aim to surface stocks that are bullish, trending, catalyst-backed, and actively traded in options, which matches the user’s request for the best bullish options trade candidates for today.
