Screening Filters
relative_vol min 1.5
- Purpose: Find stocks trading with above-normal volume.
- Rationale: A “rare setup” usually implies unusual market activity. Relative volume above 1.5 helps isolate names where participation is elevated, which often matters when a stock is breaking out, reacting to a key level, or starting a new trend.
support_resistance_relationship: PriceAroundResistance, PriceBreakUpperBoll
- Purpose: Identify stocks near a breakout point or pushing through a key technical ceiling.
- Rationale: If the user is asking to analyze a rare setup for SNX, this suggests looking for a potentially unusual technical inflection. Being around resistance or breaking above the upper Bollinger Band can signal an expansion move, momentum ignition, or a breakout attempt—all classic “setup” conditions.
moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA200, PriceCrossAboveMA20
- Purpose: Confirm trend strength and short-term momentum.
- Rationale:
- PriceAboveMA200 filters for stocks in a broader uptrend or at least not in a long-term downtrend.
- PriceCrossAboveMA20 captures a fresh short-term momentum shift.
Together, these help focus on stocks that are not only moving, but doing so in a technically constructive way.
macd: bullish, positive
- Purpose: Add momentum confirmation from the MACD indicator.
- Rationale: MACD turning bullish and positive strengthens the case that the move is gaining internal momentum rather than being a one-off spike. This is useful when evaluating an unusual setup because it reduces the chance of false breakouts.
region: US
- Purpose: Limit the scan to U.S.-listed stocks.
- Rationale: Since SNX is a U.S. stock and the user specifically references a stock ticker, restricting to the U.S. ensures the screener stays in the relevant market universe and avoids irrelevant international names.
Why Results Match the User’s Query
- The combination of elevated volume, price near or above resistance, short-term and long-term trend confirmation, and bullish MACD momentum is well-suited for identifying a rare technical setup rather than an ordinary stock move.
- Together, these filters aim to surface stocks that are:
- actively trading,
- technically breaking out or approaching a breakout,
- supported by momentum,
- and aligned with a broader trend.
In short, the filters are designed to find stocks with the kind of unusual, high-conviction technical behavior that would be relevant when analyzing a rare setup like SNX.
