RECOMMEND STOCK FOR TODAY WITH $2000

Screening Filters

1. Price: $10–$150

   • Purpose: Find tradable stocks that fit a $2,000 account and avoid illiquid penny stocks or extremely expensive names.
   • Rationale:
     • With $2,000, stocks in this range let you buy a meaningful number of shares (roughly 13–200 shares), which is important for intraday trading and risk management.
     • Below $10, you start running into more speculative, often less stable stocks.
     • Above $150, you quickly end up with very small position sizes (few shares), which makes fine-grained trade management harder for a small account.

2. Volume: ≥ 1,000,000 shares

   • Purpose: Ensure high liquidity for fast entries/exits.
   • Rationale:
     • Day traders need tight spreads and enough buyers/sellers at each price level.
     • A minimum of 1M shares traded per day helps reduce slippage and makes it easier to get filled near your target price when you need to enter or exit quickly.

3. Relative Volume: ≥ 1.5

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks that are more active than usual today.
   • Rationale:
     • Relative volume ≥ 1.5 means the stock is trading at least 50% more volume than its average.
     • This usually coincides with news, catalysts, or strong interest—conditions that often produce intraday trends and volatility, which a day trader can exploit.

4. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Bias the search toward stocks in a short-term uptrend.
   • Rationale:
     • Price above the 20-day moving average indicates recent bullish momentum.
     • For a “trade today” setup, you generally want names with positive momentum rather than dead or clearly downtrending charts, increasing the odds of continuation moves you can trade intraday.

5. Price Change % Today: 1% to 8%

   • Purpose: Find stocks moving enough to be worth trading, but not so extreme that they’re uncontrollable.
   • Rationale:
     • At least +1% move shows the stock is active and has intraday opportunity; flat names are usually poor day-trading candidates.
     • Capping at +8% filters out the most parabolic, “blow-off” moves that can reverse violently and are higher risk for a small account.

6. Region: United States

   • Purpose: Focus on U.S.-listed companies with familiar market hours, regulations, and liquidity.
   • Rationale:
     • Matches your prior focus on U.S. tickers (AMD, PGEN, HAS, USFD, etc.).
     • U.S. markets typically offer tighter spreads, more stable rules, and better data access for intraday trading.

7. Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX)

   • Purpose: Limit results to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • These exchanges host the most liquid and widely followed stocks.
     • Excluding OTC and less regulated venues helps avoid many thinly traded or lower-quality names that are harder to trade intraday.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The price range plus your $2,000 capital ensures any stock found is realistically tradable with a reasonable number of shares and manageable risk.
• High volume and high relative volume focus on names with strong current interest and liquidity, ideal for entering and exiting trades today.
• Price above the 20-day MA and a 1–8% daily move target stocks in short-term uptrends that are already moving but not yet in extreme, blow-off territory—exactly the kind of setups many intraday traders look for.
• U.S. region and major exchanges align with your prior tickers and ensure better execution quality.

Together, these filters are designed to surface a short list of liquid, actively moving U.S. stocks that fit a $2,000 day-trading account and have technically favorable setups for trading today.
