Short squeeze potential

Screening Filters & Rationale

1. Market Cap (500M - 10B):

   • Purpose: Focuses on mid-cap stocks with sufficient liquidity and growth potential.
   • Rationale: These companies are large enough to attract institutional interest but small enough to experience significant price movements during a short squeeze.

2. Relative Volume (≥ 1.5):

   • Purpose: Identifies stocks with trading activity significantly above their average.
   • Rationale: High relative volume often signals increased investor interest, which can amplify short squeeze potential.

3. Short Ratio (> 30%):

   • Purpose: Targets stocks with a high percentage of shares sold short.
   • Rationale: A high short ratio indicates heavy short interest, increasing the likelihood of a squeeze if buying pressure occurs.

4. Week Price Change (≥ 0%):

   • Purpose: Ensures the stock has shown positive or stable price momentum recently.
   • Rationale: Positive momentum can indicate growing investor confidence, which may trigger a short squeeze.

5. Is Optionable (True):

   • Purpose: Focuses on stocks with options trading availability.
   • Rationale: Options activity can amplify price movements and contribute to a short squeeze scenario.
