Show me the top 5 swing trades right now

Screening Filters

1. Region = US

   • Purpose: Limits the scan to U.S.-listed stocks.
   • Rationale: The user explicitly asked for swing trade opportunities in the U.S. stock market, so this keeps the results aligned with the requested market universe.

2. Volume >= 1,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensures the stock trades enough shares daily.
   • Rationale: Higher volume usually means better liquidity, tighter spreads, and easier entry/exit for swing trades. This is especially important if the user wants actionable opportunities right now.

3. Relative Volume >= 1.5

   • Purpose: Finds stocks trading above their normal activity level.
   • Rationale: Relative volume helps identify unusual interest and momentum. For swing trading, stocks with elevated volume are more likely to have a meaningful price move.

4. Price Above MA5 and MA20

   • Purpose: Confirms short-term and near-term upward trend structure.
   • Rationale: A stock above both its 5-day and 20-day moving averages is generally showing bullish price behavior. This helps target names with active momentum rather than weak or drifting charts.

5. MACD = Positive / Bullish

   • Purpose: Filters for improving trend momentum.
   • Rationale: MACD turning positive or bullish suggests the trend may be strengthening. That makes it useful for swing setups where you want momentum confirmation, not just a cheap stock.

6. RSI = Moderate

   • Purpose: Avoids extremes in overbought or oversold territory.
   • Rationale: A moderate RSI helps find stocks with room to continue higher without being too extended. This is useful for swing trades because it balances momentum with entry quality.

7. Unusual Options Activity = True

   • Purpose: Detects stocks with abnormal options interest.
   • Rationale: Unusual options activity often signals informed positioning, speculation around catalysts, or rising attention. That can improve the odds of a near-term move.

8. Bullish Options Sentiment

   • Purpose: Focuses on options flow that leans optimistic.
   • Rationale: Bullish options sentiment reinforces the upside bias from price and volume filters. It helps prioritize stocks where derivatives traders are positioned for a potential move higher.

Why these filters work together

• They combine liquidity filters (volume, relative volume) with trend filters (MA5, MA20, MACD) and sentiment/catalyst filters (unusual options activity, bullish options sentiment).
• This is a strong setup for finding short-term swing trade candidates rather than long-term investments or low-activity names.
• The RSI filter adds balance by avoiding stocks that may already be too stretched.

Verify against the user’s request

• Yes, the filters match the user’s request well.
• The user asked for:
  • U.S. stocks
  • strong current activity
  • bullish technical setup
  • options confirmation
• The applied filters directly reflect those needs.

Why results match

• They target U.S. stocks only, which matches the requested market.
• They require strong trading volume and relative volume, which helps surface active swing candidates.
• They require bullish trend indicators, which improves the chance that the stock is already moving in the desired direction.
• They add options activity and bullish sentiment, which can help identify stocks with extra near-term momentum or catalyst potential.

Bottom line: These filters are appropriate for finding the top 5 U.S. swing trade opportunities right now because they combine trend, momentum, liquidity, and options flow into one screen.
