Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $5B & Category = Large / Mid Cap
- Purpose: Focus on established, relatively stable companies rather than tiny speculative names.
- Rationale:
- You want to “make quick money,” but also not take on pure lottery-ticket risk.
- Larger and mid-sized companies are less prone to manipulation and extreme illiquidity than very small caps, while still offering meaningful upside over short periods.
- This increases the chance that price moves are driven by real information and sentiment, not random spikes.
Share Price Between $10 and $120
- Purpose: Exclude very low-priced penny stocks and extremely high-priced shares.
- Rationale:
- Penny stocks (under ~$5–10) often have higher fraud risk, huge spreads, and wild volatility that can quickly wipe out capital—especially risky when you have $1,000.
- Extremely high-priced stocks might limit position sizing flexibility; with $1,000 you might only get a handful of shares.
- The $10–$120 band balances tradability, risk, and the ability to size positions reasonably with your capital.
Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $2,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure liquidity—that you can get in and out without huge price impact or big bid/ask spreads.
- Rationale:
- For short-term, “quick money” trades, you need to be able to exit fast.
- Higher dollar volume typically means tighter spreads and more predictable execution.
- This reduces the risk that slippage eats into any short-term gains.
Region = United States
- Purpose: Limit to U.S.-listed companies.
- Rationale:
- U.S. markets have relatively strong regulation, disclosure standards, and liquidity.
- It also keeps the universe consistent in terms of time zones, trading hours, and reporting standards—helpful when you’re trying to trade on short-term moves.
Exchange = NYSE (XNYS), NASDAQ (XNAS), AMEX (XASE)
- Purpose: Restrict to major U.S. exchanges.
- Rationale:
- These exchanges have stricter listing requirements, so you avoid many of the lowest-quality OTC or pink-sheet names.
- Major exchanges improve transparency and liquidity—again important when trying to make short-term trades.
One-Week Rise Probability ≥ 75%
- Purpose: Focus on stocks with a model-estimated high probability of rising over the next week.
- Rationale:
- Your original question was “What stock will rise the highest tomorrow?” and then “I would like to make quick money.”
- No one can guarantee what will rise tomorrow, but this filter uses a quantitative model to find names with a relatively high probability of a positive move over a short horizon (one week).
- Setting the bar at 75%+ narrows the list to candidates where the model sees favorable odds—not certainty, but better-than-random chances.
One-Week Predicted Return ≥ 4%
- Purpose: Target stocks where the expected short-term gain is meaningful, not just slightly positive.
- Rationale:
- A 4%+ predicted return over about a week is aggressive and aligns with the idea of “quick money.”
- This filter avoids names that might be likely to go up, but only by a negligible amount that wouldn’t move the needle on $1,000 after costs and risk.
Sorting by One-Week Predicted Return (Descending)
- Purpose: Rank the remaining candidates by highest expected short-term return first.
- Rationale:
- Among stocks that already pass the probability and liquidity filters, sorting by predicted return highlights the ones with the strongest expected upside under the model.
- This directly aligns with your interest in maximizing potential short-term gains.
Why Results Match Your Request
You wanted stocks that could move up quickly with $1,000 to invest. The filters focus on:
- Short-term horizon (one-week probability and predicted return).
- Higher-probability setups (75%+ rise probability).
- Meaningful potential gain (≥4% predicted weekly return).
At the same time, they avoid the worst speculative traps by:
- Excluding tiny, illiquid penny stocks.
- Focusing on mid/large caps on major U.S. exchanges with solid dollar volume.
Important Note on Guarantees
- It is not possible to know in advance which stock will “rise the highest tomorrow” or guarantee quick profits.
- These filters instead tilt the odds in your favor based on historical patterns and models, but any individual trade can still lose money—especially with short-term speculation.
Within those limits, the criteria used are well aligned with your goal of seeking short-term upside with a $1,000 account.
