Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $10B (market_cap: {'min': '10000000000'})
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies.
- Rationale: For a “stock of the week,” you typically want ideas that are meaningful and more stable than small caps. Raising the market cap floor from $5B (for “stock of the day”) to $10B targets more mature, widely followed businesses where big weekly moves are more noteworthy and often news‑ or catalyst‑driven rather than pure speculation.
Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $1M (monthly_average_dollar_volume: {'min': '1000000'})
- Purpose: Ensure the stock is sufficiently liquid and tradable.
- Rationale: Liquidity reduces slippage and helps you get in and out more easily. Keeping a $1M+ dollar volume threshold avoids illiquid “thinly traded” names, making any “stock of the week” pick more practical for real trading.
RSI Category: Moderate (rsi_category: ['moderate'])
- Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold.
- Rationale: For a weekly idea, you don’t want something that’s already at an extreme (where a sharp mean‑reversion could hit soon). A “moderate” RSI means momentum is present but not yet stretched to risky levels, balancing upside potential with risk of a near‑term reversal.
Price Above 200‑Day Moving Average (moving_average_relationship: ['PriceAboveMA200'])
- Purpose: Focus on stocks in a clear long‑term uptrend.
- Rationale: The 200‑day MA is a widely used gauge of long‑term trend. Requiring price to be above it filters out names in downtrends or long bases, and highlights stocks where the bigger picture is bullish—appropriate for a “stock of the week” where you typically want to trade with the prevailing trend.
Weekly Price Change ≥ +10% (week_price_change_pct: {'min': '10'})
- Purpose: Capture stocks showing strong recent momentum over the past week.
- Rationale: Since you asked for “stock of the week,” the screen looks for names that are already making significant weekly moves (≥10%). This flags stocks that are “in play” right now—often due to earnings, news, or strong accumulation—rather than quiet, drifting names.
Why Results Match “Stock of the Week”:
- The timeframe is aligned: using weekly price change focuses on what’s moving this week, not just intraday or one‑day noise.
- The quality and tradability are controlled: large caps with decent dollar volume are more actionable and less prone to extreme manipulation.
- The trend and momentum are positive but not overly stretched: price above the 200‑day MA plus moderate RSI and strong weekly gains points to stocks in healthy uptrends that are currently outperforming, fitting the idea of a standout “stock of the week” candidate.
