First, an important clarification
No screener can guarantee a “stock of the day” that will definitely go up on a specific date (March 25–28). What we can do is filter for stocks that, based on historical behavior and quantitative models, have a higher probability of rising or performing relatively well on a given day. The filters below are designed to approximate that idea in a disciplined way.
Screening Filters
market_cap: min 5,000,000,000 (≥ $5B)
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies.
- Rationale:
- Large-cap stocks tend to have more stable business models and better information transparency.
- For a “stock of the day,” you typically want names where big, unexpected liquidity or manipulation is less likely, and where price moves are somewhat more predictable and modelable.
- This avoids tiny or speculative stocks whose moves are mostly noise or hype rather than analyzable patterns.
weekly_average_dollar_volume: min 2,000,000 (≥ $2M traded per week)
- Purpose: Ensure the stocks are sufficiently liquid.
- Rationale:
- Higher dollar volume means it’s easier to enter and exit positions near the quoted price without large slippage.
- For a day-focused idea, liquidity is critical—illiquid names might move sharply on small orders or be hard to trade, which is not ideal for a “stock of the day” pick.
- This filter screens out thinly traded stocks that might look good on paper but are impractical to trade.
rsi_category: ["moderate"]
- Purpose: Target stocks that are not extremely overbought or oversold, based on RSI (Relative Strength Index).
- Rationale:
- “Moderate” RSI avoids names that are already very stretched to the upside (overbought, where a pullback is more likely) or panic-sold (oversold, where near-term direction can be volatile and uncertain).
- For a short-term “stock of the day,” moderate RSI aims for a balance: decent momentum, but not so extended that a sharp reversal becomes the main risk.
moving_average_relationship: ["PriceAboveMA20"]
- Purpose: Require the current price to be above its 20-day moving average.
- Rationale:
- Price above the 20-day MA is a common definition of a short-term uptrend.
- This aligns directly with the idea of finding candidates that may continue to perform well over the next trading day(s), including March 25–28.
- It helps avoid stocks that are in clear downtrends, which are statistically less likely to be “stock of the day” winners on average.
list_exchange: ["XNYS", "XNAS", "XASE"]
- Purpose: Limit results to major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American).
- Rationale:
- These exchanges list more regulated, higher-quality, and more liquid securities.
- Data quality and reliability (for pricing, volume, corporate news) are generally higher, which improves the robustness of any probability or technical models.
- This is consistent with the goal of presenting realistic daily candidates rather than obscure, hard-to-trade listings.
one_day_rise_prob: min 65 (≥ 65% modeled probability of rising in one day)
- Purpose: Prioritize stocks with a statistically higher probability of closing up the next day.
- Rationale:
- This directly addresses your “stock of the day” idea: we’re explicitly filtering for names where a model estimates at least a 65% chance of a positive daily return.
- The model typically uses historical prices, volatility, patterns, and possibly other factors to estimate that probability.
- It’s not a guarantee, but it systematically pushes the list toward names with a favorable short-term edge, which is exactly what you want for a specific date window like March 25–28.
Why These Results Match Your Request
- You asked for a “stock of the day” for specific dates (March 25–28). The filters:
- Focus on liquid, large-cap names (market cap & dollar volume), making any suggested stocks realistically tradable on those days.
- Require a short-term uptrend (PriceAboveMA20) while avoiding extremes (moderate RSI), increasing the odds of follow-through rather than abrupt reversals.
- Use an explicit probability screen (
one_day_rise_prob ≥ 65%) to surface stocks that statistically have a better-than-random chance of a positive daily move around the dates you care about.
- Restrict to major U.S. exchanges, ensuring higher-quality and more stable candidates.
Overall, the screener isn’t predicting the single best performer with certainty, but it’s designed to narrow down to a small set of strong, liquid, statistically favored candidates that are realistic contenders for a “stock of the day” in the March 25–28 window.
