Stock of the week - for swing trade ?

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $2,000,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies.
   • Rationale: For swing trading, mid‑ and large‑cap stocks tend to have tighter spreads, better liquidity, and more stable price behavior than very small caps. This reduces execution risk and wild, news-driven gaps that can easily hit stops.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure sufficient trading liquidity.
   • Rationale: High dollar volume (price × volume) means you can enter and exit positions without moving the market much and with tighter bid‑ask spreads. This is crucial for swing trades that may last only a few days to a couple of weeks.

3. RSI Category = “Moderate”

   • Purpose: Avoid extremely overbought or oversold conditions.
   • Rationale: For a typical swing trade, you often want stocks that are not already exhausted in one direction. A “moderate” RSI (neither very high nor very low) suggests room for a further move without being at an unsustainable extreme, fitting swing setups like breakouts or early trend continuations.

4. PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20-day Moving Average)

   • Purpose: Align trades with short‑term upward momentum.
   • Rationale: The 20‑day MA is a common swing‑trading reference for the short-term trend. Price trading above this line signals a bullish bias and ongoing buying pressure, which increases the odds that an upswing can continue over the coming days.

5. Region = United States

   • Purpose: Limit to a single, liquid, well-regulated market.
   • Rationale: U.S. markets offer high transparency, consistent trading hours, and vast coverage. This simplifies analysis for a trader looking for a swing setup “this week,” as news flow and data are easier to track.

6. Exchanges = XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Restrict to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale: These exchanges host the most liquid and actively traded names. Avoiding OTC or less-regulated venues reduces liquidity risks and odd pricing behavior that can derail short-term trades.

7. One-Week Rise Probability ≥ 60%

   • Purpose: Statistically tilt the list toward names more likely to rise over the next week.
   • Rationale: This uses a model-based estimate (from historical patterns, technicals, etc.) to preselect stocks where the probability of a 1-week gain is above average. While not a guarantee, it aligns directly with your time frame (“this week”) and the goal of capturing a short-term upswing.

Why Results Match Your Swing-Trade Objective

• The filters emphasize liquidity and tradability (market cap, dollar volume, major exchanges), which are essential for short-horizon trades.
• Technical conditions (price above 20-day MA + moderate RSI) focus on upward short-term trends that are not yet overstretched, which are ideal for swing entries.
• The one-week rise probability directly connects the screen to your desired 1-week swing trading horizon, biasing results toward stocks historically more likely to move up in that period.
• Focusing on U.S. large/mid-cap stocks provides a more stable and actionable universe for a swing trader looking for opportunities this week.
