Screening Filters
Price: min = 0.005, max = 0.30
- Purpose: Find very low‑priced (sub‑$0.30) U.S. stocks, while filtering out “trip-zero” junk.
- Rationale:
- Your request: “priced under $0.30 USD.” The
max = 0.30 directly enforces this.
- Setting a small minimum price (
0.005) avoids extremely illiquid, often non‑tradable “.0001” type tickers that are usually noise or shells, not realistic growth candidates.
Market Cap: min = 5,000,000
- Purpose: Exclude the most extreme micro‑caps and empty shells.
- Rationale:
- Ultra‑tiny companies (e.g., under a few million dollars in market cap) are often shells, distressed entities, or vehicles for manipulation.
- A floor of $5M helps keep the universe in the “cheap but at least somewhat substantive” range, which better matches “expected to grow soon” vs. pure lottery tickets.
Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20
- Purpose: Capture stocks that are already showing short‑term upward momentum.
- Rationale:
- “Expected to grow soon” is approximated by positive technical momentum.
- Price trading above its 20‑day moving average typically indicates:
- Recent trend is up or has turned up.
- Buyers are currently more aggressive than sellers.
- This doesn’t guarantee growth, but it’s a reasonable quantitative signal that the stock is in an early or ongoing upswing rather than in a clear downtrend.
1‑Month Price Change (%): min = 0, max = 300
- Purpose: Focus on stocks that have risen recently, but avoid extreme, potentially unstable spikes.
- Rationale:
min = 0: Ensures the stock is at least flat to up over the last month, which fits the idea of “expected to grow soon” better than names already falling sharply.
max = 300: Caps the move at +300% to exclude the most explosive, often speculative or manipulated jumps, where the risk of a sharp reversal is very high.
- Combined, this filter seeks recent positive performance without chasing the most parabolic moves.
Listing Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE
- Purpose: Limit results to stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges.
- Rationale:
- Your request specifies the US stock market.
XNYS = NYSE, XNAS = NASDAQ, XASE = NYSE American (formerly AMEX).
- These exchanges generally have higher listing standards and better liquidity than OTC markets, improving the quality and tradability of the candidates.
One‑Week Rise Probability: min = 55
- Purpose: Bias results toward stocks with a statistically higher probability (per the model used) of rising in the coming week.
- Rationale:
- “Expected to grow soon” is translated into a probabilistic, short‑term forecast.
- By requiring a ≥55% estimated probability of rising next week, the screener shifts the list toward names where the model sees slightly favorable odds versus a coin flip.
- This is not a guarantee—just a systematic way to tilt the screen toward near‑term upside potential.
Why Results Match Your Request
- They are U.S.-listed stocks only (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American), matching your “US stock market” requirement.
- All candidates are under $0.30 (but not ultra‑tiny fractions of a cent), aligning with your low price constraint.
- Filters on momentum (PriceAboveMA20), recent positive performance (1‑month change ≥ 0), and one‑week rise probability (≥55%) are all aimed at finding names that are already showing signs consistent with potential near‑term growth.
- The market cap floor and cap on extreme monthly spikes help avoid the most unstable, purely speculative tickers, giving you a more focused list of cheap stocks with some evidence—though never certainty—of upcoming strength.
