Stocks under 1 dollar

Screening Filters

1. price: { min: 0, max: 1 }

   • Purpose: To find stocks whose last traded price is between $0 and $1 per share.
   • Rationale:
     • The user specifically asked for “stocks trading under 1 dollar”.
     • Setting the maximum price to 1 ensures only stocks priced at $1.00 or less are included.
     • Setting the minimum price to 0 excludes any negative or invalid prices and captures all ultra‑low‑priced stocks, including those under $0.50, $0.10, etc.
     • This directly implements the “under $1” condition in the query.

2. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE']

   • Purpose: To limit results to stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges:
     • XNYS – New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
     • XNAS – NASDAQ
     • XASE – NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
   • Rationale:
     • The user requested stocks in the US stock market. These three codes cover the primary U.S. listing exchanges where most U.S. equities trade.
     • This filter excludes OTC (over‑the‑counter) or foreign exchanges, keeping the list focused on mainstream, regulated U.S. markets that most investors mean when they say “US stock market.”

Why Results Match:

• The price filter (0–1) directly implements the “trading under 1 dollar” requirement by capping the stock price at $1.
• The exchange filter (XNYS, XNAS, XASE) aligns with “US stock market” by restricting results to the major U.S. exchanges.

Together, these filters give you a list of U.S.-listed stocks on major exchanges that are currently priced at $1 or below, which is exactly what your query requested.
