Stocks under 2$

Screening Filters

1. price: min 0, max 2

   • Purpose: To find stocks trading at or below $2 per share.
   • Rationale:
     • Your request is specifically for “stocks under $2.”
     • Setting the price range from 0 to 2 ensures we capture all stocks priced at $2 or less (including very low‑priced “penny stocks”).
     • This is the core filter that directly implements your price requirement.

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

   • Purpose: To restrict results to major U.S. exchanges:
     • XNYS = NYSE (New York Stock Exchange)
     • XNAS = NASDAQ
     • XASE = NYSE American (formerly AMEX)
   • Rationale:
     • You asked for stocks “in the US market,” which is typically understood as stocks listed on U.S. exchanges.
     • These three are the primary U.S. stock exchanges where most U.S.-listed companies trade.
     • Limiting to these exchanges helps avoid illiquid or less-regulated OTC/pink-sheet securities, which often carry higher risks and worse transparency.

Why Results Match:

• The price filter (0–2) directly targets your “under $2” requirement.
• The exchange filter (XNYS, XNAS, XASE) aligns with “US market” by focusing on the main U.S. stock exchanges.

Note on Coverage:

• We do not include OTC or pink sheet markets in these filters. If by “US market” you also meant OTC stocks under $2, that specific segment isn’t covered by these filters.
• However, for most investors, focusing on NYSE, NASDAQ, and NYSE American is a practical and safer way to search for U.S. stocks under $2, due to better regulation, reporting standards, and liquidity.
