Screening Filters
Price: 0.20 – 2.00 USD
- Purpose: Directly target low-priced stocks under $2.
- Rationale:
- The user wants “stocks under 2 dollars,” so the maximum price of 2 is the core constraint.
- The minimum price of 0.20 helps avoid extremely illiquid “trip-zero” penny stocks (e.g., $0.01–$0.05) that can be highly speculative, easily manipulated, and hard to trade in size.
Market Cap: ≥ 50,000,000 USD
- Purpose: Filter out the tiniest, riskiest microcaps while still staying in the low-priced universe.
- Rationale:
- Many sub-$2 names are microcaps or “nano-caps” with very small market caps, which can be extremely volatile and prone to pump-and-dump dynamics.
- Requiring at least $50M market cap keeps you in the more established end of the low-price space—still risky, but generally with more real operations, filings, and investor attention than ultra-tiny shells.
Monthly Average Dollar Volume: ≥ 500,000 USD
- Purpose: Ensure the stocks are reasonably tradable and not purely illiquid “dead” tickers.
- Rationale:
- “Stocks to look out for” implies names you can realistically trade in and out of.
- A minimum $500K in average monthly dollar volume means at least some consistent buying and selling activity, which:
- Reduces the odds of extreme slippage when entering/exiting.
- Suggests actual market interest rather than just a stagnant listing.
RSI Category: Moderate
- Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold in the short term.
- Rationale:
- A moderate RSI (typically around 40–60) screens out:
- Overbought names that may have just spiked and could be at risk of a pullback.
- Severely oversold names that may be in free fall or experiencing serious negative catalysts.
- This helps surface stocks that are not at technical extremes—often more stable “watchlist” candidates where you can monitor for better entry signals rather than chasing extremes.
1-Month Price Change: 0% – 50%
- Purpose: Focus on stocks showing some recent strength, but not wild spikes.
- Rationale:
- A minimum of 0% removes stocks that are down over the past month, leaning toward names that are at least holding or improving.
- A maximum of 50% excludes ultra-parabolic moves that may be driven by hype, news spikes, or short squeezes—often the least stable “to look out for” if you’re thinking beyond short-term speculation.
- This range supports the idea of “interesting, potentially improving” low-priced stocks without going into extreme momentum territory.
Why the Results Match Your Request
- The price filter (≤ $2) directly implements your key requirement: low-priced stocks.
- The market cap and dollar volume filters refine that universe to names that are more legitimate and tradeable, avoiding the worst of the illiquid penny-stock space.
- The RSI and 1-month performance filters focus on stocks that:
- Are not in technical distress,
- Have shown some recent positive or stable behavior,
- But haven’t already exploded in a way that’s statistically unsustainable.
Together, these filters aim to surface sub-$2 stocks that are liquid enough, somewhat established, and technically reasonable candidates to watch, rather than the most speculative or unstable names in the low-price universe.
