Screening Filters
Price: min $0.10, max $1.00
- Purpose: Focus only on low-priced (sub‑$1) stocks, while avoiding the most extreme penny/OTC names.
- Rationale: You asked for stocks under $1, so the ceiling is set at $1. The $0.10 floor helps filter out ultra‑illiquid “triple‑zero” names that are often hard to trade and subject to extreme manipulation, making them less practical for short‑term trading.
Volume: minimum 1,000,000 shares
- Purpose: Ensure high liquidity so you can enter and exit short‑term trades more easily.
- Rationale: For short‑term gains, you need active trading and tight(er) spreads. A 1M+ share volume filter screens out thinly traded penny stocks where your orders might move the price too much or take too long to fill.
Relative Volume: minimum 1.5
- Purpose: Find stocks currently trading with significantly more volume than usual.
- Rationale: Relative volume ≥ 1.5 means the stock is seeing at least 50% more activity than its normal average. This often indicates fresh news, catalysts, or heightened trader interest—conditions that typically increase volatility and potential for short‑term price moves.
RSI Category: “moderate”
- Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold.
- Rationale: A moderate RSI (often around the middle range, not at extremes) suggests the stock isn’t already stretched in one direction. For short‑term gains, this can be useful because:
- You’re not chasing something that’s already extremely overbought (higher risk of a pullback).
- You’re not catching a knife in something extremely oversold without confirmation of a turn.
1‑Week Price Change: minimum +5%
- Purpose: Target stocks already showing recent upward momentum.
- Rationale: A gain of at least 5% over the past week indicates positive short‑term trend or momentum. For traders seeking short‑term gains, recent strength is often preferred to stocks that are flat or declining.
Why Results Match Your Request
- All stocks are priced under $1, matching your price requirement while avoiding the least tradable extremes.
- High volume and elevated relative volume focus on actively traded names, which are more suitable for short‑term in‑and‑out strategies.
- A moderate RSI keeps you away from the most overextended names, reducing the chance you’re buying at an unsustainable spike.
- A positive 1‑week performance (≥ +5%) emphasizes stocks already moving up, aligning with the goal of finding candidates with recent momentum for potential short‑term gains.
