Swingmax recommendation stocks

Screening Filters

1. relative_vol min 1.2

• Purpose: Find stocks trading with above-average volume.
• Rationale: SwingMax-style trades work best when there is enough participation and momentum for price moves to develop quickly. A relative volume above 1.2 helps surface stocks that are actively being traded, which improves the odds of a tradable swing setup.

2. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA5, PriceAboveMA20

• Purpose: Identify stocks with short-term bullish price structure.
• Rationale: For SwingMax recommendations, you generally want stocks already showing upward momentum rather than ones still weakening. Trading above both the 5-day and 20-day moving averages suggests the stock is trending higher in the short term and has enough strength to support a momentum-based entry.

3. rsi_category: moderate

• Purpose: Avoid extremely overbought or deeply oversold names.
• Rationale: Swing trades are often best when momentum is healthy but not stretched. A moderate RSI helps screen for stocks that still have room to run without being too overheated, while also avoiding names that may be too weak for an immediate bounce.

4. macd: positive, bullish

• Purpose: Confirm upward momentum and trend acceleration.
• Rationale: MACD in positive/bullish territory is a classic signal that trend strength is supporting the move. This is especially useful for SwingMax because it helps isolate stocks where momentum is not only present but also improving.

5. is_optionable: True

• Purpose: Restrict results to stocks with listed options.
• Rationale: Optionable stocks usually have better liquidity and tighter spreads, which often correlate with more tradable names. Since swing-oriented traders frequently use options for leverage or hedging, this filter keeps the results relevant to active trading setups.

6. option_sentiments: Bullish

• Purpose: Use options market positioning to confirm trader sentiment.
• Rationale: Bullish options sentiment adds a layer of confirmation that other market participants are positioning for upside. For a SwingMax recommendation list, this helps prioritize stocks with both technical strength and supportive derivative-market sentiment.

Why Results Match:

• The filters are built to find short-term momentum stocks, which is exactly what SwingMax-style screening needs.
• They combine trend confirmation (price above key moving averages, bullish MACD) with participation and conviction (relative volume, bullish options sentiment).
• The moderate RSI avoids names that are too extended, improving the chance of finding stocks with still-usable upside.
• Requiring optionability makes the list more practical for active trading strategies.

In short, these filters are well-suited for finding liquid, technically strong, bullish stocks with supportive sentiment—the most relevant setup for a SwingMax recommendation screen.
