Tech stocks bullish today

Screening Filters

1. sector: ['Software & IT Services', 'Technology', 'Technology Equipment', 'Telecommunications Services']

   • Purpose: Restrict results to broad technology-related sectors.
   • Rationale: The user explicitly wants “tech stocks.” These sector labels cover core technology areas (software, general tech, hardware/equipment, and telecom as a tech-adjacent sector), ensuring we’re not pulling in financials, industrials, etc.

2. industry: ['Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment', 'Software & IT Services', 'Communications & Networking', 'Integrated Hardware & Software']

   • Purpose: Further narrow the universe to specific tech-heavy industries.
   • Rationale: Within tech sectors, these industries are strongly associated with technology businesses (chips, software, networking, integrated tech systems). This reduces noise from less “pure” tech names that might reside in broad tech sectors.

3. option_sentiments: ['Bullish']

   • Purpose: Capture stocks with currently bullish options sentiment.
   • Rationale: This directly targets the user’s request for “bullish sentiment today.” Bullish options flow (e.g., more call buying, positive skews) is a common real-time sentiment measure, so this filter operationalizes “bullish sentiment.”

4. relative_vol: {'min': '1.2'}

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks trading with higher-than-normal volume.
   • Rationale: A relative volume above 1.2 means the stock is trading at least 20% more volume than usual. Elevated volume often accompanies meaningful moves and active sentiment, increasing confidence that the “bullish sentiment” is actually playing out in today’s trading.

5. moving_average_relationship: ['PriceAboveMA20']

   • Purpose: Ensure the stock’s current price is in a short-term uptrend.
   • Rationale: Price above the 20-day moving average is a classic technical sign of recent strength. Combining this with bullish sentiment aligns both technicals and sentiment in a bullish direction, consistent with the user’s intent.

6. price_change_pct: {'min': '0.01'}

   • Purpose: Require the stock to be up at least 1% today.
   • Rationale: If the sentiment is truly bullish “today,” we’d typically expect some positive price reaction. This filter screens out flat or down stocks so results are actually moving up on the day.

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

   • Purpose: Limit to major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American).
   • Rationale: These exchanges generally have better liquidity, transparency, and data quality. It keeps the results focused on more established, tradable tech stocks rather than obscure OTC or foreign listings.

Why Results Match:

• The sector and industry filters tightly define “tech stocks.”
• Option_sentiments: Bullish, price_change_pct > 1%, and PriceAboveMA20 collectively capture stocks showing bullish sentiment and price action today.
• Relative volume > 1.2 confirms that today’s bullishness is happening on stronger-than-usual trading activity.
• Major-exchange listing ensures the names are mainstream and investable for most users.
