Top loosers today

Screening Filters

1. price_change_pct: { max: -3 }

   • Purpose: Selects stocks that have declined at least 3% in price during today’s trading session.
   • Rationale:
     • “Top losers” refers to stocks that have dropped significantly in percentage terms today.
     • By setting a maximum price change of -3%, we filter out small or insignificant moves and focus on stocks with a meaningful negative move.
     • This ensures the list is composed of stocks that are clearly underperforming today, which aligns with the idea of "losers" on the day.

2. region: ["United States"]

   • Purpose: Restricts the results to stocks listed in the U.S. market.
   • Rationale:
     • The user explicitly asked for “the US stock market,” so we must exclude non‑US listings.
     • This filter ensures that only U.S. exchanges (e.g., NYSE, NASDAQ) are included, making the result set geographically accurate.

Why Results Match:

• The region filter ensures we’re only looking at the U.S. stock market, as requested.
• The price_change_pct ≤ -3% filter focuses on stocks that are notably down today, which is consistent with finding “top losers.” While it doesn’t literally sort and return only the single worst performers, it captures the universe of significant decliners from which top losers are drawn.
