Screening Filters
Price: $0.50 – $5.00
- Purpose: Capture stocks that fit the common definition of “penny stocks” while excluding extremely illiquid sub‑pennies.
- Rationale: In the U.S., “penny stock” is often defined as under $5. Setting the range from $0.50 to $5:
- Ensures we’re actually looking at low‑priced stocks (your “pennies”).
- Avoids the most speculative names below $0.50 where spreads, manipulation, and delisting risk are often extreme.
Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20
- Purpose: Focus on penny stocks that are currently showing positive short‑term momentum.
- Rationale: Requiring the stock price to be above its 20‑day moving average:
- Filters out names in clear short‑term downtrends.
- Prioritizes stocks where buyers are currently in control, which can be a useful signal in a volatile segment like penny stocks.
Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)
- Purpose: Restrict results to U.S.‑listed penny stocks on major exchanges.
- Rationale: You asked for “US penny stocks.” Limiting to these exchanges:
- Ensures U.S. listings with stricter listing standards than OTC/pink sheets.
- Generally improves transparency, reporting quality, and liquidity versus many off‑exchange penny stocks.
One‑Week Rise Probability ≥ 60%
- Purpose: Emphasize names that, based on historical/statistical modeling, have a relatively higher chance of rising over the next week.
- Rationale: While nothing can guarantee a gain, a minimum 60% rise probability:
- Tries to tilt the list toward stocks with favorable short‑term patterns.
- Screens out names where recent behavior suggests more downside or random movement.
One‑Month Predicted Return ≥ 15%
- Purpose: Focus on penny stocks with strong modeled upside over the next month.
- Rationale: Setting a floor of +15% expected return:
- Targets stocks where the risk/reward appears attractive from a quantitative standpoint.
- Excludes low‑upside or flat names, aiming for “good” candidates in terms of potential payoff, recognizing that actual outcomes can differ.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The price filter makes sure you’re only seeing true U.S. penny stocks (under $5).
- The exchange filter ensures they are U.S.‑listed on major, more regulated exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American).
- The momentum (PriceAboveMA20) plus one‑week rise probability and one‑month predicted return collectively focus on penny stocks that not only fit the price/US criteria but also show favorable recent trends and modeled upside, aligning with your interest in “good” candidates to consider buying rather than just any cheap stock.
