Screening Filters
monthly_average_dollar_volume ≥ 3,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure high liquidity for intraday trading.
- Rationale: For day trading you need tight spreads and the ability to enter/exit quickly with size. A minimum $3M in average daily dollar volume screens out illiquid names where slippage would be large, making them poor substitutes for trading something as deep and liquid as XAUUSD.
relative_vol ≥ 1.5
- Purpose: Focus on tickers that are unusually active today.
- Rationale: Day traders look for names with higher-than-normal volume because that’s where intraday volatility and tradeable moves usually are. A relative volume of at least 1.5 means the stock is trading at 150%+ of its typical volume, suggesting fresh catalysts and better intraday ranges—closer to the kind of action you’d look for when day trading XAUUSD itself.
rsi_category: “moderate”
- Purpose: Avoid names that are already extremely overbought or oversold.
- Rationale: For short-term buys, an extremely high RSI can indicate a blow‑off move with high reversal risk, while extremely low RSI can point to a “falling knife.” Targeting a moderate RSI keeps you in names with momentum potential but that haven’t yet reached exhaustion, which is more suitable for tactical day trades.
moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA5
- Purpose: Capture very short-term bullish bias.
- Rationale: A price above the 5‑day moving average means the micro‑trend is up, aligning with your idea of buying (not shorting). For day trading, you usually want the higher time‑frame (even if just a few days) to lean in your direction; this helps you focus on potential long setups instead of fighting the short-term tape.
themes: “Gold Mining and Precious Metals”
- Purpose: Tie stock ideas directly to gold/XAUUSD exposure.
- Rationale: You asked about day trading XAUUSD; since this screener works on stocks, the closest proxy is gold miners and precious metals stocks, which are highly sensitive to gold price moves and often react with greater percentage swings. This gives you equity instruments whose intraday behavior is strongly influenced by the same drivers as XAUUSD.
region: US
- Purpose: Restrict to a major, liquid, and widely accessible market.
- Rationale: US-listed gold and precious metals stocks are among the most actively traded globally, with reliable market structure and extended trading hours. This makes them more practical for many traders as equity analogs to day trading gold.
list_exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE
- Purpose: Limit results to primary, reputable US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX).
- Rationale: These exchanges typically have better liquidity, tighter spreads, and more stringent listing standards than OTC markets. For day trading, that reduces execution risk and odd trading behavior, keeping the experience closer to what you’d expect when trading a major FX/commodity pair like XAUUSD.
Why Results Match Your Intent
- The theme filter aligns the universe with gold and precious metals, so you’re looking at stocks that move with XAUUSD.
- The liquidity and exchange filters (dollar volume, region, exchanges) make the candidates practical for fast in‑and‑out day trades, similar to trading the underlying metal.
- The technical filters (relative volume, RSI moderate, price above MA5) select names that are:
- active today,
- not yet in an exhaustion zone,
- and currently in a short-term uptrend—conditions that better support the idea of buying for short-term/day-trade style moves tied to gold’s behavior.
