What are the cheapest

How the Screener Matches Your Request

You asked for “the cheapest stocks based on the previous screener criteria.”
The filters used here are exactly the same criteria as your prior “top penny stocks to buy today” screener. The only extra step needed to satisfy “cheapest” is to sort those results by price (ascending), i.e., show the lowest-priced names first.

So:

• The filters keep the same quality, liquidity, and setup requirements as before.
• The “cheapest” part is handled by sorting within that universe by share price.

Screening Filters

1. Price: 0.10 – 5.00

   • Purpose: Limit the universe to penny stocks / very low‑priced stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • Keeps you in the “cheap stock” range you’ve been targeting.
     • The lower bound (0.10) avoids extremely illiquid, sub‑penny, or nearly defunct names that often trade below $0.10.
     • The upper bound (5.00) is a common practical definition for penny stocks and matches your prior “top penny stocks” request.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume: ≥ 500,000

   • Purpose: Ensure minimum liquidity so you can realistically trade in and out.
   • Rationale:
     • Filters out thinly traded names where spreads are huge and orders can move the price dramatically.
     • A dollar-volume floor of $500k/month is modest but enough to eliminate many untradable “dead” penny stocks.

3. Relative Volume: ≥ 1.5

   • Purpose: Focus on stocks trading at at least 1.5× their normal volume today.
   • Rationale:
     • Elevated volume often signals unusual interest, news, or momentum—useful for short‑term and day‑trading style setups.
     • Among cheap stocks, this helps separate “active opportunities” from names that are just sitting still.

4. RSI Category: moderate

   • Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold on RSI.
   • Rationale:
     • “Moderate” RSI typically means the price isn’t at an extreme where a sharp reversal is more likely.
     • For “penny stocks to buy today,” this is a risk‑control measure: you’re not chasing parabolic moves, nor catching falling knives.

5. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20

   • Purpose: Require that price is above its 20‑day moving average, a simple short‑term uptrend filter.
   • Rationale:
     • Signals that, on average over the last month, the trend is up or improving, not in a clear downtrend.
     • For “to buy today,” this aligns you with positive short‑term momentum instead of fighting it.

6. Exchanges: XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Restrict to major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American).
   • Rationale:
     • These exchanges have higher listing standards and better transparency vs. OTC or pink sheets.
     • Reduces exposure to the lowest‑quality, least regulated penny stocks while still giving you cheap names.

7. One‑Day Predicted Return: ≥ 0

   • Purpose: Only include stocks where the model’s short‑term signal is non‑negative (no outright bearish prediction).
   • Rationale:
     • Aligns with “to buy today”: you’re not looking for names the model expects to drop.
     • Among cheap, liquid, active stocks, this attempts to tilt you toward situations with at least a neutral‑to‑positive expected move.

Why These Results Match Your New Question

• You explicitly said “based on the previous screener criteria”, and these filters exactly preserve that prior setup (cheap, liquid, active, mild momentum bias).
• “Cheapest” is addressed by sorting the resulting list by price ascending within this filtered universe of penny stocks that still meet liquidity and basic trend/RSI conditions.
• This gives you very low‑priced names that:
  • Trade enough volume to enter/exit;
  • Are seeing elevated interest today;
  • Are not at extreme RSI levels;
  • Are above their 20‑day moving average;
  • Do not have a negative 1‑day model signal.

If you’d like, the next logical step is: same filters, but explicitly sort by price (ascending) and show the bottom X names—those would be your “cheapest” within this strategy.
