What ETF do I buy right now?

Screening Filters

1. volume: min 0

   • Purpose: Include all tradable ETFs, regardless of current trading activity.
   • Rationale: The user asked “what ETF do I buy right now?” so the screener should not unnecessarily exclude ETFs based on liquidity at the filter stage. A minimum of 0 keeps the universe broad and ensures potentially relevant ETFs are not missed.

2. rsi_category: moderate

   • Purpose: Focus on ETFs that are not extremely overbought or oversold.
   • Rationale: A “moderate” RSI helps identify ETFs that may be in a more neutral technical state, which is often preferable when looking for a current buy candidate rather than something already stretched.

3. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA20, PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Find ETFs trading above both short-term and long-term trend lines.
   • Rationale: Price above the 20-day moving average suggests near-term momentum is positive, while price above the 200-day moving average indicates the broader trend is bullish. Together, these filters help surface ETFs that are in established uptrends, which is a common requirement for a timely buy.

4. month_price_change_pct: min 0

   • Purpose: Require positive monthly performance.
   • Rationale: This filter looks for ETFs that have at least been flat or rising over the past month. It helps align with the idea of buying something that is currently showing strength.

5. quarter_price_change_pct: min 0

   • Purpose: Require positive performance over the past quarter.
   • Rationale: A positive quarter return helps confirm that the ETF’s strength is not just a short-term fluctuation. This supports finding ETFs with a more durable upward trend.

6. stock_position_pct: MoreThan90Pct

   • Purpose: Select ETFs trading near the top of their recent price range.
   • Rationale: ETFs above the 90th percentile of their range are near highs, which often indicates strong momentum and market leadership. For a “buy right now” query, this can help identify strong candidates that the market is actively favoring.

Why These Results Match

• The filter set is designed to find ETFs with positive trend, momentum, and relative strength.
• Combining price above key moving averages, positive month and quarter returns, and high position within the recent range helps surface ETFs that are currently strong, which is consistent with asking what to buy right now.
• The moderate RSI helps avoid extremely overextended names, making the results somewhat more balanced rather than only chasing the most stretched winners.
• Overall, these filters aim to identify ETFs that are trending upward, supported by recent performance, and not obviously in a weak technical condition.
