What other stocks would be good

Screening Filters

1. volume >= 1,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on actively traded stocks.
   • Rationale: Since you’re asking for other stocks “good” in the context of a prior screener and a selected name like NVDA, liquidity matters. High daily volume helps ensure the stock can be entered and exited efficiently, which is especially important for short-term trading and for names that may move quickly.

2. monthly_average_dollar_volume >= 50,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure the stock has strong underlying liquidity in dollar terms.
   • Rationale: Dollar volume is a better liquidity filter than share volume alone because it accounts for both price and trading activity. For a stock like NVDA and other comparable candidates, this helps surface names that are widely traded and less likely to have poor fills or wide spreads.

3. moving_average_relationship = PriceAboveMA20 or PriceBelowMA20

   • Purpose: Keep stocks that are near a meaningful short-term trend reference.
   • Rationale: The 20-day moving average is a common gauge for momentum and trend structure. Allowing either above or below the MA20 keeps the screen broad enough to include both bullish continuation setups and potential rebound/oversold setups, which fits the idea of finding “other stocks” similar in trading relevance to NVDA rather than requiring one specific directional bias.

4. region = US

   • Purpose: Restrict results to U.S. stocks.
   • Rationale: This keeps the screen consistent with U.S.-listed names that are easier to compare with NVDA, which is a U.S. large-cap stock. It also helps ensure the stocks are trading in the same market structure and session.

5. list_exchange = XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Limit results to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale: Stocks listed on NYSE, Nasdaq, or NYSE American are generally more liquid, more transparent, and more suitable for active trading. For a user looking for “other stocks” like NVDA, this avoids illiquid OTC or foreign listings.

6. news_driver = Positive or Negative

   • Purpose: Surface stocks that currently have a catalyst.
   • Rationale: If you’re looking for stocks that are “good” or potentially actionable, news flow matters. Positive or negative news-driven names are often the ones that attract attention, volatility, and volume—exactly the kind of setup traders often look for when comparing to a high-profile stock like NVDA.

7. is_optionable = True

   • Purpose: Include stocks with listed options.
   • Rationale: NVDA is heavily option-traded, so keeping the universe optionable is useful if the goal is to find similarly liquid, actively traded names. Options availability is also a sign of institutional interest and allows for more trading strategies.

8. option_unusual_activity = True

   • Purpose: Highlight stocks with notable options activity.
   • Rationale: Unusual options activity can indicate heightened interest, speculation, or a potential catalyst. This helps identify stocks that are getting attention similar to major market names like NVDA, making them more relevant for active traders.

Why Results Match

• The screen is built to find liquid, U.S.-listed, actively traded stocks that are suitable for short-term trading and comparison to NVDA.
• It balances trend context (price relative to the 20-day moving average) with catalyst/attention signals (news driver and unusual options activity).
• The volume and dollar-volume thresholds make sure the names are tradable and not thinly traded.
• The options filters are especially useful because NVDA is a highly followed, heavily optioned stock, so other stocks that also have option activity are more likely to be similarly actionable.
• Allowing both above and below MA20 keeps the result set broad enough to find both momentum names and pullback candidates, which is helpful if you want “other stocks” rather than only one strict setup.

If you want, I can also explain how this screen would differ if you wanted stocks most similar to NVDA specifically versus stocks that are just tradable like NVDA.
