Screening Filters
Price Above 200-Day Moving Average (moving_average_relationship = PriceAboveMA200)
- Purpose: Find stocks in a longer-term uptrend rather than those in clear downtrends.
- Rationale:
- The 200-day moving average is a widely watched measure of the long-term trend.
- If price is above this line, it suggests the stock has positive momentum and market confidence, which is a sensible starting point when you ask, “What should I buy right now?” rather than trying to catch falling knives.
Moderate RSI (rsi_category = moderate)
- Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold in the very short term.
- Rationale:
- A “moderate” RSI range usually means the stock isn’t at an emotional extreme.
- This helps reduce the risk of buying something that has just spiked (and may pull back) or something that’s collapsing (and may be in trouble), aligning better with a balanced “right now” entry.
S&P 500 Component (is_index_component = GSPC)
- Purpose: Restrict the search to large, established U.S. companies.
- Rationale:
- The S&P 500 (ticker symbol: ^GSPC) includes major, generally more liquid and more scrutinized companies.
- When someone asks what to buy “right now,” starting from this universe reduces exposure to extremely risky micro-caps and improves transparency, data quality, and overall stability.
Quarterly Revenue YoY Growth ≥ 5% (quarter_revenue_yoy_growth min = 5)
- Purpose: Ensure the company is still growing its business, not stagnating or shrinking.
- Rationale:
- Positive year-over-year revenue growth suggests demand for the company’s products/services is increasing.
- A minimum of 5% filters out companies with flat or negative growth, focusing on businesses with at least modest fundamental momentum—key for a buy decision today.
P/E (TTM) Between 10 and 35 (pe_ttm min = 10, max = 35)
- Purpose: Keep valuations within a “reasonable” band, avoiding both extremely cheap (often troubled) and excessively expensive (highly speculative) stocks.
- Rationale:
- A P/E below 10 can signal deep value or serious problems; above 35 often implies very high expectations and downside risk if growth disappoints.
- By focusing on 10–35, the filter seeks companies that the market values as healthy and growing, but not at bubble-like levels—again, appropriate for a prudent “right now” purchase.
Why the Results Match Your Question
- The filters combine trend (price above 200-day MA), short-term balance (moderate RSI), quality and scale (S&P 500 only), business growth (revenue up ≥ 5%), and sane valuation (P/E 10–35).
- Together, they aim to narrow the universe down to established, reasonably valued, growing companies in an uptrend that aren’t at extreme technical levels, which is a rational framework for identifying candidates to buy at the current moment.
