What stocks are going to go up today

We can’t know for sure which stocks will go up today, but we can use filters that tilt the odds toward stocks with stronger recent momentum, higher activity, and model-estimated upside for the day. Here’s how each filter works.

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $3,000,000,000 (Large/Mid Caps)

   • Purpose: Focus on more established, liquid companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Larger-cap stocks tend to have tighter bid–ask spreads and more reliable price discovery.
     • Price moves in these names are less likely to be caused purely by illiquidity or random spikes, making short-term signals (like volume and moving averages) more meaningful.
     • This reduces the chance you’re looking at thinly traded penny stocks that “jump” for no fundamental reason.

2. Relative Volume ≥ 1.5

   • Purpose: Capture stocks trading with at least 50% higher volume than their normal level.
   • Rationale:
     • Elevated volume often signals increased interest, news, or institutional activity.
     • Price moves with strong volume behind them are generally more credible and more likely to continue in the short term.
     • For a stock “likely to increase today,” you want unusual activity, not sleepy, low-volume names.

3. PriceAboveMA20 (Price above 20‑day moving average)

   • Purpose: Filter for short-term uptrends or positive momentum.
   • Rationale:
     • The 20-day moving average is a common short-term trend indicator.
     • If the current price is above the 20-day MA, the stock is in a short-term uptrend, suggesting buying pressure has been dominant recently.
     • Stocks already in an uptrend are statistically more likely to continue higher in the very near term than those in downtrends.

4. One_day_rise_prob ≥ 70%

   • Purpose: Select stocks where a predictive model estimates at least a 70% chance of finishing the day higher.
   • Rationale:
     • This is an explicit attempt to match your request: “likely to increase in value today.”
     • The filter uses historical data, price action, volatility, volume, and other factors (depending on the model) to estimate the probability of a positive daily return.
     • Setting a 70% threshold focuses on setups where the model sees meaningfully better-than-coin-flip odds.

5. One_day_predict_return ≥ 1.5%

   • Purpose: Ensure the expected gain (not just the probability of any small uptick) is meaningful, at least +1.5% for the day.
   • Rationale:
     • A stock may have a high probability of being slightly positive, but the move could be tiny (e.g., +0.1%).
     • This filter requires that the model’s forecasted one-day return is at least 1.5%, combining probability and magnitude of the potential move.
     • It narrows the list to stocks that are not only likely to go up, but also expected to move enough to matter.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The probability and predicted return filters directly target “likely to increase in value today” by using model-based estimates for both likelihood and size of the move.
• Trend (price above 20-day MA) ensures you’re looking at stocks already in short-term uptrends instead of trying to “catch a falling knife.”
• High relative volume focuses on names with strong current interest, supporting the idea that today’s move has backing from real trading activity.
• Minimum market cap filters out extremely risky microcaps and illiquid names, making any identified opportunities more credible and investable.

Taken together, these filters don’t guarantee gains, but they systematically search for larger, liquid stocks with strong recent momentum, unusual activity, and model-estimated positive returns specifically for today, which is exactly the kind of profile you asked for.
