Screening Filters
price: min 0.10, max 10.00
- Purpose: Limit results to “low-priced” stocks under $10, while excluding ultra-illiquid sub-penny names.
- Rationale:
- Your question explicitly asks for “stocks under $10.00,” so the max is set to 10.
- A small minimum (0.10) is added to avoid extremely low-priced or nearly worthless tickers (e.g., $0.01), which often have erratic moves and poor liquidity, making “surges” less meaningful or tradable.
monthly_average_dollar_volume: min 200,000
- Purpose: Ensure the “surging” stocks are reasonably liquid and tradable.
- Rationale:
- You likely want stocks that you can realistically buy and sell without huge slippage.
- A minimum average dollar volume of $200k per month filters out the most illiquid microcaps where a small order can move the price a lot, giving a misleading impression of “surging.”
week_price_change_pct: min 10
- Purpose: Capture stocks that are currently “surging” in price.
- Rationale:
- “Surging now” is translated into a recent strong move; here, at least +10% over the past week.
- This focuses on names with noticeable recent upside momentum instead of small, noise-level moves.
list_exchange: [XNYS, XNAS, XASE]
- Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American).
- Rationale:
- Your question is about the “US market,” and these are the primary U.S. stock exchanges.
- This avoids OTC and pink-sheet stocks, which are often less regulated, less liquid, and more prone to extreme price manipulation.
Why Results Match Your Request
- Under $10.00: The price filter (max 10) directly enforces your price ceiling.
- “Surging now”: The weekly price change filter (≥ +10%) targets stocks that have recently moved up significantly, aligning with the idea of “surging.”
- US market only: The exchange filter confines results to major U.S. exchanges, matching your geographic focus.
- Tradable, not just “moving”: The dollar volume filter helps ensure you see stocks where the surge is backed by some real trading activity, not just illiquid spikes.
