Important Note
No screen can guarantee which stocks will “surge” on a specific day (Wednesday or otherwise). What these filters do is tilt results toward stocks that, based on data and models, have a higher probability of a short‑term move up—not a certainty.
Screening Filters
volume: {'min': '500000'}
- Purpose: Include only actively traded stocks with at least 500,000 shares in daily volume.
- Rationale:
- A “surge” usually refers to a sharp price move that’s also tradeable—meaning you can get in and out without huge spreads or slippage.
- Higher volume implies better liquidity and that any move is supported by real market participation, not a thinly traded outlier.
region: ['United States']
- Purpose: Limit results to U.S.-listed stocks.
- Rationale:
- Many users asking broadly about “stocks that might surge” are implicitly referring to major, familiar markets.
- Focusing on one region keeps the dataset consistent in terms of trading hours, regulation, and data quality, which matters for short‑term prediction like “on Wednesday.”
news_driver: ['Positive']
- Purpose: Select stocks currently associated with positive news or sentiment.
- Rationale:
- Short‑term surges are often triggered by catalysts: earnings beats, upgrades, contract wins, regulatory approvals, etc.
- Filtering to “Positive” news drivers focuses on names where there is a plausible reason the stock could move up near term, aligning with your “expected to surge” intent.
one_day_rise_prob: {'min': '60'}
- Purpose: Require a model‑estimated probability of at least 60% that the stock’s price rises over the next trading day.
- Rationale:
- This is a direct probabilistic filter targeting the core of your question: which stocks are more likely than not to go up in the very short term.
- A 60%+ probability threshold is relatively strict—it eliminates many names with more “coin‑flip” odds.
one_day_predict_return: {'min': '4'}
- Purpose: Focus on stocks with a predicted one‑day return of at least +4%.
- Rationale:
- “Surge” implies not just going up, but going up meaningfully.
- A minimum expected move of +4% in one day is substantial for most liquid U.S. stocks and is consistent with the idea of a short‑term “pop” rather than a marginal gain.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The probability filter (
one_day_rise_prob >= 60) targets stocks that models see as more likely to rise tomorrow/next session, which corresponds to your “expected to surge on Wednesday” timeframe.
- The magnitude filter (
one_day_predict_return >= 4) ensures those candidates have a meaningful expected gain, matching the idea of a surge rather than a small uptick.
- The positive news condition adds a fundamental/flow-based catalyst, which is typically what drives sharp one‑day moves.
- The volume and U.S. region filters keep the list practical and tradeable in a major market during normal hours.
Overall, these filters don’t guarantee a surge, but they systematically narrow the universe to stocks with liquidity, a positive catalyst, and model‑estimated odds and size of a near‑term upward move that fit what you’re looking for.
