Which stock is going to boom today

Screening Filters

1. relative_vol >= 1.5

• Purpose: Find stocks trading with above-normal activity.
• Rationale: If a stock is “going to boom today,” it usually needs strong participation from buyers and traders. Elevated relative volume helps identify names that are getting unusual attention, which often comes before or during sharp intraday moves.

2. PriceAboveMA5 / PriceAboveMA20 / PriceCrossAboveMA20

• Purpose: Identify stocks in a short-term uptrend or just breaking into one.
• Rationale:
  • PriceAboveMA5 shows very near-term strength.
  • PriceAboveMA20 confirms the stock is above a more meaningful short-term trend line.
  • PriceCrossAboveMA20 catches fresh breakouts, which are often the strongest “today” momentum candidates.
    Together, these filters focus on stocks that are already moving up or starting to turn bullish now.

3. price_change_pct >= 0

• Purpose: Keep stocks that are flat or positive on the day.
• Rationale: Since the user asked for stocks that may “boom today,” this filter excludes names already trading weakly on the session and favors stocks with positive intraday momentum.

Why These Filters Work Together

• The combination targets stocks with momentum, confirmation, and current buying interest.
• Relative volume finds the market’s most active names.
• Moving average filters make sure those names are not just noisy, but technically bullish.
• Positive price change ensures the screen is focused on stocks already showing strength today.

In short, these filters are appropriate because they look for stocks that are actively traded, trending upward, and already gaining on the day—the kind of setup most likely to produce a strong move today.
