Basic Short Squeeze Screen
Aimed at identifying stocks with the foundational characteristics of a potential short squeeze, using basic filters like short float%, short interest, minimum price and average daily volume.
Mastering Short Interest: Trading Strategies and High-Potential Opportunities
An important metric in finding short squeeze setups is the short interest ratio. In recent years, it has gained widespread attention among traders and investors, especially following the dramatic events of the "meme stock" phenomenon.
Short Interest: Short Float % Above 10
High short interest is critical for identifying stocks with a greater likelihood of a short squeeze.
Exchange: US Only
Limiting the screen to US stocks helps focus on a specific and active market.
Outstanding Shares and Float: Float < 20M
Targets stocks with a smaller share float, a key factor in identifying potential short squeeze candidates due to limited supply.
Price: Above 3
Refers to the stock price being greater than $3, which avoids extremely low-priced stocks (often riskier or less liquid).
Price: Below 100
Restricts the screen to stocks priced under $100, focusing on mid-range stocks rather than high-priced equities.
Average Volume: 50 SMA > 300K
Ensures adequate liquidity by filtering for stocks with a minimum average daily trading volume above 300,000 shares.
