Question 1

How does AI screening help day traders compared to traditional stock scanners?

Accepted Answer

Traditional stock scanners primarily surface technical signals — price breakouts, unusual volume, or momentum indicators. Pineify's AI stock screener takes a different approach: it applies fundamental filters (market cap, P/E ratio, dividend yield) alongside liquidity criteria, then enriches every result with real-time quote data including day range, 50/200-day moving averages, and analyst estimates. This gives day traders both the technical context they need for entry timing AND the fundamental picture to avoid trading stocks with poor underlying health.

Question 2

What volume filter works best for day trading in this screener?

Accepted Answer

Day traders should set the minimum volume filter to at least 500,000 shares, with 1,000,000+ being ideal for active intraday strategies. Higher volume ensures tighter bid-ask spreads, faster order execution, and lower slippage on both entry and exit. The screener lets you set your own volume threshold so you can adjust based on your capital size and trading frequency.

Question 3

Does the AI screener support pre-market or after-hours scanning?

Accepted Answer

The screener operates on daily market data rather than real-time extended-hours feeds. However, the enriched quote data includes the previous close, day range, and average volume — which can inform pre-market and after-hours analysis. For true extended-hours scanning, you would typically need a dedicated brokerage platform. Pineify shines during regular market hours with its batch enrichment and real-time quote integration.

Question 4

What data enrichment is most useful for day trading decisions?

Accepted Answer

For day traders, the most valuable enriched data fields are: current price and day range (high/low) to gauge intraday movement, 50-day and 200-day moving averages to identify trend direction, volume vs. average volume to spot unusual activity, EPS and P/E to ensure fundamental support, and analyst estimates to understand institutional sentiment. All of these load instantly when you run the screener.

Question 5

How does the AI score evaluate stocks specifically for day trading?

Accepted Answer

The AI 1-10 score for day trading evaluates liquidity quality (volume relative to average, bid-ask spread proxies), price trend consistency (moving average alignment), volatility suitability (day range relative to price), and fundamental health (P/E, earnings stability). A stock scoring 8 or higher has the liquidity, trend structure, and fundamental support needed for reliable intraday setups. Lower-scoring stocks may have thin volume, erratic price action, or weak fundamentals that add unnecessary risk for day trading.

Question 6

What market cap is ideal for day trading stocks?

Accepted Answer

The preset configuration uses a $300 million market cap minimum as a baseline, which covers small cap and above. However, experienced day traders may prefer $2 billion+ (mid cap and above) for tighter spreads and lower gap risk at open. The screener's market cap filter lets you choose any threshold, so you can tune it to match your risk tolerance and trading style.

Question 7

Can I combine day trading filters with sector selection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sector filter lets you narrow your day trading screen to specific sectors like Technology or Financial Services. This is particularly useful if you specialize in certain industries or if you want to focus on sectors that tend to have higher intraday volatility, such as technology and consumer cyclical stocks.
