Metaverse Stock Screening by Opening Gap and Intraday Return

Summary

This stock screen targets companies in the metaverse sector. It selects shares whose opening price is less than 6% above the previous close and whose close is above the open, giving a positive intraday return. The article presents both a formula-style description and a Python example for applying the conditions to sector stocks.

The accompanying discussion frames the gap ceiling as a way to avoid selecting stocks after a sharp opening rise, while the positive return condition favors shares that advanced during the session. It warns that a strict opening-gap limit may exclude opportunities in volatile markets and says positive past-session performance does not guarantee future gains. It suggests adding fundamental or technical filters and adjusting the observation time. No backtest, performance data, or evidence that these filters improve results is provided.

Key ideas

• The screen is restricted to stocks classified in the metaverse sector.
• It requires the opening price to be less than 6% above the previous close.
• It also requires the close to exceed the open, indicating a positive intraday return.
• The article warns that the filters may miss opportunities and do not ensure future gains.
• It proposes combining the screen with other measures but supplies no test results.
