Technicals vs screen thresholds

The five PEAD momentum filters, live against this name
EPS surprise: how far earnings per share (a company's profit divided by its share count) came in above what analysts expected. A +10% beat means profit topped the consensus estimate by 10%. This screen requires more than +8%.QoQ: quarter over quarter, this quarter's earnings per share compared with the prior quarter's. Growth above 15% in three months signals the business is accelerating, not just beating a low bar once.SMA (simple moving average): the average closing price over the last N days. Price above the 20, 50, and 200 day SMAs means the trend is up on short, medium, and long horizons at once.RSI (Relative Strength Index): a 0 to 100 momentum gauge built from the last 14 days of price moves. The 50 to 70 band this screen wants means solid upward momentum; readings above 70 are often called overbought and tend to precede pullbacks.RVOL (relative volume): today's trading volume divided by the 50 day average. 1.3x means 30% more shares changing hands than normal, a sign of genuine interest in the stock rather than routine drift.
