The Moomoo platform offers over 100 indicators and financial metrics in its stock screener, allowing traders to cut through the noise and find companies with aggressive growth potential. For beginner investors, knowing which filters to combine is the "secret."

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Moomoo's stock screener with five highly effective filters designed to spot high-growth stocks.

Step 1: Focus on the Fundamentals of Growth

High-growth stocks are defined by rapid expansion, which requires strong sales and earnings performance. We use the screener's Financial Indicators section to establish a solid fundamental base.

Filter 1: Quarterly Revenue Growth Rate (Year-over-Year)

The fastest way to see if a company is growing is to look at how much its sales have increased compared to the same quarter last year.

  • Filter Name: Revenue Growth Rate (YOY)
  • Target: Greater than 25%
  • Why it works: Aggressive growth investors (like those following the CANSLIM model) look for companies consistently increasing sales at a double-digit pace. Setting the bar at 25% quickly filters out slow-growth businesses.

Filter 2: Quarterly Net Income Growth Rate (Year-over-Year)

Revenue is important, but a company must also be increasing its actual profit. Net Income Growth shows that sales expansion is translating into a healthier bottom line.

  • Filter Name: Net Income Growth Rate (YOY)
  • Target: Greater than 20%
  • Why it works: This ensures the growth is profitable and sustainable. A growth stock should be showing improving efficiency, meaning profits should be growing nearly as fast as sales.

Step 2: Use Technical Indicators to Spot Momentum

Growth stocks are often momentum stocks—they are moving fast and hitting new highs. We use Technical Indicators to find companies that are currently showing strength.

Filter 3: Price Strength / Relative Price Strength (RPS)

This filter measures how well a stock's price has performed compared to the overall market (or all other stocks) over a period, making it a favorite for institutional traders.

  • Filter Name: Relative Strength (or similar)
  • Target: Greater than 80
  • Why it works: An RPS of 80 means the stock has performed better than 80% of all other stocks in the market over the last year. This is a powerful sign that the company is a market leader and not a laggard.

Filter 4: Distance from 52-Week High

A classic sign of a strong stock is one that is trading close to its annual peak. This indicates strong buying pressure and confidence from major investors.

  • Filter Name: PCT from 52wk High (Percentage from 52-Week High)
  • Target: Between 0% and 10% (i.e., less than 10% off its high)
  • Why it works: This confirms the stock has significant recent momentum and is not a turnaround play. We avoid stocks far from their high because they are likely trending sideways or down.

Step 3: Refine for Liquidity and Valuation

The final filters help manage the risk and ensure you can easily enter and exit the trade.

Filter 5: Average Daily Trading Volume

A high-growth stock needs to be liquid so you can quickly buy and sell shares. Low volume can mean large price swings and difficulty finding a buyer when you need one.

  • Filter Name: Avg. Daily Volume (3-Month)
  • Target: Greater than 500,000 shares
  • Why it works: Setting a minimum volume ensures the stock is actively traded, minimizing liquidity risk and making execution faster and smoother on a platform like Moomoo.
