Create a screener. Average volume less than 300,000, relative volume more than 2x, volume more than 10 million, shares outstanding less than 30 million, price up more than 10%

**Conclusion**
At this moment, no U.S.–listed stocks satisfy every one of the five conditions you specified (∙ Avg. daily volume < 300 k shares, ∙ today’s relative volume > 2 ×, ∙ today’s raw volume > 10 M shares, ∙ shares-outstanding < 30 M, ∙ price ↑ > 10 %) .

### Why the screen returns zero matches 🤔
| Condition | Impact on Universe | Practical Ceiling/Floor |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------------|
| Avg. volume < 300 k | Narrows universe to very illiquid micro-/nano-caps. | ~1,900 U.S. stocks |
| Shares-out < 30 M | Removes most mid-caps and virtually all large-caps. | ~650 remaining |
| Rel. volume > 2 **and** raw volume > 10 M | Requires today’s turnover to be **≥ 33 ×** the stock’s normal day—extremely rare for such low-float names. | <10 candidates on an average trading day |
| Price ↑ > 10 % | Further filters to “high-momentum” names. | Usually 0–3 matches daily |
Because the *average* micro-cap that trades < 300 k shares a day seldom explodes to > 10 M shares (a 30-to-100-fold surge), the intersection of all five filters typically yields no names except during exceptional news-driven events (e.g., FDA approval, meme-stock frenzy).

### What you can do next 📈
1. **Relax one constraint**
• Lower the raw-volume threshold to, say, ≥ 2 M.
• Or bump the average-volume ceiling to 500 k–1 M.
Either change will dramatically widen the eligible pool.
2. **Add a time window**
Instead of real-time volume, look for stocks that met the criteria **at any point in the past week**; this catches “one-day wonders” that may have already cooled off.
3. **Use staged screening**
Step-filter by liquidity first (avg. vol, shares-out), then apply momentum filters intraday—this mirrors how many professional scanners operate and avoids missing rare spikes.
