You recommend Volatility: 10% < Volatility < 20 - Finviz uses a different metric for instance "week-over 10%' is that what you mean?

I apologize for the confusion caused by the different terminology used in the image. The metric "Volatility: 10% < Volatility < 20%" in Finviz corresponds to the range of volatility that I previously described, which is 10% < Volatility < 20%.
The Finviz platform uses a specific formula to calculate volatility, which might differ from the traditional method of measuring volatility as I outlined earlier. The exact calculation method used by Finviz might include factors such as the standard deviation of price changes, the square of the difference between the daily returns, or other statistical measures.
However, the key takeaway is that Finviz's volatility metric is designed to identify stocks with a moderate level of volatility, which is suitable for day trading or swing trade strategies. The range 10% < Volatility < 20% represents stocks that are not too volatile to be considered high-risk, but still exhibit enough volatility to be potentially profitable for short-term traders.
In essence, the Finviz volatility metric is aligned with my recommendation for a moderate volatility range, which is 10% < Volatility < 20%. This range helps traders identify stocks with a good balance between risk and potential reward, making them suitable for day trading or swing trade strategies.
