Why does the number 150 or an SMA versus any other MA type have meaning to you? I'm not criticizing you, just trying to help you understand the realities of technical analysis.
lets put this way, that filter allow to select 150 as the highest number and it uses SMA only. If you know other filters that allow bigger customization, please share. For me interesting point is that top traded (average daily volume above 1,000,000) stocks from the list above are all from the Gold, Silver and Mining industries.
