Metaverse Stock Screen Using a Long Moving Average and Volume Ratio

Summary

This stock selection rule screens the metaverse theme for shares whose prior-day price is above a 250-day moving average and whose volume ratio is between 1.5 and 6. The volume ratio is defined as current volume divided by its five-day average. The document includes example implementations and describes the screen as a way to combine thematic exposure, a long-term price filter, and elevated but bounded trading activity.

The post notes that this simple screen may overemphasize popular themes and recent price action while overlooking company fundamentals. It also warns that a small set of filters can exclude attractive shares and that results may depend on market sentiment and timing. Suggested refinements include adding valuation and company or industry analysis, alongside portfolio allocation and risk controls. No backtest methodology, return series, or measured risk results are supplied, so the rule should be understood as a screening proposal rather than evidence of a profitable strategy.

Key ideas

• The screen focuses on stocks in the metaverse theme.
• It requires the prior-day price to be above a 250-day moving average.
• It selects for a volume ratio above 1.5 and below 6, using a five-day volume average.
• The post warns that theme and price filters can miss fundamentals and depend on market conditions.
• It recommends adding fundamental research and explicit risk controls, but provides no performance test.
