Moving-Average Alignment and 30-Day Price-Range Stock Screening

Summary

The document proposes a stock screen based on how closely five moving averages align and where the current closing price sits within its recent 30-day high-low range. It suggests interpreting alignment above 0.8 or below 0.2 alongside an upward or downward 30-day condition to classify possible opportunities and risks. The article also offers general suggestions to add technical or fundamental filters and use more historical data.

Its evidence consists of formulas and a qualitative explanation; it gives no backtest, performance figures, or worked examples. The displayed equations and their labels are difficult to reconcile: the described “30-day average line” condition is expressed using the close and the 30-day price extremes, and the alignment formula is not clearly defined. Treat this as an incomplete screening concept that needs careful specification and testing. The article itself warns that these price-based signals may miss influences on stock prices and may produce false judgments.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines a five-moving-average alignment measure with a 30-day price-range condition.
• High or low alignment values are paired with upward or downward price conditions to classify possible opportunities and risks.
• The article suggests adding technical or fundamental filters and using more historical data.
• The formulas are unclear, and the document provides no backtest evidence for the screen.
