Positive MACD Stocks With a Lower Intraday Low Than the Prior Session

Summary

This note proposes screening stocks whose MACD is above zero, meet an unspecified company-type condition, and have a current-day low below the previous day’s low. The rationale combines a positive trend signal with a pullback: MACD above zero is treated as evidence of an upward trend, while a lower low is interpreted as a potentially attractive dip. The article also associates the company filter with stable fundamentals, though it does not define that condition consistently.

Formula and Python examples are included, but no backtest or performance evidence is reported. The formula’s concept filter and price comparison do not transparently match the prose, and the Python example uses shareholder and listing data without clearly implementing the stated company-type test. The article acknowledges that the rule is simplistic and omits broader financial and industry conditions. It recommends combining technical signals with valuation and financial measures, but provides no tested thresholds or evidence that these additions improve results.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines MACD above zero with a current low below the prior session’s low.
• The rationale treats positive MACD as an upward trend signal and the lower low as a pullback.
• The company-type condition is mentioned but not clearly defined in the screening logic.
• The examples are not validated with performance results and may not implement the prose consistently.
• The article recommends broader fundamental and technical analysis while warning that the simple screen has substantial limitations.
