Screening Beverage and Alcohol Stocks with RSI and Auction Buying Flow

Summary

This proposed stock screen combines an RSI reading below 65 with membership in the beverage and alcohol import-export industry and substantial large or extra-large buying during the opening auction. The article presents the filters as a way to find stocks that appear relatively low in price and show demand from large orders. It includes indicator and data-field examples for implementing the screen.

The note does not provide a backtest, evidence of predictive value, or a method for validating the threshold. It identifies several practical limitations: auction order data may be inaccurate, low auction activity may distort the signal, and industry classifications may be unclear. The written rule describes a buy amount threshold, while its sample field names and units are not consistently explained; the RSI calculation also is not visibly applied in the sample filtering condition. Suggested refinements include adding fundamental measures, calibrating thresholds to produce a usable universe, and cross-checking industry classification. Treat the code and rationale as an unvalidated sketch.

Key ideas

• The screen combines RSI below 65, a beverage and alcohol import-export industry filter, and large-order auction buying above a stated threshold.
• The article interprets the combination as evidence of demand and institutional participation.
• Auction data quality and thin auction trading can make the signal unreliable.
• Industry classification may be ambiguous, and the example implementation does not clearly apply every stated condition.
• No performance results or validation are provided.
