Screening for Seven Losing Sessions Near the Ten-Day Moving Average
Summary
This proposed equity screen selects stocks with turnover between 3% and 12% that have fallen for seven consecutive sessions and whose opening price lies between the current and previous ten-day moving averages. The author interprets the moving-average condition as proximity to a possible support area, seeking declining shares that may be near a technical level of interest.
The post gives sample formula and Python-style logic, but reports no backtest, candidate examples, or performance results. It warns that a moving average may fail as support and that price and turnover filters omit company fundamentals and broader market risk. The author suggests adding financial measures such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, alongside indicators like RSI and MACD. The rule is therefore a technical screening idea, not evidence of a dependable rebound strategy.
Key ideas
