Screening Stocks by Price Range, Dividend Payout, and Rising Lows

Article SuperMind
Read the original

Summary

This stock-selection screen combines price amplitude above 1, a dividend-related payout ratio above 25% for 2019, and a rising-bottom condition. The explanation treats larger amplitude as a sign of greater trading opportunity, the dividend filter as a way to identify shareholder returns, and rising lows as a possible sign of recovery after a decline. It also suggests incorporating company fundamentals, industry outlook, and market conditions.

The article gives example indicator formulas and Python-style logic, but its technical definition is unclear: the stated rising-bottom condition and the code’s comparison do not align cleanly, and the dividend calculation is not fully explained. It supplies no backtest or performance evidence. The screen is therefore a sketch for further research, not evidence that these conditions predict gains; rising lows do not guarantee a rebound, and technical signals alone may be inadequate.

Key ideas

  • The screen combines amplitude, a historical dividend-related threshold, and a rising-bottom signal.
  • It presents rising lows as a possible recovery clue, not a guarantee of rising prices.
  • The article recommends adding company fundamentals, industry context, and market conditions.
  • The indicator and code descriptions are ambiguous, and no performance test is reported.
