Screening Stocks with KDJ Crossovers and Daily Price Conditions

Summary

The document describes a daily stock selection screen that combines three conditions: intraday range exceeds one percent of the low, the KDJ indicator has just crossed upward, and the latest close is above the prior session’s low. It interprets the range condition as a volatility filter, the crossover as a possible sign of improving sentiment, and the price condition as a basic strength check. Reference implementations are included for a charting formula and a Python workflow.

The page offers rationale and implementation examples, but no historical test, sample period, benchmark, or return evidence. It warns that the screen ignores company fundamentals and broader market or sector context, and that highly volatile stocks can fall sharply. It suggests incorporating fundamentals, market direction, volume, and additional indicators as possible refinements. The stated logic is a simple technical screen, so its signals should not be read as evidence of profitability or reliable timing.

Key ideas

• The screen requires a daily range above one percent of the low, a fresh KDJ bullish crossover, and a close above the previous day’s low.
• The document treats the range as a volatility filter and the crossover as a possible momentum signal.
• It supplies example implementations but does not report backtest results or performance statistics.
• The screen omits fundamentals and broader market context, while volatile candidates may experience sharp declines.
• The page proposes adding volume, fundamental measures, market trends, and other indicators for further consideration.
