Selecting Stocks with Converging Moving Averages and Positive 10-Day Returns

Summary

This stock screen combines three conditions: market capitalization above 200 million, a 10-day price gain above zero but below 35, and at least five moving averages that converge. The named averages are the 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-, and 60-day lines. The article presents this as a way to identify stocks with several time horizons aligned while excluding stocks with flat or sharply elevated recent returns.

The post gives no backtest, performance data, definition of how close the averages must be to count as converged, or details on when the screen is evaluated. Its illustrative code checks whether indicator labels appear in stock information rather than calculating actual average proximity, so it does not establish a reproducible implementation. The screen is a selection idea, not evidence that selected stocks will continue rising; trading costs, liquidity, risk controls, and out-of-sample evaluation are not discussed.

Key ideas

• The screen requires market capitalization above 200 million and a positive 10-day return below 35.
• It looks for convergence among the 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-, and 60-day moving averages.
• The post does not define a numerical tolerance for moving-average convergence.
• No performance results or backtest evidence are provided.
