Stock Screening with Rising Averages, Moving-Average Convergence, and Large-Order Activity

Summary

This stock screen combines three signals: a rising 30-day moving average, at least five moving averages clustered together, and a high rank in large-order net activity. The averages listed are the 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-, and 60-day measures. The article interprets their convergence as a relatively flat price regime, large-order activity as investor attention, and the rising 30-day average as an upward trend. Together, these conditions are presented as a way to find active stocks near a possible transition from consolidation.

The article offers a conceptual explanation but no data, formal thresholds for how close the averages must be, or backtest results. It warns that historical patterns may not represent future conditions and suggests adding indicators such as volume or turnover, using stop-losses, and combining strategies. Those suggestions do not establish profitability; the screen’s definitions and risk controls would need to be specified and evaluated before use.

Key ideas

• The screen combines a rising 30-day average with convergence among five listed moving averages.
• It also uses a ranking based on large-order net activity as a measure of trading interest.
• The article treats average convergence as a flat regime and the rising average as an uptrend.
• It gives no convergence threshold or performance evidence and recommends explicit risk controls.
