How to Find Super Trending Stocks

I use 5 moving averages to find a super trending stock.
In my world, there are 3 categories of moving averages:
- Long term
- Medium term
- Short term
I use 2 long term moving averages:
- 150 SMA
- 200 SMA
I use 1 medium term moving average:
- 50 SMA
I use 2 short term moving averages:
- 21 EMA
- 8 EMA
In my view, a super up-trending stock is a stock that meets the following criteria:
8 EMA > 21 EMA > 50 SMA > 150 SMA > 200 SMA
I give credit to Mark Minervini in helping me understand the importance of the medium and long term moving averages.
I give credit to Patrick Walker in helping me understand the importance of the short term moving averages.
I use these moving averages on the daily timeframe chart.
On the weekly timeframe, I use 3 moving averages:
- 10 SMA
- 30 SMA
- 40 SMA
I give credit to Stan Weinstein in helping me understand the importance of the 30 week SMA.
I give credit to William O' Neil in helping me understand the importance of the 10 week SMA.
Here are my rules:
For a super up-trending stock:
8 EMA > 21 EMA > 50 SMA > 150 SMA > 200 SMA
and
on the weekly chart:
10 SMA > 30 SMA > 40 SMA
Similarly, for a super down-trending stock:
8 EMA < 21 EMA < 50 SMA < 150 SMA < 200 SMA
and on the weekly chart
10 SMA < 30 SMA < 40 SMA
These screeners can easily be put on the Trading View Application.
There is no need for any special software for these simple criteria to find super trending stocks.
I never go short on a super up-trending stock.
I never go long on a super down-trending stock.
I "preferably" stay away from stocks that are neither in an uptrend nor in a downtrend.
Moving averages are lagging indicators.
However, moving averages are great filters.
Moving averages can also be used to manage trades.
