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.
