The Minervini Trend Template is a stock screener based on the work of Mark Minervini, a two-time winner of the U.S. Investing Championship. The goal is to identify stocks that are in strong uptrends.
Historical analysis demonstrates that nearly all of the highest performing stocks exhibited a strong uptrend prior to making significant advances. Based on Mark's research, 99% of these stocks were trading above their 200-day simple moving average, and 96% were above their 50-day simple moving average, prior to becoming true market leaders.
🔹 Minervini Trend Template Requirements ✓ Price is above the 150-SMA and 200-SMA. ✓ 150-SMA is above the 200-SMA. ✓ 200-SMA is trending up for at least one month. ✓ 50-SMA is above the 150-SMA and the 200-SMA. ✓ Price is above the 50-SMA. ✓ Price is within 25% of the 52-week high. ✓ Price is 30%+ above the 52-week low.
🔹 Screening Features - Setting Your Search Criteria There are various search options that can be customized.
▪ Symbol Type The screener supports all equity types from stocks to ETFs to crypto. You can narrow the scope of your search by choosing only the symbol types of interest.
▪ Percent Change - Weekly, Monthly and YTD Further narrow your search by specifying minimum percent changes on a weekly, monthly and/or year-to-date basis.
▪ Distance From 52-Week High The screener looks for stocks within 25% of their 52-week high, as defined by Mark's Trend Template. You can further tighten this criteria by specifying a smaller percentage, for example, search for stocks within 5% of their 52-week high.
🔹 Installation And Usage ▪ Mark this indicator as a Favorite. ▪ Use the Pine Screener to search for stocks. ▪ Save the search results to a watchlist. ▪ View the watchlist in TradingView.
🔹 Note The Trend Template as originally defined by Mark included an RS Rating based on a proprietary calculation from Investor's Business Daily. My preference in technical analysis and screening is to only use tools and calculations that can be researched and verified. There is no RS Rating requirement in this screener. All the other Trend Template requirements are included.
