Screening Filters
PriceAboveMA20 & PriceAboveMA200 (Moving Average Relationship)
- Purpose: Identify ETFs whose current price is above both their short-term (20-day) and long‑term (200‑day) moving averages.
- Rationale:
- Price above the 20-day MA signals a short-term uptrend (recent strength).
- Price above the 200-day MA signals a long-term uptrend (structural strength).
- When both are true, it typically indicates a well-established, ongoing uptrend rather than a brief spike, aligning with your request for “consistent upward movement.”
52w_High (New High/Low)
- Purpose: Find ETFs trading at or near their 52-week high.
- Rationale:
- Hitting a 1‑year high usually occurs in sustained uptrends with strong demand.
- This helps filter for ETFs that are not just recovering from lows, but are pushing into new high ground, reinforcing the idea of consistent strength over time.
quarter_price_change_pct ≥ 20%
- Purpose: Require at least a 20% gain over the last quarter (3 months).
- Rationale:
- A strong positive 3‑month return confirms recent upward momentum.
- It helps exclude ETFs that may be long‑term winners but currently moving sideways or weakening, supporting your focus on ETFs that are currently moving up.
year_price_change_pct ≥ 40%
- Purpose: Require at least a 40% gain over the last year (12 months).
- Rationale:
- A solid 1‑year performance suggests a sustained uptrend over a longer horizon, not just a short-term bounce.
- Combining this with the quarterly filter focuses on ETFs that have been strong both recently and over the past year, which is consistent with “consistent upward movement.”
Why Results Match Your Request
- ETFs must be above both short- and long-term moving averages, pointing to persistent, technically strong uptrends.
- Requiring a new 52-week high ensures the ETF is leading, not lagging, in its price trajectory.
- Strong gains over both the last quarter (≥20%) and last year (≥40%) select for ETFs that have shown multi-period, consistent appreciation, not just a one-time jump.
This combination doesn’t guarantee future consistency, but it systematically targets ETFs that have demonstrated steady upward movement across multiple timeframes.
