Signal long/short

Screening Filters

1. moving_average_relationship: PriceAboveMA20, PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Capture stocks in clear uptrends, both short-term and long-term.
   • Rationale:
     • Since you’re asking for a long or short signal on XAUUSD (gold), one way to validate a bullish or bearish bias is to look at how gold-sensitive equities (like gold miners) are behaving.
     • PriceAboveMA20 means the stock is trading above its 20-day moving average → short-term trend is up.
     • PriceAboveMA200 means it’s also above the 200-day moving average → long-term trend is up.
     • If many gold-related stocks are above both MAs, that supports a bullish environment for gold, strengthening the case for a long bias on XAUUSD rather than a short.

2. macd: bullish

   • Purpose: Ensure momentum is turning or already aligned to the upside.
   • Rationale:
     • A bullish MACD (MACD line crossing above signal line or positive histogram) indicates upside momentum.
     • Seeing bullish MACD across gold miners/precious-metal stocks is another technical confirmation that money is flowing into gold-related assets, consistent with a long bias on XAUUSD.
     • This supports not just trend (the MAs) but also momentum in the same direction.

3. rsi_category: moderate

   • Purpose: Avoid overbought or oversold extremes where reversals are more likely.
   • Rationale:
     • A moderate RSI typically means the stock is not stretched (neither heavily overbought nor oversold).
     • If gold-related stocks are trending higher (MAs, MACD bullish) and RSI is still moderate, it suggests there may be room for the move to continue, rather than being at a late-stage blow-off.
     • For your XAUUSD signal, this helps support that a long bias is not purely chasing an exhausted move.

4. month_price_change_pct: min: 0

   • Purpose: Select stocks that have at least held or gained over the last month.
   • Rationale:
     • Requiring non-negative 1‑month performance removes names that are weak or declining.
     • If most gold-sensitive stocks are at least flat or positive over the past month, it signals recent bullish or stable conditions for the gold complex, again tilting odds toward a long XAUUSD view over a short.

5. themes: Gold Mining and Precious Metals

   • Purpose: Focus specifically on companies whose performance is closely tied to gold prices.
   • Rationale:
     • Gold miners and precious metals companies are highly correlated with the price of gold (XAUUSD).
     • By restricting to this theme, the screener is effectively looking at equity proxies for gold to see whether the whole gold-related space is behaving bullishly or bearishly.
     • If this group is technically strong (uptrend, bullish MACD, moderate RSI), it supports a bullish signal on XAUUSD rather than a short.

6. list_exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Use liquid, major U.S. exchanges for reliability and data quality.
   • Rationale:
     • These exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American) list many of the largest and most liquid gold miners/precious metals stocks, where price action is more efficient and technically meaningful.
     • This improves the quality of the signal you infer about XAUUSD from related equities, compared with illiquid or obscure listings.

Why Results Match Your XAUUSD Signal Request

• You want a clear long or short inclination on XAUUSD based on technical context.
• The screener narrows in on gold-linked stocks and looks for consistent bullish technicals:
  • Above short- and long-term moving averages (trend up).
  • Bullish MACD (momentum up).
  • Moderate RSI (trend has room).
  • Non-negative monthly performance (recent trend supports the move).
• When this combination appears across gold mining and precious metals names on major exchanges, it collectively supports a bullish backdrop for gold, strengthening the case for a long bias on XAUUSD rather than a short, based on correlated market behavior and multiple technical confirmations.
