Trend Template

The Trend Template is the checklist Mark Minervini uses to keep only Stage 2 leaders on his watchlist. This screen, step 3 of the Minervini ladder, lists stocks on Asian exchanges that meet all eight criteria: price above the 50, 150 and 200-day moving averages; the 50-day above the 150-day and the 150-day above the 200-day; the 200-day rising for at least a month; price at least 25% above the 52-week low and within 25% of the 52-week high; and a one-year relative strength rank of 70 or more. The thresholds are set at the loose end of his ranges so the list is a watchlist, not a buy list. Prices are in each exchange's local currency, and the list covers stocks traded in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul and Jakarta with at least about US$0.7 million in average daily trading value.
