TwP: Mark Minervini Trend Template Criteria

12 mar 2022

In his book 'Think & Trade Like a Champion', Mark Minervini gave his famous Trend Template Criteria, that he uses for screening stocks. According to that, a stock must meet the following 8 criteria to be deemed in a confirmed Stage 2 uptrend:

1. The current stock price is above both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40-week) moving average price lines.
2. The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average.
3. The 200-day moving average line is trending up for at least 1 month (preferably 4–5 months minimum in most cases).
4. The 50-day (10-week) moving average is above both the 150-day and 200-day moving averages.
5. The current stock price is trading above the 50-day moving average.
6. The current stock price is at least 25% above its 52-week low (30% as per his book 'Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard').
7. The current stock price is within at least 25% of its 52-week high (the closer to a new high the better).
8. The Relative Strength ranking (RS ranking), as reported in Investor’s Business Daily, is no less than 70.

This script checks if the above-mentioned Mark's Trend Template Criteria is being met or not (except for the last condition #8 ( RS ranking above 70), which cannot be obtained).

Green dot indicates condition met, and Red dot indicates condition not met.

If you want to see only the final result, instead of the status of each condition, you can choose the option of hiding individual conditions from the Settings tab.


You can also change the color & location of the table in the Settings tab.


Using Bar Replay mode, you can also go back on any date historically to check if the said criteria were met on that particular date.

Unfortunately, at present, it is not possible to screen stocks on TradingView that meet Mark Minervini's Trend Template Criteria.

Feel free to use. Click on Add to favorite indicators below to start using the script.

Don't know how this happened, but on choosing the option to not see the individual conditions, the main result was also not showing up.
Made some changes, and hopefully this error will not occur again.

Note di rilascio

Gave the option to change the color of the text in the table. You can match the color of table's border & text with that of your chart template, so that only the green/red dot is visible.
