This item scans the market looking for stocks that are advancing while the majority of other stocks in the same industry are declining.
It calculates the number of advancing stocks and subtracts it to the number of declining stocks for each industry. It then takes stocks that belong to industries that have a positive advance minus decline result. From those stocks, it returns the ones that have a daily rate of return higher than 2%.
I have calculated the advance and decline measures using the composite function. The function takes whether a stock is advancing or not (today close is higher than yesterday's close) and then computes the number of advancing or declining stocks for each industry. The results are grouped by industry because I have added the "industry()" function in the third parameter of the composite indicator. The "industry()" function returns the current stock industry name.
The screen has also an additional rule that prevents it from displaying stocks with no industry field defined.
The screen displays the following columns:
Close: The close price on the screen date
Perf: The daily return
Advance/Decline: Number of stocks that have advanced minus the number of stocks that have declined
Industry: The industry of the analyzed stock
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
