Leading Stocks
Objective. Find stocks that are already trending — grinding up along EMA 10 and SMA 20 — and enter on the small pullbacks inside that uptrend. The goal is to ride the existing wave and to enter healthy leaders at the moments where the next leg statistically tends to start.
What it does. Every Saturday at 08:00 CET the scanner goes through the entire US large & mid cap universe and first filters out everything that is not in a clean, established uptrend on both the daily and the weekly timeframe, and that is not also outperforming the index. The names that survive that filter are then ranked by how close they are to a textbook re-entry: pulled back toward EMA 10 / SMA 20, RSI cooled off into the 40–60 zone, and the broader 3-month price line still pointing up.
How to interpret. Treat this list as a shortlist of charts worth opening — not a buy-now signal.
- Open the top names and visually confirm the chart is moving up in a stable, linear way — EMA 50 sloping cleanly upward, no violent swings — and that price is actually sitting on or just above EMA 10 / SMA 20.
- Wait for one of the entry triggers below to fire on the chart.
- Size positions so a stop below SMA 20 is a small, pre-defined loss. Expect a meaningful share of setups to fail — the edge comes from many small losses and a few trends that run.
Exact entry triggers, stops and the full ranking formula live in the Methodology toggle below.
Market regime matters. This system is highly dependent on an expansive bull market. In a strong, trending tape it typically surfaces 1–3 genuinely tradable leaders per scan. In consolidation, rotation or corrective regimes the same logic produces weak setups that tend to fail — there simply aren't enough clean uptrends for the filter to work with.
