Stocks trading above — but within 8% of — their 200-DMA: fresh reclaims of the long-term trend line.
The 200-day moving average (200-DMA) is the most-watched long-term trend line. A stock above it is generally considered to be in a long-term uptrend; below it, a downtrend.
Rather than listing every stock above its 200-DMA (which would be hundreds), this screen focuses on the actionable subset: stocks trading above but within 8% of the line — recent reclaims where the long-term trend has just turned up.
Strota computes the 200-day simple moving average from daily closes. A stock qualifies if today's close is above the 200-DMA and no more than 8% above it.
The list is ranked by closeness to the line, so freshly-reclaimed names sit at the top. The 'vs 200-DMA' column shows how far above the average the stock is trading.
Trading above the 200-DMA is a trend reference, not advice. Confirm with volume and momentum.
What does trading above the 200-DMA mean?
The 200-day moving average is the main long-term trend gauge. A stock above it is generally seen as being in a long-term uptrend.
Why limit the list to within 8% of the 200-DMA?
Listing every stock above its 200-DMA would return hundreds of names and isn't actionable. Limiting to within 8% surfaces fresh reclaims — stocks where the long-term trend has just turned up.
How is it calculated?
Strota computes the 200-session simple moving average from daily closes and lists stocks trading above but within 8% of it, ranked by closeness.
Is this a buy signal?
No. It is a long-term trend reference. Stocks can reclaim and lose the 200-DMA repeatedly. It is information, not advice.
