Minervini Scanner

Current Understanding

Implements Mark Minervini's SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) criteria: stage 2 uptrend, price above 50/150/200 SMA in the right order, 52-week high proximity, RS line at new highs. Historically one of the highest-conviction scanner setups. Works best in bull market conditions; underperforms in choppy/bear markets.

Early P&L evidence supports the high-conviction thesis: 100% 1d win rate and +3.68% avg 1d return across 4 data points. No 7d/30d data available yet. The market condition filter hypothesis remains untested.

Evidence Log

2026-04-11 — P&L review

  • 4 recommendations. 1d win rate: 100%. Avg 1d return: +3.68%.
  • No 7d or 30d data (positions still open or too recent at time of statistics cut).
  • 4 data points is too small to draw conclusions but the signal is encouraging.
  • Context: these 4 picks occurred during the broader FebApr 2026 downturn, suggesting the Stage 2 uptrend filter is effective at avoiding stocks in decline.
  • Confidence: low (4 data points insufficient for statistical significance)

Pending Hypotheses

  • Does adding a market condition filter (S&P 500 above 200 SMA) improve hit rate?
  • Do RS Rating thresholds (>80 vs >90) meaningfully differentiate outcomes?
