Finding Bullish Stocks Breaking Out in the Market Every Day
Updated on 3/1/2025
Our daily stock selection column mainly focuses on stocks that have just experienced a technical breakthrough or have recently retraced to important moving averages(MA50/MA20) after a breakthrough.
In our selection strategy, "Relative Price Strength (RPS)" is the most crucial indicator. Additionally, we have included financial data as a stock selection factor. Even during a stock price retracement, we still have certain requirements for RPS (not lower than 80). Simply put, the RPS value ranges from 0 to 100. The higher the RPS, the stronger the stock's performance.
Please note that this is just one quantitative method to improve the efficiency of stock selection and mitigate fundamental risks. It is for discussion purposes and does not constitute a buy recommendation.
Today's Stock List
The table is sorted by composite score, which theoretically ranges from 0 to 100. Typically, we primarily focus on stocks with scores greater than 70.

Note: The composite score in the table is calculated by our quantitative team, which combines factors such as RPS, EPS, SMR, Buy/Sell, and technical indicators using different weights. The RPS (max) utilizes the maximum value among the RPS50/120/250 parameters. The EPS Rating considers the growth rate of the stock's EPS and ranks it accordingly. SMR Rating represents the rating derived from the factors of Sales Growth, Profit Margins, and Return on Equity ratios. The Buy/Sell Rating is calculated based on the stock's price movement and trading volume, representing the recent buying and selling strength of the stock. The Technical aspect pertains to the stock price pattern, with "P" indicating Pullback and "B" indicating Breakthrough. Additionally, the stocks with green background shading in the "Composite Score" column indicate that institutional holdings have increased compared to the previous period.
Additionally, we published an article over the previous weekend regarding the backtested stock selection success rate of this column, providing details on the stock selections and returns.
