New 52-week high with 60%+ green candles over the last 20 sessions and volume above average.
The 252-day high check confirms a new annual closing high. The 60%+ green candle ratio over the last 20 bars (approximately one month) confirms the prior trend was consistently positive -- not a series of volatile swings that happened to reach a new high. Volume above the 20-bar average validates that the breakout day itself has real participation. Three conditions must align: new structural high, sustained positive trend, and volume confirmation. This is one of the more demanding compound screens in ChartMath, which explains the 0-stock count.
This screen targets the highest-quality subset of new 52-week high setups. The sustained momentum filter eliminates stocks that spike to new highs on a single news event without prior trend support. The volume filter eliminates thin-market extensions. The main residual failure mode is macro reversal: even the cleanest individual stock breakout can be overwhelmed by a broad market selloff. Traders who use this screen typically also require an SPY/QQQ uptrend before acting on signals. Compare to New 52-Week High for the base signal without the added filters. Near 52-Week High is the pre-breakout watchlist version.
