Price above VWAP with bullish EMAs alignment and volume confirmation.
Above VWAP means the current price is above the session's volume-weighted average cost, so the average buyer from today is profitable — a condition that tends to attract further buying. EMA(9) above EMA(20) on the 5-Min chart means the faster exponential average has crossed and is holding above the slower one, confirming short-term momentum is upward. Volume above the 20-bar average ensures the trend has participation rather than being low-conviction drift. The three conditions together create an intraday trend-quality filter: a stock can satisfy all three without being at a breakout level, making the screen useful for stocks in a controlled intraday uptrend, not just momentum spikes.
With 127 stocks currently matching, this screen is a starting filter — not every match is an actionable trade. The 15-minute timeframe balances signal frequency with noise reduction: 1-minute signals fire constantly, while 1-hour signals lag entries. Entries are strongest when made on a pullback to the 15-minute EMA(20) or VWAP level from above, rather than chasing price extended above both indicators. The most common failure mode is a midday fade: the morning momentum that drove the three conditions reverses as volume dries up after 11:30 AM ET, pulling the stock back below VWAP by early afternoon. A second failure is sector or market-wide reversal invalidating an otherwise clean individual stock setup. Compare to Strong Intraday Uptrend + Momentum Quality for a stricter version that also requires candle-composition confirmation. Strong Intraday Downtrend is the bear-side equivalent.
