# Mark Minervini Buy Signal Indicator

This indicator implements Mark Minervini's "Stage 2 Uptrend" buy criteria from his SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) methodology as described in his books "Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard" and "Think & Trade Like a Champion". The script identifies potential buy setups based on Minervini's technical criteria for stocks showing strong momentum characteristics.

## How It Works

The indicator evaluates various technical conditions to identify stocks in a Stage 2 uptrend according to Minervini's methodology:

1. **Moving Average Alignment**
- 150-day MA above 200-day MA (confirming overall uptrend)
- 200-day MA trending up (compared to 20 days ago)
- 50-day MA above both 150-day and 200-day MAs (showing recent strength)
- Price above all major moving averages (50, 150, 200-day MAs)

2. **Price Relative to 52-Week Range**
- Price at least 25% above 52-week low (showing strong recovery)
- Price within 75-95% of 52-week high (room for further upside)

3. **Relative Strength**
- Stock ranks in the top 30% based on 100-day price performance
- This implements Minervini's emphasis on buying only strong performers

4. **Volume Criteria**
- Volume above its 50-day moving average (showing increasing interest)

## How to Use This Indicator

When all conditions are met, the indicator displays a green triangle below the price bar and colors the background green. These signals identify potential candidates for further analysis. According to Minervini's methodology, you should:

1. Use this as a screening tool to identify potential candidates
2. Perform additional chart analysis to identify specific entry points
3. Look for decreased volatility and proper bases or consolidation patterns
4. Consider broader market conditions and sector strength before entering
