IBD Ranking system

IBD : Investor's Business Daily

I was going through investors.com and I found they have some nice ranking systems.
1- EPS Rating : https://education.investors.com/financial-dictionary/ibd-terms/EPS-Rating
2- Relative strength.

does anybody know how those rankings are calculated?

I found a link for stockcharts where they discuss the relative strength but it seems different from IBD. IBD have the ranking from 1 to 99 (99 is the best)

Investopedia has an OK definition. But best way is do big trend studies, all data; they can / do run up stock , big trends,with NO earnings.

It's a good rating system. If you add these other criteria it will help to build your High Quality Universe of stocks to trade.

Price bwt $10 and $50
65day avg Volume >200k
Float 5 -60 million daily
Positive earnings
Insider shares > 5%
Institutional shares > 5%

Then screen for unusual volume as stock prices move into it's positive zone of it's cycle.

Looks good; except 65 dma is WSJ bull ,OK-LOL; most any thing will work in a bull trend. Too slow for me it would use use less comissions, so could work....

Yeah, the 65 dma is just a low tide mark and a reference point for First Rising Volume. What's makes a greater difference is EPS and RS rating movement as compared to peers.

I've used a 55 before; 65 is too much/to many drawdowns, for me LOL
