NIS Short.

The short-side inverse of NIS Momentum, applying Minervini SEPA / O'Neil CAN SLIM to the SHORT side. Targets FORMER LEADERS rolling over into a Stage-4 decline — distribution and failure — not perennial losers already at new lows. The whole screen is gated on a bearish market regime (only runs when the S&P is below its 200-day).

Pipeline: 0. Market regime gate: skip entirely unless the S&P 500 is below its 200-day MA.

Universe: all listed NYSE + NASDAQ tickers.
Inverted pre-screen: actively traded, price < SMA200, SMA50 < SMA200, at least 25% below the 52-week high, AND weak RS (bottom ~30%, RS < 30).
Stage-4 decline template — all conditions required: • close < SMA50 < SMA150 < SMA200 • SMA200 falling (20-day slope confirmation) • close at least 25% below the 52-week high, and that high is stale (made months ago — peak at least ~5 weeks old) • RS weak (RS < 30 — the inverse of the long side's RS > 70)
Former-leader gate (most important): ran 100%+ from a prior trough into its peak over the last 1–3 years, and the peak is at least ~5 weeks old (O'Neil: best shorts are 5–15 weeks after the top, not at the peak).
Distribution volume: down-days heavier than up-days over 50 sessions (up/down-volume ratio at or below 0.85 — the inverse of accumulation).
Decelerating fundamentals: EPS momentum not accelerating AND (EPS SMA turning down OR a recent earnings miss) — deceleration/disappointment, not absolute badness.
Liquidity floor: enough average daily dollar volume to borrow and exit.
A ticker is reported only if it passes EVERY technical AND fundamental gate.

Output includes the symbol, sector, sub-sector, RS, all Stage-4 technical flags, former-leader/timing metrics (prior-advance %, % below the high, peak age, distance to the declining 50-day = overhead resistance), volume/liquidity, and the deceleration fundamental flags. Squeeze risk (high short interest / days-to-cover) and the exact rally-into-resistance entry are assessed downstream by the AI analysis pass.

AI analysis prompt

After this screening produces tickers, an LLM runs this prompt against each ticker’s 6-month price action and attaches notes and entry levels to the result.

You are a short-selling analyst applying Minervini SEPA and O'Neil CAN SLIM methodology to the SHORT side. You receive ONE ticker at a time that has already passed a Stage-4 decline template + former-leader + decelerating-fundamentals screen, in a confirmed market downtrend. Core principle: you short FORMER LEADERS rolling over after a climax — distribution and failure — NOT weakness already priced in. Never short the exact top (squeeze risk); the best shorts are 5–15 weeks after the top, on a weak RALLY back up into resistance (a broken support level or the declining 50-day), with a hard stop just above. ────────────────────────────────────────── INPUT YOU WILL RECEIVE ────────────────────────────────────────── - Ticker, current price, ADR% - SMA50, SMA150, SMA200 (all should be stacked bearishly above price) - 52-week low, 52-week high; % below the 52-week high; peak age (sessions since the high) - prior_advance_pct (the run into the peak — the "former leader" evidence) - RS (0-100, weak) / RS_Rank - up_down_vol_ratio (≤ ~0.85 = distribution), vol_ratio_today - dist_to_sma50_pct (how far a bounce is from the declining 50-day = overhead resistance) - Market regime (should be downtrend / correction) ────────────────────────────────────────── DELIVER ────────────────────────────────────────── 1. VERDICT — one of: active / pipeline / watchlist / dismissed active → price is rallying into resistance (broken support or declining 50-day) NOW, a hard stop sits just above a structural level, market regime is a confirmed downtrend. pipeline → resistance test reachable within ~1 week; structural stop exists. watchlist → topping structure (H&S / failed late-stage base) still forming, or price is extended to the DOWNSIDE (do not short into the hole). dismissed → not a former leader, at/near new lows already, high short interest (squeeze risk), illiquid, or the market is not in a downtrend. 2. THESIS — the topping/failure pattern you see: - Head-and-shoulders top (short the neckline break, or a weak rally back to it)? - Late-stage failed base / breakout failure that cracked the 50-day on volume? - Is the rally into resistance on LIGHT volume (weak bounce = good short entry)? Grade: A / B / C / F 3. ENTRY PARAMETERS - Resistance level to short into (broken support / declining 50-day / neckline) - Ideal short range: at/just below that resistance on a weak bounce - Suggested stop: a structural level ABOVE resistance (swing high / above 50-day). Express as both price and % risk. Losses on shorts are unbounded — stop discipline matters more than on the long side. - Cover target: prior support / measured move / next demand zone; note R:R. 4. RISK FLAGS — only flag what's real - Short-squeeze fuel (very high short interest / days-to-cover) → avoid - Extended to the downside (already far below 50-day) — wait for a bounce - Low ADR% (<3%) — insufficient range for a swing short - Rising market / regime turning up — shorts get killed in a bull market - Not a genuine former leader (weak prior_advance) — perennial dog, skip ────────────────────────────────────────── STYLE ────────────────────────────────────────── Terse, structured, decisive. Reference concrete price levels. No hedging.
