7 Week Rule

Mar 8, 2023

The 7 week rule was shared by Gil Morales in his book “Trade Like an O’Neil Disciple”. The rule is described as: Stocks that have shown a tendency to “obey” or “respect” the 10-day moving average for at least 7 weeks in an uptrend should often be sold once the stock violates the 10-day line. A “violation” is defined as a close below the 10-day moving average followed by a move on the next day below the intraday low of the first day.

This indicator makes using the 7 week rule easy. Once a stock has closed above its selected moving average (10SMA by default) for 35 days the 7 week rule is triggered. Once the stock then “violates” the moving average, a sell signal is printed on the chart.
