Overbought Stocks Today
These stocks are stretched to the upside today: RSI above its overbought line, a close above the upper Bollinger Band, five straight higher closes, or a single-day gain above 5%. The list is rebuilt from live screen matches every 30 minutes.
Overbought is a state, not a signal. In strong trends it persists for weeks. The win rate on each row tells you how that particular screen has behaved historically, whether as a fade or as a continuation.

How a systematic trader uses this list
Treat these two ways. If you hold the stock, an overbought reading is a place to tighten the stop, not to sell blindly. If you are looking to fade, wait for the screen's own confirmation bar and use the backtest's exit rule; the screens here that fade well are the ones that require the extreme to reverse, not just to print.
Questions
What makes a stock overbought here?
The stock entered one of the overbought screens: an RSI extreme above 70, a close above the upper Bollinger Band, a run of higher closes, or a one-day gain above 5%.
Should I short overbought stocks?
Only with a rule. The backtests on these screens show that some extremes continue and some reverse. The win rate column is per screen; use it, and set the stop above the high that triggered the screen.
