The power play is the one setup Mark Minervini buys without the full Trend Template: an explosive move of 100% or more in about eight weeks, usually on news, followed by a short, tight sideways flag. It is the rarest and often the most powerful pattern on his list. This screen lists stocks on European exchanges whose 15-bar high is at least twice the 55-bar low, that have since held a range of less than 25% over the last 15 bars, trade within 15% of the flag high and stay above the 50-day moving average, largest run-up first. Prices are in euros, and the list covers stocks traded on Xetra, Euronext Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Milan and the Madrid Stock Exchange with at least 0.5 million euros in average daily trading value.
