- Model Name: 250-Day New High Distance Model; Model Construction Idea: The model tracks the distance of the latest closing price from the highest closing price in the past 250 trading days to identify stocks that are hitting new highs; Model Construction Process: The formula used is $ 250 \text{ Day New High Distance} = 1 - \frac{Closet}{ts\_max(Close, 250)} $ where Closet is the latest closing price and ts_max(Close, 250) is the maximum closing price in the past 250 trading days.
