I am not sure what you are really trying to get to but, here are other possible approaches to the problem. Each having it's own short commings and strengths.
I expect that the answer you are really looking for would use the slope of an EMA or MA over some period of time. In my opinion different techniques apply to determining a 5 day trends when compared to month or year long trends. You may also consider using some of the Volume weighted measures to help get the stocks you are looking for.
This would be a very broad definition of a trending stock:
Maybe combine this with ADX to get what you want

Here is a very narrow definition of a trending stock with upward direction built in:
I hope this helps.
