 Here's a thought, if you like to use a trend-following system. Display an ADX line using 14 days or whatever your favorite setting is. Then take a long moving average of the ADX. By long, I mean something in the range of 1000-2500 days, if the stock has been aroung that long. Sort by this value to find the stocks that have a long history of being trendy, and these would be suitable candidates for your trend-following system. 

I have no idea if this would be useful, but it sounds reasonable.

 hmmm...I don't think many long term trends survived the past 2 years in the market.

 That's not what this is looking for. You just want to find markets that have a history of trending.
