A Chinese Stock Screen Using Auction Volume, Turnover, and Opening Gains

Summary

This document outlines a Chinese stock selection rule combining the previous day’s turnover rate with the ratio of today’s auction volume to yesterday’s trading volume. The product is intended as a measure of capital intensity, with a stated range above 0.5 and below 2. It also requires the stock’s price gain at 9:25 to be below 6%. The final list of conditions adds a price-to-earnings ratio below 20 and a price-to-book ratio above 1.

The article interprets moderate turnover as a balance between market interest and tradability, and a limited pre-open gain as a relatively stable opening setup. It warns that unusually high turnover can accompany volatility, while low turnover can make trading difficult. No backtest, sample, or performance results are provided, and the document does not specify a holding period or exit rules. Its description of the turnover product is ambiguously formatted, so the precise screening boundary should be verified before use.

Key ideas

• The screen multiplies prior-day turnover by the ratio of current auction volume to yesterday’s volume.
• It gives a target range above 0.5 and below 2 for that product.
• The 9:25 price gain must be below 6%, with additional valuation filters in the final rules.
• The article offers a rationale and risk discussion but no performance evidence or exit method.
• The range condition is ambiguously formatted and should be clarified before implementation.
