A Chinese Stock Screen Using Moving Average Convergence and Opening Gains

Summary

This stock-selection idea combines three filters: at least five moving averages converge, turnover lies between 2% and 9%, and the stock’s gain at 9:25 is below 6%. The document interprets clustered averages as relatively stable price behavior, the turnover band as moderate activity, and the pre-open gain cap as avoiding names that have already risen sharply. It proposes ranking qualifying stocks by a combined technical and market-activity score and selecting the top ten.

The note offers a rationale and possible refinements, including adding indicators such as MACD or RSI and examining additional timeframes. It provides no backtest, performance statistics, precise definition of moving-average convergence, or validated ranking method. It also cautions that price behavior can exceed expectations and that technical analysis reflects historical behavior rather than reliably predicting future returns. The accompanying code is incomplete and does not establish evidence for the screen’s effectiveness.

Key ideas

• The screen requires at least five moving averages to converge.
• It limits turnover to between 2% and 9% and the 9:25 gain to below 6%.
• The proposed selection ranks qualifying stocks using combined technical and activity measures.
• The document gives no backtest or defined scoring formula to validate the approach.
• Technical patterns and moderate turnover do not remove market risk or ensure future gains.
