A Moving-Average and Opening-Gain Filter for Chinese Stocks

Summary

This stock-screening idea combines three conditions: at least five moving averages should converge, the stock’s return should be positive, and its gain at 9:25 should remain below 6%. The article interprets converging averages as a sign of price stability and a possible entry signal, while the positive-return and opening-gain filters narrow the candidates. It also suggests adding more averages or technical indicators.

The document offers a conceptual rationale and sample code, but no backtest, performance figures, or clear operational definition of how many averages count as converged. Its code references data fields and filtering operations whose relationship to the stated criteria is not fully established. The author cautions that historical screening cannot predict future moves and that volatile prices may prevent averages from converging. The proposed screen is therefore an unvalidated candidate-selection rule, not evidence of profitability or controlled risk.

Key ideas

• The screen requires at least five converging moving averages, positive returns, and a 9:25 gain below 6%.
• The article treats moving-average convergence as a possible sign of stability and a potential entry signal.
• It suggests adding more moving averages or other technical indicators to refine the screen.
• No backtest or evidence of profitability is provided.
• Historical filters may fail to predict future prices, and volatility can disrupt moving-average convergence.
