A Moving-Average Confluence Screen for Chinese Stocks
Summary
The document outlines a Chinese equity screening idea combining three conditions: at least five moving averages converge, the opening price is near a ten-day average, and the quoted 9:25 change is below 6%. It argues that converging averages may indicate price stability, while the opening-price and pre-open filters may help avoid stocks that have already risen sharply. It also suggests adding another indicator, such as MACD, or tightening the price-change threshold.
No performance results or backtest evidence are provided. The accompanying code examples do not clearly implement the stated rules: one checks for distinct moving-average values rather than convergence, another describes a ten-day average but uses twenty-day references, and the final filter replaces prior selections instead of intersecting them. The source also describes the 9:25 change as an opening move, so the timing and data definition need verification before testing. Its cautions include missing fast-rising stocks, losses after a sharp decline, and limited coverage of short-term moves.
Key ideas
- The proposed screen combines moving-average convergence, an opening price near a ten-day average, and a 9:25 change below 6%.
- The author interprets multiple converging averages as a sign of relatively stable price trends.
- The document proposes adding indicators such as MACD or using a stricter price-change cutoff.
- It provides no evidence of profitability, and its sample code appears inconsistent with parts of the described screen.
