A-Share Screen for Positive MACD, Rising Averages, and Recent Limit-Ups

Summary

This Chinese A-share stock screen combines three conditions: MACD above zero, a rising and widening moving-average pattern for the day, and at least one limit-up event in roughly the past month. The post presents it as a way to find stocks with upward momentum and recent strong price action. It gives example MACD and moving-average calculations and a screening formula, then suggests ranking selected stocks by return on equity.

The author cautions that a recent limit-up does not establish long-term value, that technical signals alone can produce false positives, and that the approach lacks strong risk controls. The examples do not demonstrate historical performance or specify a complete trading and exit plan. Also, the shown limit-up proxy counts days when the price midpoint rose from the prior day; that is not necessarily equivalent to identifying an official limit-up. Fundamental checks and a defined risk process would be needed before treating the screen as a strategy.

Key ideas

• The screen requires MACD above zero and a short moving average above a longer one.
• It also looks for at least one recent strong-price-move proxy within about a month.
• The post proposes return on equity as a ranking measure after screening.
• Recent limit-ups and technical indicators do not establish long-term value or prevent false signals.
• The example price-move calculation may not reliably identify official limit-up events.
