A-Share Screening by Volatility and Institutional Buying
Summary
This note describes a Chinese equity screen that excludes Beijing-listed shares, selects stocks with a daily high-low range above one percent, and seeks evidence of institutional buying. It frames institutional accumulation as a possible sign of undervaluation, then recommends checking fundamentals and market sentiment before choosing stocks for longer-term potential. The document gives a partial Python outline, but leaves the institutional-buying and final selection steps unspecified.
No backtest, performance figures, or evidence is supplied to show that the criteria predict returns. The note also flags that institutional buying data may be hard to obtain, may be temporary, and can invite short-term crowd-following. The proposed screen is therefore a starting point rather than a fully defined or validated strategy; its regional exclusions and measurement rules would need clarification before implementation.
Key ideas
- The screen excludes Beijing-listed shares and requires a daily price range above one percent.
- It treats institutional buying as a possible sign of undervaluation, but does not define how to measure it.
- The note recommends combining flow signals with fundamentals and market sentiment.
- Temporary institutional buying and an emphasis on short-term gains are identified as risks.
