A-Share Screening with Positive MACD, Rising Averages, and Auction Buying
Summary
This A-share screening idea combines a positive MACD condition, upward separation of the day’s moving averages, and net buying pressure from the opening auction. The accompanying explanation treats MACD and moving averages as signals about price direction, while auction net buying is intended to represent near-term demand. It outlines corresponding indicator calculations and a Python example for applying the filters to stock data.
The article does not provide backtest results or evidence of predictive performance. It cautions that auction net-buying data can be noisy and produce false signals, and that a single opening auction reading may not indicate a lasting trend. Combining several filters can also yield an unfocused or ineffective set of candidates. Suggested refinements include improving the auction data’s signal quality and adding financial or technical measures, but no validation of those changes is supplied. The screening rule is therefore a candidate selection method whose usefulness would need to be tested.
Key ideas
- The screen requires MACD above zero, upward-diverging moving averages, and positive net buying during the opening auction.
- MACD and moving averages represent technical conditions, while auction flow is used as a measure of immediate demand.
- Opening auction net-buying data may be noisy and prone to false signals.
- A single day’s auction activity may not represent longer-term direction.
- The article suggests additional fundamental or technical filters but provides no performance validation.
