A-Sharpe MACD and Opening-Price Stock Screen
Summary
This Chinese A-share screening example combines a positive MACD reading with an upward-moving-average condition and a limit on the stock’s price change around the market open. It describes the intended interpretation as selecting stocks with upward momentum while avoiding names that have already made a large early move. The article provides indicator formulas, a screening expression, a sorting rule, and illustrative Python code. It ranks qualifying stocks by the specified opening-period price change.
The material is a rule sketch rather than a tested strategy: it reports no backtest, returns, or risk-adjusted results. The formulas and code are not fully consistent about the moving-average condition, and the described 9:25 observation is not clearly aligned with all of the price fields used in the examples. The author notes that the filter is narrow, considers little beyond early-session movement, and omits fundamentals and broader market conditions. Volume, other technical indicators, and company fundamentals are suggested as possible additions, but their value is not evaluated.
Key ideas
- The screen combines a positive MACD condition with an upward-trend filter and a cap on early price movement.
- The article interprets positive MACD and rising averages as signs of upward momentum.
- Qualifying stocks are sorted by the specified price-change measure.
- The article provides formulas and sample code but no performance evidence.
- The author cautions that the screen ignores fundamentals and later market developments.
