A Three-Step Momentum Screen for Strong Chinese Stocks

Article BigQuant

Summary

This article describes a daily process for building a watchlist of strong stocks. After the close, rank shares by traded value and keep the top 30. From that group, look for stocks rising more than 3% on increased volume, giving extra attention to volume that exceeds a recent high. Require the close to be above the five-day moving average. The proposed entry is on the following day, when price revisits that average and appears supported; the stated exit rule is to leave if the stock does not reach the daily price limit.

The author frames the approach as a repeatable, rules-based alternative to discretionary prediction and says the filters can be automated with screening software. However, the document gives no backtest, trade records, comparison, or quantified evidence for its claims about likely continuation. It also leaves key implementation details, such as how to define increased volume and visible support, unspecified. The strategy is presented as an author’s practical method, with results dependent on disciplined execution.

Key ideas

  • The watchlist starts with the 30 stocks having the highest traded value after the close.
  • Candidates must rise more than 3% on increased volume and close above the five-day moving average.
  • The proposed entry is a next-day pullback to the five-day average that holds support.
  • The exit rule calls for leaving if the stock fails to reach the daily price limit.
  • The article gives no backtest or quantified evidence for the strategy’s effectiveness.
