Chinese Beverage Stocks Screened by MACD, Industry, and 10-Day Return

Summary

The document describes a Chinese stock-selection rule for beverage-related industries. It selects stocks with MACD above zero, membership in beverage manufacturing, beer, or liquor categories, and a 10-day price gain from zero up to but excluding 35 percent. The article also discusses an industry trade-data condition and its sample formulas add a condition that the indicator is rising; the code further ranks by circulating market capitalization and limits the selection to 20 names. An example portfolio equal-weights selected stocks and exits holdings after a 5 percent decline from cost basis.

The rationale combines a positive trend signal, an industry filter, and a short-term return range. The text notes that MACD can lag, trade conditions can fluctuate, and 10-day returns can reflect temporary sentiment. It suggests adding other technical and fundamental measures or testing different return bands, but provides no backtest results to support these changes. The screen’s performance and the implementation of its trade-data filter are therefore not established by the document.

Key ideas

• The screen requires MACD above zero, a beverage-related industry classification, and a 10-day return between zero and 35 percent.
• The sample formula also includes a rising-indicator condition and ranks candidates by circulating market capitalization.
• The portfolio example allocates equal value to selected stocks and exits after a 5 percent loss from cost basis.
• The document identifies lagging MACD, volatile trade conditions, and short-term sentiment as risks.
• Suggested additions include other technical indicators, valuation measures, and alternative return thresholds.
• No performance results are supplied to validate the screen or suggested refinements.
