Chinese Equity Screening with Moving Averages and Capital-Flow Strength
Summary
This stock-selection proposal ranks shares by capital-flow strength, using measures such as turnover or volume ratio, and screens for prices above the five-day moving average and the 20-day average above the 120-day average. It interprets the price conditions as evidence of short- and longer-term upward trends, then suggests adding technical and valuation measures such as MACD, Bollinger Bands, price-to-earnings, and price-to-book ratios.
The document explains the rationale and names risks: capital-flow measures can be misleading, rising prices can reverse, and longer-term trend readings can be affected by market and policy conditions. It provides no backtest, performance statistics, detailed definitions, or implementation rules for the indicators. The proposal is therefore a screening concept rather than evidence that the combined conditions produce reliable returns.
Key ideas
- Rank candidate stocks from stronger to weaker capital-flow readings such as turnover or volume ratio.
- Require price to be above its five-day moving average and the 20-day average to exceed the 120-day average.
- The author proposes adding technical indicators and valuation measures for further screening.
- Capital-flow readings can be distorted, and upward price trends can reverse.
- The document supplies no empirical test of the proposed screen.
