Chinese IPO Stock Screen Using Turnover and Moving-Average Trend

Summary

This stock-selection rule targets equities listed in 2021, with turnover between 3% and 12%, and a 20-day moving average above the 120-day moving average. The article explains the short-over-long moving-average relationship as a trend or buy-signal filter and presents illustrative formula and Python approaches for assembling a matching stock list.

The note frames the screen as a way to find relatively recent listings with moderate trading activity and a favorable short-term trend. It also identifies limitations: moving averages can miss promising stocks, listing age and price signals do not assess a company’s prospects, and a few indicators cannot capture the full investment picture. It suggests adding measures such as profitability or valuation and considering liquidity and longer-term trend context. No backtest, measured returns, or evidence of predictive success is provided; the code sketch should be checked against the data source and intended date and turnover definitions before use.

Key ideas

• The screen limits the universe to stocks listed in 2021.
• It requires turnover between 3% and 12%.
• The trend filter requires the 20-day average to exceed the 120-day average.
• The article recommends considering fundamentals, liquidity, and longer-term trends as additional context.
• No backtest or measured performance supports the proposed selection rule.
