Chinese Stock Breakout Screening with RSI and Large-Order Flow

Summary

This stock selection proposal combines a momentum filter, a breakout condition, and a trading activity measure. It selects shares with RSI below 65, a positive product of price change and a measure derived from turnover and very large orders, and a close above the preceding period’s closing highs. It also requires volume to exceed the prior period’s average by a stated multiplier. The described lookback for the breakout and volume comparison is 20 days.

The rationale is to avoid relatively weak shares while seeking price strength supported by trading activity and an emerging uptrend. The article provides a formula description and a Python example, but does not report a backtest, risk-adjusted returns, or evidence that the filters predict future gains. Its code’s handling of large-order activity and price change is not fully aligned with the prose definitions, so implementation details merit review. The author notes market regime shifts, financial distress, and extreme price moves as risks, and suggests adding other indicators or fundamental inputs while managing position exposure.

Key ideas

• The screen requires RSI below 65 and a positive price-change and large-order-flow measure.
• A breakout is defined as a close above the previous 20 days’ closing highs, accompanied by elevated volume.
• The proposal combines technical, activity, and trend conditions, but provides no performance evidence.
• The example’s calculation details may not match its written description and should be checked before use.
• The author identifies changing market conditions, company risks, and sharp price moves as limitations.
