Chinese Stock Momentum Screen Using Daily Activity and Weekly MACD
Summary
This Chinese equity screening example looks for shares with a daily amplitude above one percent, current trading volume above ten thousand lots, a higher open, and weekly MACD above zero. The document describes amplitude, volume, and opening strength as signs of trading activity, while weekly MACD is used as a broad trend filter. It offers a Python sketch, but no comparable indicator formula and no measured strategy results.
The author highlights several limitations: technical signals can overlook company fundamentals, a screen may select overvalued stocks, and single-stock indicators do not assess overall market risk. Suggested refinements include adding valuation or quality measures, more technical indicators, and market-level context. These are recommendations rather than tested improvements; the article does not define entries, exits, position sizing, or a complete risk process.
Key ideas
- The proposed filter combines daily range and volume thresholds with a higher opening price.
- Weekly MACD above zero serves as a trend confirmation condition.
- The article warns that a technical-only screen may ignore company fundamentals and valuation.
- It notes that stock-level signals do not measure broader market risk.
- No backtest results or evidence of improved performance are provided.
