Chinese Stock Screen Combining Dividend History, Trading Volume, and Price Signals

Summary

This post proposes selecting Chinese stocks using moving-average confluence, high current trading volume, a higher open, and a historical dividend payout ratio above 25%. Its rationale links moving-average alignment to trend stability, volume to tradability and investor attention, a higher opening price to market expectations, and dividends to shareholder returns. It suggests tightening the conditions by using more moving averages, average trading volume, a minimum opening gap, and a multi-year dividend measure.

The post provides no backtest or performance results. Its suggested final thresholds differ from the initial description, including a higher volume cutoff and an explicit opening-gap requirement. The code excerpt is incomplete and does not show a working implementation of the full screen. The post also acknowledges that moving-average concentration, liquidity constraints, sentiment-driven gaps, and changes in company finances can weaken the signals; the historical dividend condition may not describe current payout capacity.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines moving-average alignment, current volume, a higher opening price, and a historical dividend payout ratio.
• The post suggests using stricter thresholds and a multi-year dividend measure to refine the screen.
• The final proposed conditions differ from the initial description.
• No performance evidence is shown, and the code excerpt is incomplete.
