Chinese Stock Screen Using MACD Contraction, Large Float Value, and MA Confluence

Summary

This note outlines a Chinese equity screen combining three conditions: at least five moving averages are described as overlapping, circulating market capitalization exceeds 10 billion yuan, and the 15-minute MACD histogram’s negative bars are shrinking. The proposed interpretation is that moving-average overlap signals relative price stability, the capitalization threshold selects larger companies, and shortening negative MACD bars may indicate a possible short-term turn upward. The article includes a code sketch, but it does not clearly define how many averages or what tolerance constitutes overlap.

The note flags that tightly clustered averages may accompany limited price movement, that larger stocks can still be overvalued, and that a short-term MACD signal does not establish a lasting uptrend. It recommends considering additional averages, indicators, and screening conditions. The supplied code appears incomplete and internally inconsistent, and the article presents no backtest, performance results, or evidence that the proposed signals improve returns. It is best understood as a rough screening concept rather than a validated trading system.

Key ideas

• The screen combines at least five overlapping moving averages with a circulating market value above 10 billion yuan.
• It also requires shrinking negative MACD histogram bars on a 15-minute interval.
• The article interprets the MACD condition as a possible short-term shift toward rising prices.
• Moving-average overlap and market capitalization do not guarantee attractive returns or fair valuation.
• The code sketch is incomplete, and no empirical performance evidence is supplied.
