Chinese Stock Screen Using Moving Average Clusters, Weekly MACD, and Limit-Ups

Summary

This Chinese equity screen combines clustered moving averages, a positive weekly MACD reading, and prior limit-up activity. The article’s final version specifies six averages—5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 days—with at least six clustered, weekly MACD lines above zero, and at least three limit-up days during the prior 500 days, including two consecutive limit-ups and one non-consecutive event. It frames moving-average convergence as a possible support or resistance area, positive MACD as a bullish trend filter, and limit-ups as signs of activity.

There is a mismatch between the headline and the final rules: the headline says at least five overlapping averages and two limit-ups, while the final criteria tighten these to six averages and three limit-ups. The sample Python code is truncated, so it cannot establish how the rules are implemented. No backtest or return evidence is provided. The article notes that clustered averages may accompany weak trends, a positive MACD may follow an extended rise, and active stocks can carry higher trading costs and risk.

Key ideas

• The final screen requires six specified moving averages to cluster, weekly MACD lines above zero, and at least three limit-ups in 500 days.
• The article interprets moving-average convergence as a possible support or resistance area and positive MACD as a bullish trend filter.
• The headline and final selection rules disagree on the number of clustered averages and limit-up events.
• The provided Python excerpt is incomplete, and the article reports no backtest or performance results.
• The author flags weak trend quality, pullback risk, and higher trading costs among the potential limitations.
