Chinese Stock Screen Using Range, Moving Average Crossovers, and MA5

Summary

This document outlines a Chinese-equity screen based on price range, moving averages, and price relative to a short average. It proposes selecting stocks with an amplitude above 1, three moving averages in a bullish crossover configuration, and the stock’s average price above its five-day moving average. The accompanying formula and Python example illustrate the intended combination of a faster-over-slower moving-average arrangement and a price-above-MA5 filter; the examples do not provide a clearly validated crossover implementation.

The source warns that moving-average signals can perform poorly in unusual market conditions and that price above a short average does not guarantee gains. It suggests adding technical, fundamental, and sentiment factors, but presents no backtest, returns, or evidence that those additions improve results. The screen is consequently a rule proposal rather than an evaluated strategy. Its parameters and definitions, including the amplitude measure and the exact simultaneous crossover logic, would need clarification before reliable testing or use.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines amplitude above 1 with a bullish configuration of three moving averages.
• It also requires price to be above the five-day moving average.
• The document gives formula and Python examples but no performance evaluation.
• It notes that unusual market conditions can make the signals ineffective.
• The crossover and amplitude definitions may need clarification before testing.
