Chinese Stock Screen Using Turnover, Ten-Day Gain, and Listing Age

Summary

The document proposes screening Chinese stocks for a turnover rate between 3% and 12%, a ten-day gain above zero and below 35%, and a listing age greater than one year. It says to run the screen before 10 a.m. The stated rationale is to combine trading activity, recent positive price performance, and a minimum listing history. The article recommends adding technical and financial measures and suggests machine learning as a possible route for refining the selection process.

It gives no backtest results or evidence that the filters produce attractive returns. The author notes that using the screen alone could lead to long holding periods and drawdowns. The sample code does not faithfully implement the described rule set: it checks a single-day percentage change rather than a ten-day return, and its turnover and percentage comparisons may depend on the data provider’s units. It also includes data dates that are examples rather than a general rolling calculation. These gaps make the prose a screening idea, not a reproducible or validated strategy specification.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen requires turnover of 3% to 12%, positive ten-day return below 35%, and listing age over one year.
• The document says to run the selection before 10 a.m.
• It suggests combining the technical filters with financial measures for a broader assessment.
• The article warns that standalone use may expose investors to long holding periods and drawdowns.
• The sample code checks single-day performance, so it does not match the stated ten-day criterion.
