Chinese Stock Screening by Price Range, Moving Averages, and Market Attention

Summary

This proposed Chinese stock screen first looks for daily amplitude above 1% and a price above a rising, diverging moving-average condition. It then ranks qualifying stocks by a measure described as individual-stock attention. The article frames price range and moving-average direction as signals of recent strength, while attention is intended to reflect market interest. It includes indicator references and sample code, but presents no backtest, measured returns, or evidence that the ranking predicts better performance.

The document warns that short-term price signals can overlook company fundamentals and longer-term prospects. Attention may shift with market conditions and need not indicate underlying value. It suggests adding valuation, dividend, or earnings-growth measures and possibly using machine learning to refine selection and parameters. The described screen does not specify portfolio construction, execution, or risk controls, and the code’s attention proxy is not clearly aligned with the stated ranking rationale.

Key ideas

• The screen combines daily amplitude above 1% with a rising moving-average condition.
• Qualifying stocks are ranked by a measure intended to represent market attention.
• The article provides no performance evidence for the screen.
• Short-term price strength and attention can miss fundamentals and may not reflect intrinsic value.
• Suggested refinements include valuation, dividends, earnings growth, and parameter review.
