Chinese Stock Screening with MACD and Bollinger Band Filters

Summary

This post outlines a Chinese-stock screening approach combining a positive MACD reading with Bollinger Band conditions. Its prose describes selecting stocks whose closing price is above the upper and middle bands, intending to find shares showing strong upward movement. It also refers to company characteristics, but does not define that filter clearly. The post warns that relying heavily on technical conditions can overlook fundamentals and industry trends, and that short-term price swings create risk.

The material includes a formula reference and a Python example that calculates bands and moving averages, applies price filters, and then queries valuation data. However, the implementation and stated logic are not fully consistent: the code’s conditions do not clearly apply the stated MACD screen, and the prose and formula fragments are ambiguous about band comparisons. No backtest results or performance evidence are provided. The post recommends combining technical, fundamental, and industry information and adapting screening criteria to market conditions and risk tolerance.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen seeks stocks with MACD above zero and closing prices above Bollinger thresholds.
• The intended approach combines technical filters with an incompletely specified company-characteristics condition.
• The example includes price-band calculations and valuation queries but does not clearly implement every stated filter.
• The post warns that technical-only screening can neglect fundamentals and industry trends.
• No backtest evidence is given to establish the screen’s performance.
