Chinese Stock Screening with MACD, Bid Volume, Market Cap, and Profitability

Read the original

Summary

The proposed Chinese equity screen combines a positive MACD reading with order-book and company filters: first-level bid volume must exceed first-level ask volume, market capitalization must be no more than 10 billion yuan, and net profit must be positive. The accompanying discussion frames these conditions as a mix of technical momentum, apparent buying interest, smaller company size, and current profitability. The page also mentions use of a standard MACD parameterization and shows a daily selection and portfolio allocation workflow.

The article identifies several broad limitations: a market-cap and profit filter can exclude other businesses, the resulting sample may be small, and technical and fundamental inputs omit wider market conditions. It suggests considering liquidity, industry competition, and broader conditions, but does not define precise tests for these additions. No historical backtest results, transaction-cost assumptions, or risk-adjusted performance evidence are given, so the screen is a proposal rather than a validated strategy. Its code example also contains an apparent conditional issue in how it combines the empty-fundamentals check with the other filters, which may prevent the intended selection logic from being applied reliably.

Key ideas

  • The screen requires MACD above zero, first-level bid volume greater than ask volume, market cap at or below 10 billion yuan, and positive net profit.
  • The conditions combine a momentum indicator, an order-book quantity comparison, company size, and profitability.
  • The article notes that the filters may narrow the universe and omit relevant market and business factors.
  • Liquidity, industry competition, and broader conditions are proposed as possible additions, but no exact methodology is specified.
  • The article provides no backtest results or cost analysis, and its code example has a potentially faulty filter condition.
