Chinese Stock Screening with Moving-Average Alignment and Trend Filters

Summary

This screen combines three conditions: at least five moving averages overlapping, no limit-up session on the prior day, and the 20-day average above the 120-day average. The document interprets moving-average overlap as agreement among shorter and intermediate trends, and the relative position of the 20-day and 120-day averages as evidence that the shorter trend is stronger. It proposes choosing the clearest trend when several stocks qualify.

The source acknowledges that market uncertainty and volatility can undermine the approach and suggests adding more averages or other technical indicators. It supplies a brief code example, but the example is incomplete and does not clearly implement all stated conditions. No backtest, return data, or evaluation is offered, so the rationale remains a heuristic rather than demonstrated predictive evidence.

Key ideas

• The screen looks for overlap among at least five moving averages and a 20-day average above the 120-day average.
• It excludes stocks that reached the price limit on the previous day.
• The document treats moving-average alignment as a sign of trend agreement, without providing empirical validation.
• It warns that volatility and market uncertainty may reduce the screen’s effectiveness.
