Chinese Stock Screening with Moving Average Clusters and Shortening MACD Bars

Summary

This document outlines a technical screen for stocks with at least five clustered moving averages, codes beginning with 60, and shrinking MACD histogram bars on a 15-minute chart. It interprets moving-average overlap as short- and medium-term alignment and shorter negative MACD bars as a possible shift toward bullish momentum.

The article cautions that the approach depends heavily on technical signals and short-term trends, so it may miss fundamental information and longer-term changes. Its code examples are not a reliable specification: the MACD condition compares the MACD line with its signal line rather than explicitly measuring whether histogram bars are shrinking, and the moving-average example does not clearly implement overlap. No backtest or performance evidence is presented. The screen is best understood as a proposed technical filter requiring precise definitions and validation.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines five or more clustered moving averages with a 60-prefix stock code filter.
• It also looks for shortening negative MACD histogram bars on a 15-minute chart.
• The explanation treats these signals as possible evidence of aligned trends and improving momentum.
• The code does not clearly implement the stated conditions, and the document provides no validation results.
