Chinese Stock Screening with Positive MACD, Rising Averages, and Limit-Up Themes
Summary
This article outlines a Chinese equity selection method combining MACD above its zero line, upward-dispersing moving averages, exclusion of ST-designated stocks, and a selection process conducted before 10 a.m. It also invokes a “five-step limit-up” approach that looks for leading stocks in popular limit-up sectors. The article interprets positive MACD and rising averages as signs of upward trend, while the time cutoff aims to make selections early in the session. It provides sample formulas and Python code, but the code’s sector-to-stock matching and indicator calculations do not fully establish that the described conditions are implemented faithfully.
No backtest or performance evidence is reported. The article notes that limit-up candidates may be risky, early screening can miss later movers, and excluding ST stocks may omit opportunities. It proposes adding measures such as RSI or valuation ratios and comparing other selection methods. The screen is therefore a preliminary technical idea with execution and data limitations, not a demonstrated trading edge.
Key ideas
- The method combines MACD above zero with rising or diverging moving averages.
- It excludes ST-designated stocks and limits selection to before 10 a.m.
- The article adds a thematic search for leading stocks in popular limit-up sectors.
- It provides illustrative formulas and code but no backtest evidence.
- The article identifies timing, high volatility, and exclusions as possible sources of missed opportunities or risk.
