Chinese Stock Screening with Price Range, Top Trader Lists, and Daily Returns

Summary

This Chinese equity screen combines three filters: prior-day price amplitude above 1%, appearance on the previous day’s trading-activity list (龙虎榜), and a current-day return between -5% and 2.6%. The article presents amplitude as a way to find more volatile stocks, the activity list as a sign of unusual buying or selling, and the return band as a short-term price condition. It also sketches how to implement the filters in two screening environments and intersects the resulting candidate sets.

The article offers a rationale for the filters but reports no backtest, performance statistics, or evidence that they predict returns. It warns that market reversals and large-player activity can undermine the signal, and that a single indicator is not enough to assess a stock. Its suggested additions include technical indicators and fundamental context. The selection rules are therefore best read as a screening recipe, not a validated trading strategy; the article does not specify execution timing, position sizing, or risk controls.

Key ideas

• The screen requires prior-day amplitude above 1% and a listing on the previous day’s active-trading list.
• It selects stocks whose current-day return lies between -5% and 2.6%.
• The article interprets amplitude, trading-list appearance, and daily return as signals about volatility, capital activity, and short-term direction.
• The document gives implementation examples but provides no backtest or performance evidence.
• It cautions that market reversals and any single indicator can make the selection unreliable.
