Chinese Stock Screening with Turnover, Profit Growth, Volume, and Gap Filters

Summary

This Chinese equity screen combines trading activity, reported profit growth, volume, and opening price. It selects stocks with turnover between 3% and 12%, parent-company net profit growth above 20% and no more than 100%, current volume above 10,000 lots, and an open above the previous close. The article describes this as a short-term approach intended to find liquid, active stocks with positive earnings growth and an upward opening gap.

The article provides formula examples and a Python sketch, but no backtest, performance figures, or evidence that the filters improve returns. Its implementation has possible data issues: the Python example appears to use the same field for turnover and volume, and it hard-codes a profit-data period. The author also cautions that the screen focuses heavily on short-term signals and omits broader fundamentals and market context. The filters are therefore a screening recipe, not a validated trading system.

Key ideas

• The screen requires turnover between 3% and 12%.
• It filters for parent-company net profit growth above 20% and up to 100%.
• It adds a volume threshold and requires the open to exceed the previous close.
• The article provides example formulas but reports no performance test.
• The author flags limited fundamental coverage and short-term risk.
