Chinese Stocks Screened by Turnover and Moving Average Alignment

Summary

This document presents a Chinese equity screening rule that selects stocks whose codes begin with 60, whose turnover rate is between 3% and 12%, and whose short and long moving averages show alignment. The initial description calls for at least five overlapping averages, while the proposed final rule relaxes this to three and adds profitability and growth as fundamental considerations.

The document explains that concentrated moving averages are treated as a sign of price stability, and moderate turnover is intended to help focus on tradable names. It provides formula and Python examples, but these do not establish strategy performance. The examples also contain inconsistencies: the Python test combines all five moving average conditions before counting matches, and the turnover-rate units may not match the stated percentage range. The author flags the lack of fundamental analysis and the risk that a strict overlap threshold may exclude candidates; no backtest or evidence of returns is supplied.

Key ideas

• The screen initially requires a 3%–12% turnover rate and a stock code beginning with 60.
• The original rule asks for five aligned moving averages, while the proposed version lowers the threshold to three.
• The author interprets moving average concentration as a possible sign of price stability.
• The rule omits fundamental factors unless profitability and growth are added as proposed.
• The provided examples have implementation inconsistencies and do not demonstrate performance.
