Combining High Amplitude, Positive MACD, and Low KDJ for Stock Selection

Summary

The proposed stock screen combines three technical conditions: amplitude above 1, MACD above its zero line, and a KDJ K reading below 20. The explanation treats large amplitude as evidence of movement, positive MACD as a favorable signal, and a low KDJ reading as an oversold condition that could offer a rebound opportunity. It suggests adding indicators such as RSI and considering fundamentals when assessing low readings.

The document includes formula references and a Python example, but it reports no backtest, measured returns, or risk-adjusted evidence. There is also an inconsistency: the prose and title specify MACD above zero and K below 20, while the formula reference uses a MACD zero-line cross and appears to reverse the KDJ comparison. The amplitude formula’s scaling and the code’s indicator calls also require verification. These ambiguities make the screen’s exact rules uncertain, and an oversold reading does not ensure a recovery.

Key ideas

• The intended screen requires amplitude above 1, MACD above zero, and KDJ K below 20.
• The rationale associates high amplitude with movement, positive MACD with strength, and low KDJ with a possible oversold rebound.
• The document recommends combining technical readings with other indicators and fundamental assessment.
• No performance evidence or backtest results are presented.
• The formula references conflict with the written thresholds, so the screen needs clarification before implementation.
