Combining Money-Flow Ranking, Bollinger Bands, and 15-Minute MACD
Summary
This Chinese-language post outlines an equity screening idea that ranks stocks by a volume-ratio measure, checks whether price is moving within Bollinger Bands in a rounded pattern, and looks for shrinking negative MACD histogram bars on a 15-minute chart. It interprets the histogram contraction as a possible shift from falling to rising momentum. The post proposes supplementing the ranking with valuation measures such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, adding volatility measures to assess price stability, and using volume to judge the strength of a possible turn.
The discussion flags straightforward failure modes: heavily ranked stocks may already be overvalued, an extended period inside the bands may precede a breakout, and a shrinking MACD histogram may not be followed by a rebound. The material is a conceptual screen with suggested refinements, not a fully specified or validated strategy. It supplies no backtest results, execution rules, or evidence that the signals predict returns.
Key ideas
- The screen ranks stocks by a volume-ratio measure intended to represent relative money flow.
- It uses Bollinger Bands to identify a rounded price pattern and a 15-minute MACD histogram contraction.
- The post suggests combining flow ranking with valuation, price volatility, and volume measures.
- A high flow ranking can occur after a stock has already risen and may precede a pullback.
- A shrinking negative MACD histogram does not guarantee that price will rebound.
