Combining RSI, MACD, and Recent Limit-Up Activity in an A-Share Screen

Summary

This A-share selection method looks for stocks with RSI below 65, MACD above zero, and more than two limit-up sessions during the prior ten days. The note interprets RSI as a gauge of market condition, positive MACD as a sign of an upward or consolidating phase, and repeated limit-ups as evidence of market attention. It gives indicator definitions and a Python example, although the code’s limit-up calculation does not clearly match the stated ten-day count.

The author notes that recently popular stocks may carry short-term speculative risk, and that a simple count of limit-up days can be manipulated or miss meaningful differences in how those moves occurred. Suggested refinements include assessing limit-up strength and timing, alongside capital flows, float size, and trading volume. No backtest or performance evidence is supplied, so the screen remains an unvalidated signal combination.

Key ideas

• The screen requires RSI below 65, MACD above zero, and more than two limit-up days within ten days.
• The indicators combine momentum and market-activity filters to identify heavily traded stocks.
• The article warns that recent limit-up activity can signal speculation and can be vulnerable to manipulation.
• It suggests differentiating limit-up events and adding capital-flow, float, and volume information.
• The document offers no performance results, and its example code may not accurately implement the stated event count.
