Equity Screening with Money Flow, Low Concentration, and Moving Averages
Summary
This stock-screening concept ranks equities by a measure of money strength, using net inflows and turnover as examples, and combines that ranking with a 20-day moving average above the 120-day average. It also refers to a concentration condition expressed as a 70-versus-20 threshold, interpreting lower concentration as potentially indicating less market attention. The article treats the moving-average relationship as an upward trend and suggests that inflow measures may reflect investor interest.
The proposed refinement is to combine several flow indicators, such as net inflows, turnover, and volume ratio, and to use market capitalization or circulating market capitalization to assess concentration. The article warns that unusually large inflows may accompany price bubbles and that a low-concentration stock in an uptrend may still fail to meet expectations. It supplies no precise operational definition for the concentration measure, full selection formula, backtest, or performance figures, so the screen is conceptual and would need clearer specifications before implementation.
Key ideas
- The concept ranks stocks by money strength, with net inflows and turnover given as example measures.
- It pairs that ranking with the 20-day moving average above the 120-day average.
- A concentration condition is described as a 70-versus-20 threshold, but its calculation is not fully specified.
- The article proposes combining multiple flow and size measures.
- Large inflows and low concentration do not guarantee favorable returns, and no performance evidence is given.
