MACD and Fundamental Filters for Selecting Large Chinese Stocks

Summary

The strategy selects Chinese equities whose MACD is above zero and whose symbols begin with the code prefix associated with Shanghai listings. Its rationale is that positive MACD may indicate upward price momentum, while the listing filter focuses the screen on larger companies. The example implementation ranks qualifying stocks by market capitalization and then applies positive gross margin, net margin, and return on equity filters.

The document describes a screening rule, not a tested trading system: it gives no performance results, benchmark, rebalancing schedule, or evidence that the filters improve returns. It flags market, business fundamentals, and policy as risks, and suggests adding further financial and technical indicators. The supplied example also relies on specific data services and historical accounting fields, so users would need to check data availability, publication timing, and survivorship or look-ahead bias before evaluating the screen. No position sizing or exit method is specified.

Key ideas

• The core screen combines positive MACD with a Shanghai stock code prefix.
• The example ranks candidates by market capitalization and filters for positive profitability and return-on-equity measures.
• The stated rationale combines price momentum with company fundamentals.
• The document provides no backtest or evidence of profitability and does not define entries, exits, or position sizing.
• Market, company, and policy changes are identified as risks.
