MACD and Rising Moving Averages for Chinese Consumer Stocks
Summary
This stock selection approach combines a positive MACD reading with an upward separation of short moving averages, then focuses on beverage, alcohol, and import-export businesses. It also proposes screening for companies with positive year-over-year net profit growth. The article gives formula examples for MACD and moving averages, and sketches a Python workflow using market history, sector membership, and financial data to combine the conditions.
The setup is presented as a screening idea, not a fully specified or validated trading system. The article warns that shifts in consumer or industry trends can make the sector filter ineffective, while unusual market moves can distort technical signals. Its fundamental screen relies on limited financial information, and the code example includes placeholder or ambiguous data references. It recommends considering additional technical and fundamental inputs, monitoring industry trends, and evaluating the selection logic through backtesting; it provides no performance results for this particular rule set.
Key ideas
- The screen looks for MACD above zero and short moving averages spreading upward.
- It narrows the universe to beverage, alcohol, and import-export related stocks.
- Positive year-over-year net profit growth is suggested as a supporting fundamental filter.
- Sector shifts and unusual market moves may undermine the signals.
- The article recommends broader inputs and backtesting but reports no results for the proposed rules.
