MACD Crossover Stock Selection with Volume Ranking and Five-Day Holding

Article BigQuant

Summary

This BigQuant strategy note describes a stock selection approach based on a fast and slow moving average crossover, identified as MACD-style golden and death crosses. It buys after an upward cross and treats a downward cross as a sell signal. The universe excludes specially treated stocks and Beijing Stock Exchange listings, and requires more than 270 days since listing. Candidates are ranked by trading volume.

The stated execution schedule buys at the open and sells at the close, with up to ten holdings and a five-day holding period. The page specifies initial capital of one million yuan and points to a strategy source, but provides no backtest results, performance statistics, or detailed indicator settings. The description also leaves unclear how the five-day holding period interacts with the crossover sell signal, so the exact exit logic cannot be determined from the note alone.

Key ideas

  • The strategy uses a fast moving average crossing above a slow moving average as a buy signal and the reverse cross as a sell signal.
  • It excludes ST stocks and Beijing Stock Exchange listings, and requires a listing history longer than 270 days.
  • Eligible stocks are ranked by trading volume.
  • The stated setup buys at the open, sells at the close, holds up to ten stocks, and uses a five-day holding period.
  • The note supplies no performance evidence or detailed parameter values.
