MACD, Volume, and Gap-Up Filters for Stock Selection

Summary

This Chinese stock-screening example selects shares with MACD above zero, trading volume above 10,000 lots, and an opening price above the prior close. The stated rationale is to find actively traded stocks showing positive momentum. The article includes a formula reference and a Python example that calculates MACD and filters price and volume data. It also mentions checking whether a stock is at its upper price limit, though this check is separate from the core screening conditions.

The document gives no backtest results, performance figures, or evidence that the rules predict returns. It warns that volatile markets can produce poor candidates even when they meet the filters, and that relying heavily on MACD can weaken the approach. It suggests considering additional technical and fundamental information, but does not specify how to combine those inputs. The phrase “enterprise nature” appears in the headline and screening description but is not defined, so that criterion cannot be translated into a reproducible rule from the text alone.

Key ideas

• The screen looks for stocks with MACD above zero, volume above 10,000 lots, and an opening gap above the previous close.
• The article frames these conditions as a way to find actively traded shares with positive momentum.
• The provided examples implement the price, volume, and MACD filters, with a separate upper-limit check in the Python illustration.
• The document reports no test results and cautions that market volatility and dependence on one indicator may undermine the screen.
• It proposes adding other technical and fundamental factors without defining a tested combination.
