Screening Chinese Stocks by Amplitude, Top-Trader Lists, and a Morning-Star Signal
Summary
This document describes a short-term Chinese equity screen combining three conditions: price amplitude above a threshold, appearance on the prior day’s trading activity list, and a morning-star candlestick signal. It presents the idea that elevated movement and attention may identify active candidates, while the candlestick pattern supplies a potential entry cue. Example snippets outline how to calculate amplitude and combine the filters using market data and a technical-analysis library.
The text gives no backtest, performance statistics, or evidence supporting its claims about signal reliability. It notes that volatile stocks carry greater risk and that candlestick patterns can fail as market conditions change. It suggests adding other indicators and fundamental analysis, adapting the rules over time, and applying stop-loss or limit controls. The screening threshold, ranking, selection time, position sizing, and execution rules are not fully specified, so the description is not a complete trading system.
Key ideas
- The screen combines recent price amplitude, prior-day trading-list inclusion, and a morning-star pattern.
- The document proposes the candlestick signal as a short-term buying cue but provides no performance evidence.
- It identifies volatility and pattern failure as key risks.
- It suggests adding other indicators, fundamental filters, and risk controls.
