Screening Chinese Stocks by Intraday Range, Volume, and Opening Price
Summary
The document describes a Chinese equity screen that looks for stocks with an intraday range above a threshold, current volume above a threshold, and an opening price above the previous close, while excluding Beijing-listed shares. It frames range and volume as signs of trading activity and the positive opening gap as a possible sign of strength. The post includes formula and Python examples, though the implementation details do not consistently match the stated screening conditions.
The author cautions that the screen focuses on price activity and omits company fundamentals, industry conditions, broader market risk, and policy factors. It also notes that excluding Beijing shares may remove worthwhile candidates. The proposed improvement is to combine the activity-based conditions with industry, market, policy, and business information. No backtest, performance data, or evidence of profitability is provided, so the screen is a selection idea rather than a validated strategy.
Key ideas
- The screen combines an intraday range threshold, a volume threshold, and a positive opening gap.
- It excludes Beijing-listed shares, which may also remove potentially attractive stocks.
- The post recommends considering industry, market, policy, and company operating conditions alongside trading activity.
- The document provides no backtest or performance evidence, and its code examples do not fully align with the stated rules.
