Screening Chinese Stocks by MA Convergence and Recent Limit-Ups

Summary

This Chinese A-share screening idea combines three conditions: at least five moving averages converge, the stock has positive returns, and it has recorded at least two limit-up sessions within the past 500 days. The article treats convergence as a possible precursor to a directional move and uses positive returns and past limit-ups as signs of performance and activity. It also sketches a simple moving-average check, though the example compares the shortest average with the others rather than measuring how closely all five averages cluster.

The post gives no backtest, performance statistics, or precise definition of “convergence” or the return measurement period. Its own risk discussion notes that price-based screening can miss fundamentals and remain exposed to market swings. It suggests supplementing the screen with fundamental analysis, more historical data, or machine-learning methods, but provides no evidence that these additions improve results.

Key ideas

• The screen selects stocks with at least five converging moving averages, positive returns, and at least two limit-up sessions in the previous 500 days.
• The article interprets moving-average convergence as a possible sign of an upcoming directional move.
• Its sample code compares a short moving average with longer averages, which does not fully operationalize the stated convergence condition.
• The approach omits company fundamentals and may be vulnerable to broader market fluctuations.
• No backtest or quantified evidence is provided to establish the screen’s predictive value.
