Screening Chinese Stocks by Moving-Average Confluence, Size, and Profitability
Summary
The article describes a Chinese equity screening idea that combines three conditions: at least five moving averages converging, a circulating share count no greater than 5.5 billion shares, and market capitalization below 10 billion yuan for companies without losses. It presents moving-average convergence as a sign of near-term price stability, the share-count ceiling as a liquidity consideration, and profitability as a basic business-quality filter. The intended use is to create a pool of candidates for longer-term investment.
The article offers no backtest, performance figures, or detailed definition of how close the moving averages must be to count as converged. It acknowledges market-price volatility, changes in company performance, and liquidity limits in smaller-float stocks as risks. It suggests trying longer moving-average periods and broader market-cap and float ranges, but does not test those alternatives. The proposed rules therefore serve as a screening concept rather than evidence of a proven strategy; they also do not specify portfolio construction, entry and exit rules, or risk controls.
Key ideas

- The article proposes the screen for assembling candidates for longer-term investment.
- It identifies market moves, deteriorating company fundamentals, and limited liquidity as risks.
- It suggests testing longer moving-average periods and wider size and float ranges without reporting comparative results.
