Screening Chinese Stocks by Turnover, Price Range, and Limit-Up Activity

Summary

The document describes a short-term Chinese equity screen combining three conditions: daily price amplitude above one, circulating market capitalization above 10 billion yuan, and a prior session described as a third consecutive limit-up. Its stated rationale is to select liquid or volatile names with substantial market value and strong recent speculative activity. It supplies formula and Python examples, although the code’s conditions do not consistently implement the stated consecutive limit-up rule.

The article warns that this is a speculative approach that can neglect company fundamentals, and that consecutive limit-ups may reflect temporary market sentiment without predicting what follows. It proposes adding value, growth, quality, technical indicators, and company fundamentals as possible refinements. No historical tests, returns, or risk statistics are provided, so the screening logic should be understood as a selection recipe rather than evidence of a profitable strategy. The source’s formula and code also differ in how they express amplitude and recent price moves, making careful validation necessary before use.

Key ideas

• The screen combines price amplitude, circulating market capitalization, and recent limit-up activity.
• Its stated purpose is to identify volatile stocks with large float capitalization and strong short-term speculation.
• The article cautions that limit-up activity may reflect sentiment and does not establish future direction.
• The example formulas and code do not fully agree on the exact screening conditions.
• No backtest or performance evidence is presented.
