Screening Chinese Stocks by Valuation and Volume Expansion

Summary

This example equity strategy selects stocks using valuation and trading activity. At each 30-trading-day interval, it buys at the open shares with positive price-to-book ratios below 1.5, price-to-earnings ratios below 15, and volume between 1.5 and 2.5 times the prior day’s volume. Candidates are filtered for turnover below 20%, minimum listing age, and several exchange or special-treatment exclusions, then ranked by turnover. The portfolio is described as holding five stocks for one day, with purchases at the open and sales at the close.

The text says that holdings failing the stated criteria are sold at the close on the following day, which sits alongside the one-day holding description and leaves the exit schedule unclear. It labels the strategy an example intended for modification, but provides no backtest results, implementation details, transaction costs, or evaluation period. The stated initial capital is provided, but the document does not supply evidence that the screening rules produce an advantage.

Key ideas

• The screen combines low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios with a sharp increase in trading volume.
• The strategy reviews candidates every 30 trading days and buys selected shares at the open.
• It filters stocks by turnover, listing age, exchange segment, and special-treatment status.
• Candidates are ranked by turnover, with a stated target of five holdings.
• The exit timing is ambiguous, and no performance evidence or cost assumptions are provided.
