Screening Chinese Stocks for Aligned Moving Averages and Prior Limit-Ups

Summary

This proposed Chinese equity screen combines three conditions: at least five moving averages converge, the stock had at least two limit-up sessions within the past 500 days, and its return over the past 10 days is positive but below 35%. The author interprets these as signs of price stability, prior bursts of momentum, and a moderate recent advance.

The post cautions that the filters cannot predict gains and that stocks with sharp past moves may pull back; a moderate-gain requirement may also exclude stronger performers. It suggests adding valuation, technical, industry, and policy information. These are screening ideas rather than a validated strategy: the document supplies no backtest, performance evidence, or detailed rules for defining moving-average convergence, and its proposed refinements are not tested.

Key ideas

• The screen looks for convergence among at least five moving averages.
• It also requires at least two limit-up sessions in the prior 500 days and a positive 10-day return below 35%.
• The post treats prior limit-ups as a momentum clue and moving-average convergence as a sign of price stability.
• The author warns that these conditions do not ensure gains and may leave the strategy exposed to pullbacks.
• No backtest or performance results are provided.
