Screening Chinese Stocks for Limit-Ups, Dragon-Tiger Activity, and MA Clusters

Summary

This note describes a short-term Chinese equity screen combining three signals: at least five overlapping moving averages, appearance on the previous day’s Dragon-Tiger List, and more than two limit-up sessions within ten days. It interprets the moving-average cluster as price support, the list appearance as elevated market participation, and repeated limit-ups as evidence of near-term momentum. The proposed combination is intended to identify stocks with potential for further short-term gains.

The document offers qualitative reasoning and sample screening code, but no backtest, performance statistics, or evidence that the signals predict returns. It acknowledges that list activity does not establish fundamental value, while moving-average convergence and limit-ups can be noisy and do not guarantee gains. It also cautions that the approach targets short-term prospects rather than long-term direction and suggests validating the criteria and combining them with other market data.

Key ideas

• The screen requires at least five overlapping moving averages, prior-day Dragon-Tiger List activity, and multiple limit-up sessions within ten days.
• The author treats the three conditions as proxies for price support, investor attention, and short-term momentum.
• Dragon-Tiger List activity indicates trading attention but does not establish a stock’s fundamental value.
• The document provides no performance evidence, and the signals may be noisy or fail to predict future gains.
• The strategy is framed as a short-term screen and may not indicate long-term direction.
