Screening Chinese Stocks with Positive MACD and Main-Flow Signals
Summary
This stock-selection idea combines a positive MACD reading with company-type screening and a ranking based on net activity attributed to large orders. The stated rationale is that MACD above zero may indicate an upward price trend, while the large-order measure is intended to reflect capital interest. The accompanying formula and Python example approximate the screen using positive MACD and positive main net inflow, alongside traded volume and a stock universe drawn from a major Chinese index.
The page supplies implementation references but no backtest, performance results, or precise definition of the company-type filter. It cautions that company classification alone may omit important financial measures, and that MACD and large-order flows can reflect sentiment or motives unrelated to a positive view of the stock. The example code and stated selection logic do not align completely, so the exact intended rules would need clarification before evaluation.
Key ideas
- The proposed screen selects equities with MACD above zero and considers company type and large-order net-flow ranking.
- Positive MACD is used as a proxy for an upward price trend.
- The implementation example filters for positive main net inflow, but it does not fully specify the company-type criterion.
- Large-order flows can have causes other than optimism about a stock.
- The document provides no evidence that the screen is profitable or robust.
