Screening Chinese Stocks with Range, Reversal Candles, and Positive MACD

Summary

This Chinese stock-selection example combines three technical filters: daily amplitude above 1%, a reversal or engulfing-style pattern within the recent three sessions, and daily MACD above zero. The article interprets larger range as evidence of short-term activity, the candle pattern as a possible reversal, and positive MACD as a bullish condition. It includes example formula and Python references for applying the screen.

The article cautions that MACD can be affected by market fluctuations and that a purely technical screen omits company fundamentals. It suggests adding fundamental checks and other indicators, but provides no backtest, trading rules for entries or exits, or risk controls. The description also leaves some implementation ambiguity: the code references a candlestick pattern and MACD output whose definitions may vary across platforms. The conditions should therefore be checked against the intended data and indicator conventions before interpreting the screen’s selections as actionable signals.

Key ideas

• The screen requires daily amplitude above 1%, a recent reversal-style candle pattern, and MACD above zero.
• The article presents the combination as a way to find active stocks with potentially bullish technical conditions.
• It warns that MACD can produce misleading signals and that technical filters omit fundamentals.
• The examples provide platform-specific references but no backtest or complete trading and risk rules.
• Indicator and pattern definitions should be verified across implementations.
