Screening Chinese Stocks with Shortening 15-Minute MACD Bearish Bars
Summary
This proposed Chinese stock screen ranks stocks by trading-volume strength, excludes Beijing-listed shares, and selects stocks whose bearish MACD histogram bars are shortening on a 15-minute chart. The article interprets stronger volume ranking as a sign of capital interest and shrinking negative bars as a possible shift toward an upward trend.
The document gives qualitative reasoning but no performance figures, defined volume-ranking window, or backtest evidence. It acknowledges that the indicators mainly describe short-term conditions and may become outdated as markets move. It suggests using longer calculation periods and adding valuation measures such as price-to-earnings or price-to-book ratios. Those additions appear in the discussion of a broader final screen, but the original selection logic does not specify thresholds for them, so the method is incomplete as a reproducible strategy.
Key ideas
- The screen combines a volume-strength ranking, a 15-minute MACD histogram condition, and an exchange-based exclusion.\nShortening negative MACD bars are treated as a possible early sign of trend improvement.\nThe article offers no backtest or quantitative evidence that the screen is profitable.\nIt recommends longer horizons and valuation measures, but gives no parameters for those additions.
