Screening Chinese Stocks with Weekly MA Crosses and Market Attention

Summary

The proposed stock screen selects shares with daily amplitude above a threshold, a weekly five-period moving average crossing above the ten-period average, and an appearance on the prior day’s exchange trading-activity list. The rationale combines price movement, a trend signal, and evidence of recent market attention or capital flows, seeking stocks with short-term interest. The post also outlines formulas and sample implementation guidance for selecting candidates.

The author cautions that this approach may favor short-term excitement over underlying business value and that a single day on the activity list can be misleading. It suggests combining the screen with additional technical and fundamental measures. No backtest results or evidence of profitability are supplied. The sample code’s daily moving-average calculation does not clearly implement the stated weekly crossover, so the implementation should be checked against the intended rule before use.

Key ideas

• The screen combines an amplitude threshold, a bullish weekly moving-average crossover, and prior-day trading-list inclusion.
• The signals are intended to capture volatility, trend, and short-term market attention.
• The post warns that recent trading-list activity can produce false signals and neglect long-term fundamentals.
• No performance evidence is provided, and the sample implementation may not match the stated weekly rule.
