Screening Chinese Stocks with Weekly Moving Average Crossovers

Summary

This stock screen combines three filters: daily trading amplitude above 1, a weekly five-period moving average crossing above the ten-period average, and circulating market capitalization between 5 billion and 10 billion yuan. The article presents the combination as a way to find medium-sized Chinese stocks with rising price trends, then gives example indicator and Python implementations for selecting candidates.

The article offers no backtest, return data, or evidence that the screen predicts future performance. Its code examples also appear inconsistent with the stated rules: the crossover condition checks the averages against a lagged ten-period average, and the Python version compares daily moving averages rather than weekly ones. The authors caution that market capitalization alone does not establish company value and that industry, policy, economic, and company-specific factors require further review.

Key ideas

• The screen combines trading amplitude, a weekly moving average crossover, and a circulating market capitalization range.
• The article frames the moving average crossover as a sign of an upward trend.
• It provides example selection code, but parts of that code do not clearly implement the stated weekly crossover rule.
• The screen has no reported backtest or performance evidence.
• The article recommends considering company financials and broader market conditions before acting on screen results.
