Screening for Chinese Stocks with Recent Limit-Up Momentum and Rising MACD

Summary

This stock-selection idea combines three conditions: MACD above its zero line, a rising DEA signal line, and more than two limit-up sessions during the past ten trading days. The note frames the MACD conditions and recent limit-ups as signs of short-term strength. It suggests adding fundamental filters and other technical indicators, alongside stop-loss and take-profit rules.

The document gives illustrative selection logic and code, but no backtest or return evidence. Its code’s indicator comparisons are not fully consistent with the stated rule, and the limit-up count implementation is unclear, so the proposed screen would need careful reconstruction before use. The note also cautions that past limit-ups can distract from company fundamentals and MACD can generate false signals. The approach is long-biased and does not describe a short-selling method; risk controls and out-of-sample testing remain necessary.

Key ideas

• The screen requires MACD above zero, a rising DEA line, and more than two limit-up days in ten trading sessions.
• Recent limit-ups and positive MACD conditions are presented as signs of short-term momentum.
• The note suggests adding fundamental data, other indicators, and exit rules.
• No strategy performance evidence is provided, and the sample code may not implement the written conditions accurately.
