Screening for Converging Moving Averages and Upward Trends
Summary
This Chinese stock screen looks for at least five moving averages to converge, with the averages spreading upward on the current day and the 30-day average rising relative to a longer average. It uses moving-average alignment as a technical way to identify stocks that may be entering an upward trend. The document includes a conceptual Python outline for filtering the stock universe, although the example is incomplete and its conditions do not fully explain how convergence or upward spreading should be measured.
The article offers no backtest results or other evidence that the pattern forecasts gains. It notes that prices are affected by market sentiment, company performance, and political and economic conditions, and that technical analysis cannot reliably predict future prices. It suggests using additional averages or indicators, but does not specify trading entries, exits, position sizing, or risk controls. The screen is therefore a rough selection idea rather than a complete, validated strategy.
Key ideas
- The screen seeks stocks with at least five converging moving averages and upward alignment.
- It also requires the 30-day average to be above the 60-day average.
- The example code is incomplete and does not fully define convergence or upward spreading.
- The document supplies no performance evidence and notes the limits of technical analysis.
- It does not specify entries, exits, or portfolio risk controls.
