Screening Low-Priced Chinese Stocks by Intraday Range and Closing Price

Summary

This document presents a simple stock screen that selects shares with a daily high-low range above 1%, a price below 20, and a closing price below 12. It provides a formula and a Python sketch; the Python version also sorts selected stocks by trading volume. The method emphasizes short-term price movement and low nominal share prices rather than company fundamentals.

The accompanying discussion warns that these filters may overlook company quality, industry prospects, and risks common to low-priced shares. It suggests adding measures such as valuation, profitability, and volume analysis, along with risk controls. No historical test, return data, or evidence that the screen identifies attractive investments is supplied. The formula and implementation also differ in how they define the price range, so users would need to clarify and validate the intended signal before applying it.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen requires a high-low range greater than 1%, a price below 20, and a close below 12.
• The Python example ranks qualifying shares by volume.
• Price and range filters alone do not measure company quality or industry outlook.
• The document suggests adding fundamental measures and risk controls, without providing tested results.
