Screening Metaverse Stocks with Positive Returns and Opening Gaps

Summary

The document outlines a Chinese equity screening rule that selects stocks classified in the metaverse theme, with a positive close-to-prior-close return and an opening price between 2% below and 5% above the previous close. Its final version adds a price-to-earnings ratio below 20. The post also provides examples of expressing the conditions in a stock screener and assembling candidate symbols from market data, but it does not report a backtest or live-trading results.

The opening gap is presented as a short-horizon filter rather than a measure of long-term prospects. The author cautions that large or small opening moves may not predict longer-term trends and that pre-open information can be uncertain. The proposed rule is therefore a basic screening recipe, not a demonstrated strategy. It gives little detail on the metaverse classification, data timing, execution assumptions, transaction costs, or how a portfolio would be formed from the selected stocks.

Key ideas

• The screen combines a metaverse classification with positive recent returns and a bounded opening gap.
• The final rule also excludes stocks with a price-to-earnings ratio of 20 or higher.
• Opening-gap filters are short-term signals and do not establish a stock's long-term direction.
• The post provides no backtest evidence or execution analysis for the screening rule.
