Screening Profitable Small-Cap Stocks with Positive Auction Net Buying
Summary
This Chinese-market stock screen combines price movement, company profitability, market capitalization, and opening-auction buying activity. It selects shares with amplitude above 1, market capitalization within the stated 10-billion limit, positive net profit, and a positive auction-related main-fund buying measure. The article interprets the filters as a way to find relatively active smaller companies with no reported losses and a potentially supportive flow signal. It includes example formula and data-processing references.
The author cautions that an auction net-buying measure may omit other capital flows and that a focus on short-term movement can overlook longer-term developments. The article suggests examining volume, turnover, historical changes in the flow measure, and additional technical indicators. It provides no backtest, return data, or evidence that the screen predicts performance; the market-capitalization units and operational definitions of the flow fields also depend on the data platform.
