Screening Recent Chinese Listings by Range and Prior-Day Leaderboard Activity

Summary

The document outlines a Chinese equities screen combining three conditions: a prior-day trading range above one percent, appearance on the previous day’s trading leaderboard, and a listing date after the start of 2021. It frames the range as a way to find volatile stocks and leaderboard inclusion as a possible sign of short-term market interest. The post includes example logic in two Chinese trading-data environments and sorts selected names by closing price in one version.

The author warns that young listings can be volatile, a single day of leaderboard data may not represent broader conditions, and restrictions on insider or institutional holdings can reduce tradable float. Suggested refinements include examining additional leaderboard data and liquidity. No backtest, return data, or evidence that the screen predicts gains is provided, so the market-interest interpretation remains an untested rationale.

Key ideas

• The screen selects stocks with a prior-day range above one percent, prior-day leaderboard activity, and a listing date after the start of 2021.
• The post interprets range as a volatility filter and leaderboard presence as a possible indicator of short-term interest.
• It flags the volatility of recent listings, the limited scope of one day of leaderboard data, and potential float restrictions.
• Liquidity and additional leaderboard measures are proposed as possible refinements, but no results are reported.
