Screening Shenzhen Mainboard Stocks with Moving Averages and Valuation Limits
Summary
The described screen combines technical, valuation, and recent-return conditions for Shenzhen mainboard stocks. It seeks shares with at least five moving averages aligned or clustered, a price-to-earnings ratio from 0 to about 29, a price-to-book ratio from 0 to about 3.11, and a positive 10-day gain below 35%. The accompanying explanation treats multiple moving averages as a possible sign of stable trend, valuation caps as a way to avoid expensive stocks, and the return band as a filter for recent performance.
The article acknowledges that these cutoffs can exclude attractive stocks or future winners, and that extreme market conditions may undermine the screen. It suggests adding market capitalization or other trend indicators, and potentially loosening valuation limits. The supplied code excerpt is visibly incomplete, and the post gives no backtest, measurement of average returns, or evidence that the selected conditions work together. The screen should therefore be read as an unfinished stock-picking specification rather than a validated strategy.
Key ideas
- The screen targets Shenzhen mainboard stocks with at least five aligned or clustered moving averages.
- It applies upper limits to price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios.
- It requires the 10-day return to be positive but below 35%.
- The article notes that the filters may exclude good candidates and may struggle in extreme markets.
- The code excerpt is incomplete, and no performance evidence is supplied.
