Screening Small-Cap Chinese Stocks by Turnover and Fund Flow

Summary

The document outlines a Chinese equity screen combining company size, recent trading activity, and an indicator described as capital strength. Its headline criteria are companies valued below 10 billion yuan, no losses, and previous-day turnover above 8%, with candidates ranked by capital strength. It explains that strong measured inflows may signal buying interest and that high turnover can indicate active trading. The article later proposes adding low price-to-earnings ratios and favorable industry characteristics, but it does not specify how to calculate or test these additions.

The rationale is qualitative: capital strength and turnover are treated as short-term signals of interest and liquidity. The document supplies no historical results, benchmark, holding period, transaction rules, or validation of the screen. It also warns that a one-day turnover reading and short-term flow measure may miss longer-term quality or liquidity. The article’s code reference is incomplete, and its initial criteria differ from the expanded final logic, so the screen would need precise definitions and backtesting before use.

Key ideas

• The screen selects loss-free companies below 10 billion yuan in market value with previous-day turnover above 8%.
• Candidates are ranked by a capital-strength measure intended to reflect relative inflows.
• The article suggests adding valuation and industry filters, but does not define or test them.
• Short-term flow and turnover readings may not represent long-term business quality or liquidity.
