Screening Small-Float Shares by Range, Large-Order Flow, and Returns

Summary

This note outlines a stock selection method combining three filters: daily amplitude above 1, free float no greater than 5.5 billion shares, and a ranking based on the rolling sum of price change multiplied by a measure of net large-order volume. The sample logic ranks positive values of that combined measure and selects a fraction of the highest-ranked candidates. The article frames larger price ranges as potential short-term opportunity and the flow measure as a way to identify market interest and institutional inflows.

No backtest, return series, or benchmark comparison is supplied, so the method’s profitability is not demonstrated. The article cautions that the screen may be sensitive to changing market themes and recent conditions, and that it omits company fundamentals, potentially selecting expensive or weak businesses. It suggests adding sentiment, technical, and valuation measures such as PE or PEG. The supplied descriptions and formulas do not fully clarify the construction and interpretation of the net-volume signal, so implementation details would need independent validation before the screen could be assessed.

Key ideas

• The screen filters for amplitude above 1 and free float at or below 5.5 billion shares.
• It ranks stocks using a rolling sum of price changes multiplied by a net-volume measure.
• The article provides no performance results or benchmark comparison.
• The method may be sensitive to market themes and excludes company fundamentals.
• The flow signal's construction and interpretation require validation.
