Screening Small Profitable Chinese Stocks for Short-Term Limit-Up Setups
Summary
The document outlines a Chinese equity screen intended to run before 10 a.m. It selects stocks with intraday amplitude of at least one percent, market capitalization no greater than 10 billion yuan, positive net profit, and no special-treatment designation. It then combines these filters with a five-step limit-up method and conditions involving turnover and recent lows. The stated rationale is to find volatile, smaller companies that are profitable and may be poised for a rebound or continued rise.
The post cautions that high volatility brings substantial risk and that a short-term focus on limit-up candidates can overlook longer-term trends and fundamentals. It suggests incorporating trend, valuation, earnings growth, relative strength, dividends, capital flows, and stop-loss controls. It includes example screening logic and code references, but reports no backtest results or evidence that the screen is profitable. The criteria and implementation are therefore a proposed selection process, not a demonstrated strategy.
Key ideas
- The screen combines price amplitude, a market-cap ceiling, positive earnings, and exclusion of special-treatment stocks.
- It applies a five-step limit-up method to confirm candidates for short-term trading.
- The post argues that smaller profitable firms and higher volatility may offer opportunity, but does not provide performance evidence.
- It identifies short-term focus, market declines, and volatility as risks.
- It recommends adding trend, valuation, earnings, capital-flow, and risk-control measures.
