Screening Stocks by Recent Returns, Investor Attention, and Fund Flow Strength

Summary

This note outlines a Chinese equity screen using three conditions: positive but moderate returns over the prior ten days, appearance on the previous day’s exchange trading-activity list, and descending ranking by a measure called fund strength. The intended rationale is to identify stocks attracting investor attention while avoiding the most extreme recent price rises. It suggests adding technical indicators and industry information to refine the candidate list.

The article gives no backtest, defined fund-strength calculation, or evidence that the combined signals predict future returns. Its sample code is incomplete and uses fields and conditions that do not clearly correspond to the described screen, so it should not be treated as an executable implementation. The note acknowledges that stocks meeting the criteria may still face pullbacks and that trading-list or fund-flow data alone cannot establish future potential. Any evaluation would need consistent signal definitions, reliable historical data, and testing that accounts for timing and selection effects.

Key ideas

• The screen combines a positive, bounded ten-day return with prior-day exchange activity and a descending fund-strength ranking.
• The rationale is to find stocks with recent attention while excluding very large short-term gains.
• The article suggests considering technical measures and industry context as additional filters.
• It does not define the fund-strength metric or provide backtest evidence.
• The accompanying code is incomplete and does not reliably implement the stated rules.
