Screening Stocks by Turnover, Prior-Day Leaderboard, and Auction Buying

Summary

This stock screen combines three conditions: turnover within a stated range, appearance on the prior day’s market leaderboard, and positive net buying by major participants during the opening auction. The article interprets these filters as a way to find actively traded stocks with favorable sentiment and positive capital flows. It provides a formula reference and a Python example for applying the conditions to stock data, but no strategy returns or empirical validation.

The document cautions that the screen relies on short term indicators and leaves out industry, macroeconomic, and fundamental factors. It also identifies false breakouts and inflated trading activity as possible problems. Suggested refinements include adding technical measures such as relative strength or MACD, considering market themes and fundamentals, and applying position management and stop controls. These are suggestions rather than evaluated improvements; the screen alone does not establish a stock’s quality or future performance.

Key ideas

• The screen selects stocks using turnover, prior day leaderboard presence, and positive opening auction net buying.
• The stated turnover range is greater than 3% and less than 12% in the formula example.
• The article interprets the filters as measures of trading activity, sentiment, and capital flow.
• Short term signals may miss industry, macroeconomic, or fundamental influences and can be distorted by false breakouts or elevated volume.
• The suggested additions include other technical indicators, market themes, fundamentals, and risk controls.
