Screening Stocks for Moving-Average Confluence, Control, and Recent Limit-Ups
Summary
This Chinese-language post describes an equity screen combining three conditions: at least five moving averages clustered together, evidence of large-player control on the previous day, and more than two limit-up sessions in the prior ten days. It specifies moving-average periods of 20, 60, 120, and 250 days, plus a half-year average. The stated rationale is to find stocks with converging trend measures, notable trading activity, and strong recent price performance.
The post suggests estimating control using turnover and trading volume, and counting limit-ups from price changes. It warns that moving-average choices, the reliability of the control measure, market conditions, sentiment, and policy events can all affect the screen’s accuracy. It recommends calibrating parameters with historical data and considering other indicators, but supplies no backtest, performance statistics, or complete implementation. The included code excerpt is incomplete, and the described signals should therefore be treated as a proposed selection rule rather than demonstrated evidence of predictive returns.
Key ideas
- The proposed screen requires at least five converging moving averages, prior-day evidence of large-player control, and multiple recent limit-up sessions.
- The specified moving averages include 20, 60, 120, and 250 days, plus a half-year average.
- The post proposes using turnover and volume to assess control and recent price changes to count limit-ups.
- It cautions that parameter choices and market conditions can make these signals unreliable.
- No complete implementation or empirical performance evaluation is provided.
