Screening Stocks with Daily and Weekly MACD Above Zero and High Attention

Summary

This Chinese A-share screening proposal looks for stocks with daily MACD above zero and weekly MACD above zero, then ranks eligible names by a market-attention measure. The selection is intended to run after the weekly close. Its accompanying example calculates MACD using standard exponential moving average periods, aggregates daily observations into weekly records, filters by daily and weekly indicator conditions, and sorts by attention.

The article explains the indicators as measures of trend and the attention ranking as a measure of market interest, but provides no backtest or performance results. It warns that technical signals may be wrong, high attention can accompany speculation, and screening without fundamental analysis may overlook changes in business performance. Weekly aggregation details and the attention measure’s construction are not fully established in the text, so implementations would need to verify that the signals use completed bars and reliable data. The screen is presented as a candidate-selection rule, not a complete trading system.

Key ideas

• The screen requires both daily and weekly MACD to be above zero.
• Eligible stocks are ranked by a market-attention measure after the weekly close.
• The example derives weekly observations from daily stock data and computes MACD from exponential averages.
• The article reports no performance test and warns about false signals, speculative attention, and missing fundamental analysis.
