Screening Stocks with High Amplitude and Positive Weekly MACD
Summary
This stock screen combines daily price amplitude above 1% with weekly MACD above its zero line and a MACD line above zero. It is presented as a way to identify stocks with recent price movement and positive trend conditions, aimed at short- to medium-term selection. The article includes indicator formulas and a sample workflow that scans Chinese stocks using weekly price data and MACD calculations.
The document offers no backtest results or performance evidence for the selection rules. It notes that the screen is based only on technical signals and that positive MACD readings do not guarantee further gains; prices may move sideways or fall. It suggests adding fundamental measures, capital-flow or pattern indicators, and market-trend assessment. The sample code's screening details do not fully match the stated rules, so the implementation should be checked before use.
