Selecting Chinese Stocks by Auction Activity and Rising Moving Averages

Summary

The proposed stock screen combines three signals: intraday amplitude above a stated threshold, ranking among the top five by that day’s auction amount, and short moving averages ordered above longer ones. The accompanying rationale treats amplitude and auction activity as signs of trading interest, while rising, separated averages are used as a trend signal. The article also sketches how to combine the conditions in a screening workflow.

No backtest or measured performance is provided. The author cautions that the screen leans on sentiment and technical patterns, omits company fundamentals and macroeconomic context, and may be vulnerable to short-term price fluctuations. The article recommends considering additional financial and economic inputs, but does not define how to combine or validate them. Its sample code and indicator references are illustrative and contain inconsistencies, so implementation details should be checked before use.

Key ideas

• The screen combines daily amplitude, auction-amount ranking, and moving-average alignment.
• The moving-average condition places shorter averages above longer averages as a trend filter.
• The article provides no performance testing or evidence that the signals predict returns.
• The screen omits fundamentals and macroeconomic factors and may be sensitive to short-term moves.
• Suggested additions are not specified as a validated model.
