Selecting Stocks by Turnover, Trading-List Activity, and Large-Order Flows
Summary
The article describes a short-term Chinese equity screen combining three signals: daily turnover between 3% and 12%, appearance on the previous day’s trading list, and a high ranking for net large-order flow. Its rationale is to find actively traded stocks attracting attention and substantial reported buying. A sample formula and a Python-style example show how these conditions can be applied, with the latter also including a cutoff for listing date.
The document characterizes the approach as speculative and sensitive to market sentiment, sharp price swings, and changes in sector or policy conditions. It offers no backtest, performance statistics, or evidence that the filters predict returns. Suggested refinements include considering fundamentals and market context, checking volume with other indicators, and loosening the conditions to reduce indiscriminate chasing. The signals and examples are specific to the data fields and screening platforms described, so their definitions and availability should be verified before use.
