Small-Cap Stock Screening with Buying-Activity and Financial Filters
Summary
The document outlines a Chinese equity screening idea combining three conditions: a market capitalization below 10 billion yuan, no reported losses, and a daily increase in holdings above 5%, alongside large net buying in the afternoon. It interprets the activity measures as signs of investor demand and the size and profitability rules as ways to narrow the universe. It then suggests adding valuation, financial health, and technical checks, including price-to-earnings, current ratio, MACD, and RSI criteria.
No backtest, performance figures, or validation are supplied, so the proposed signals are not shown to predict returns. The description also shifts from the initial screen to a proposed version with specific thresholds, without explaining how to calculate or test the measures. Afternoon order flow and holding-change data may be noisy or provider-specific; valuation and accounting filters also need context. Treat the rules as a screening proposal that requires precise definitions, survivorship-aware historical testing, and risk controls before use.
Key ideas
- The initial screen combines small market capitalization, no reported losses, increased holdings, and afternoon large-order inflows.
- The author interprets holdings growth and large-order inflows as possible demand signals.
- Suggested additions include valuation, financial-health, and technical-indicator checks.
- The document provides no backtest or evidence that the filters generate profitable trades.
