Small-Cap Volume and Price Signals with Market Timing
Summary
This Chinese A-share strategy combines small-cap selection, volume and price signals, valuation limits, and a broad-market timing filter. Its universe includes main-board and ChiNext stocks, excludes specified boards, special-treatment shares, and suspended stocks, and requires more than 252 listing days. Candidates need elevated recent volume, a recent limit-up move, several rising closes, a bounded trailing P/E, and a market capitalization below the stated ceiling.
The strategy holds 15 equally weighted names, rebalances every five trading days, and moves to cash unless the Shanghai Composite passes moving-average, MACD, and RSI conditions. The document reports backtest returns and risk statistics for 2025–2026. These figures are claims in the source rather than independently validated evidence; it gives no detail on transaction costs, slippage, survivorship bias, or test design. The short evaluation period and concentrated exposure to a particular market and style limit how much can be inferred about future performance.
Key ideas
- Stock selection combines rising prices and unusual volume with valuation and market-cap filters.
- A Shanghai Composite timing rule requires trend, MACD, and RSI conditions to be satisfied before holding stocks.
- The portfolio rebalances every five trading days into 15 equally weighted stocks, with other holdings sold.
- Reported backtest results cover 2025–2026, with no methodological detail on costs or robustness.
