Stock Screening by Capital Strength, Popularity, and Limit-Up History
Summary
This stock-screening note describes ranking equities by capital strength and market popularity, then selecting those that recorded at least two limit-up sessions within a 500-day lookback. It treats these measures as signs of investor attention and stock activity that may indicate upside potential, but it provides no performance data or backtest results to support that interpretation.
The author flags that relying on attention rankings can omit other relevant factors and that the limit-up filter may favor aggressive, less stable stocks. Suggested refinements include adding valuation measures such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, and adjusting the limit-up threshold as market conditions change. The code excerpt is incomplete and does not establish a reproducible strategy or show how the proposed refinements affect results.
