Stock Screening with Moving-Average Trend and Afternoon Fund Flows

Summary

This Chinese stock-selection approach combines three signals: the 20-day moving average above the 120-day average, positive afternoon net buying by large orders, and a ranking by capital-flow strength. The moving-average comparison is intended to identify shares with short-term trend above the longer-term trend. Afternoon large-order flows and activity measures such as turnover or volume ratio are used to gauge market interest and buying pressure.

The document argues that afternoon flows may offer a useful view of trading activity, but acknowledges that flow data can be manipulated or distorted by market sentiment and liquidity conditions. Moving averages can also miss company-specific circumstances, and the description does not provide a complete final screening expression or empirical performance results. It recommends checking additional activity measures, looking at flows across multiple time periods, and adapting trend horizons to individual stocks. These are suggestions rather than tested improvements, so the rule’s predictive value remains unestablished.

Key ideas

• The screen combines a 20-day average above a 120-day average with afternoon large-order net inflows.
• Capital-flow strength is used to rank stocks by market activity and buying pressure.
• Flow measures can be distorted and should be assessed alongside other indicators.
• The document suggests comparing flows across multiple time periods.
• No backtest performance or complete final screening formula is provided.
