Stock Screening with Positive Returns and a 20-Day Average Above the 120-Day Average
Summary
This post outlines a Chinese equity screen that ranks stocks by capital inflow strength, retains stocks with positive returns, and looks for the 20-day moving average above the 120-day average with an upward trend. The short-over-long average relationship is presented as a way to identify stronger near-term price direction, while positive returns and inflows are treated as additional signs of strength.
The discussion is conceptual rather than empirical: it reports no backtest, performance statistics, or precise return period. It warns that inflow data may be misleading, positive returns may reverse, and a moving-average crossover does not guarantee continued gains. Suggested additions include volume and turnover, technical indicators, and measures of market sentiment. The post does not define thresholds or provide enough detail to reproduce a complete strategy, so its screening logic would need specification and testing before practical use.
Key ideas
- Rank stocks by a measure of capital inflow strength.
- Require positive returns and the 20-day moving average above the 120-day average.
- The post also describes the moving-average trend as upward.
- Inflow, recent gains, and moving-average relationships can all produce false signals or reversals.
- Volume, turnover, technical indicators, and sentiment are suggested as possible additional filters.
