Turning MACD, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Averages into Stock Rules

Article BigQuant

Summary

This Chinese-language assignment turns a discretionary technical-analysis approach into a rule-based stock selection outline. It first filters the eligible stock pool by excluding specified exchange listings and special-treatment stocks, as well as firms outside a stated market-capitalization range. It then looks for a price above the five-day moving average, a positive MACD reading, and a price above the Bollinger Band middle line, with entry described around a breakout. The proposed portfolio holds roughly five stocks.

The assignment also sketches a strategy-development process: form an expectation based on market understanding and past experience, express the idea through indicators and explicit conditions, combine those conditions into a strategy, and validate it on historical data. It provides no actual backtest, execution details, risk controls, or evidence of profitability. The rules are a learner’s proposal and leave terms such as breakout and positive MACD insufficiently defined for direct replication.

Key ideas

  • The proposed stock universe excludes specified listings, special-treatment stocks, and companies outside a market-cap range.
  • Entry conditions combine price above a short moving average, positive MACD, and price above the Bollinger middle line.
  • The entry is associated with a breakout, and the suggested portfolio contains about five stocks.
  • The author’s development outline moves from a market idea to explicit indicator rules and historical validation.
  • No validation results or risk-management rules are included.
