Today's post is a little bit different than most because it contains the charts of 5 Chinese stocks that are traded on US exchanges.  I began with a watchlist of 250 chinese stocks and used Barchart's powerful sorting functions to find the 5 with the highest Weighted Alpha.

In the most simplistic terms the Weighted Alpha is similar to a 1-year percent change, but in reality the Weighted Alpha is a lot more nuanced than that. The Weighted Alpha takes the input data and combines these into different trading periods, then assigns a weighting to each trading period, with a lesser weighting applied to the oldest period, and a higher weighting applied to the most recent period. Barchart then calculates a modified percent change for each trading period, with a cap on how much any specific period can effect the total result, thus eliminating large price jumps from the calculation. The Weighted Alpha is the sum of the totals of the weightings multiplied by the modified percent change, for each trading period.
