Hi

I am following an approach similar to this filter since early days of my trading and have made good returns - I have neither made home runs nor have made millions but making steady profits - more importantly, by following this, I did not go belly up during the 'irrational exuberance' period
(only now I have results from backtesting in SF)

New folks, Feel free to use it - and - old experts, feel free to comment and make it better

Remeber, the statistics will change if you change the exit criteria

Appreciate everybody's input



Here is my filter

Show stocks where Average Volume(90) is above 500000
and MACD fast line(12,26) crossed above MACD slow line(12,26) within the last 2 days
and closing price > 1
and Fast Stochastic(5,3) Fast %K crossed above Fast Stochastic(5,3) Slow %D within the last 2 days
and RSI(15) crossed above 30.00 within last 2 days


Here is my exit criteria

Exit Setup
Stop Loss: 50%
Profit Stop: 10%
Trailing Stop Loss: N/A
Minimum Holding Days: N/A
Maximum holding days: 50

Short term (for 2-10days) it looks like a great short play.
At least now it showed 5 positions where the price touched the decreasing MA, my favourite short combination.

If I read right, I can understand why you don't make bigger profits, with a profit stop of 10%, which was triggered 80% of the time.

Your filter can be improved if you add ... The Price Earnings Ratio is less than 18
That brings the ROI up to about 100%.

However, what really controls this ROI are the numbers you put in for exit -- i.e. stop loss, profit stop, and maximum holding days. If you have more standard settings (exit of 10% loss, profit stop of 50% and exiting after a maximum of 50 days) and set this up for a year's worth of backtesting -- the ROI drops to about 9%. An added complexity is that it is not clear what is real info and what gets distorted by the way ROI is calculated.

I don't even look at ROI on the backtesting feature. It is very misleading, and has no relevance on how much you will make per 12 month period. What I do is take the Risk/Reward Ratio, and multiply it by the number of trades. So in effect, you are taking the (average gain per opportunity) x (the number of opportunities). This will give you a better number for comparison purposes.
