"Just made one change: set{P-up, count(P-1 > .50, 1)} Compare that to the original :)"

Nice change. That makes it more self-explanatory.

Again, kudos for getting the ball rolling (and offshoots growing) with the awesome gap-up filters.

TRO-

Your work is legendary. I had a question in regards to your "buy close, sell next day open filter" - if you first filter out for stocks that are trending MACD higher or maybe have a bullish MACD crossover, do you get a higher % of gap ups?

And, vice-versa for gap-downs?

In addition, it makes sense to me that if the general market (the nasdaq composite, for example) is "bullish," that the major stocks will tend to gap up more. And vice-versa, if the nasdaq is in a bearish trend (as defined by MACD), stocks will tend to gap down more.

I know you're against indicators, but does using a mechanical indicator improve results any?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

=====================================================

1) I am NOT against indicators. It is just that some people think the indicators are going to drive the price when it's the other way around. Once you are in a trade, ALL THAT MATTERS IS PRICE! I don't care what rsi(2), ema(5), ma(200), macd(12,26,9), etc... say, the only thing that determines profit/loss is PRICE.

2) The STATISTICS filters are just that, STATISTIC FILTERS. All they do is report on what a stock did IN THE PAST. It just makes sense (cents) to me to trade stocks that statistically move the most. The FADING THE GAP STATISTICS FILTER displays the statistics for filling the gap. This trading system was around long before you and I. All I did was apply statistics to the idea to identify which stocks fill the gap most often.

3) Feel free to modify any filter and test your MACD idea. But I am not looking for gap ups/downs, I am looking for gap fillers!

What you can make by trading ONE stock.

Note this is buying at the close and selling the next day.

If you are NOT greedy, you could "print" a $50 or $100 bill just about everyday trading 1,000 shares.

For those with larger accounts, WLT looks profitable.

I "discovered" WLT using my FINDING THE NEXT NTRI filter.

Hi TRO:

I am amazed at the simplicity of your filters. But they are eerily efficient... bordering on the "too-good-to-be-true". I was working on the extension to RFR filter with some help from Niko (Hey Niko! :) ) (very similiar to your Travel Guide) and you beat me to it :)

I was following your Fade the Gap filter and I found it be extremely efficient if you follow the below strategy (extension to your buy at close and sell at open strategy):

1. Identify stocks that consistently gap up
2. Identify their day range
3. Picks stocks that have gap up > 60 in the last 100 days
4. Optionally, you can filter out stocks that gap down < 20 in the last 100 days (but this usually filters out everything, leaving you with 1 or 2 stocks; so use this wisely)
5. Combine it with RFR filter and identify the num days it has moved > 4% (just to be safer)

Strategy:

1. Once you found the stock, buy at close and sell at open at 2% profit. This approach totally mechanical and yet insanely profitable.
2. When the stock in question changes (and it will after a while), go with the new leader.

I did some backtests and get over 100% ROI from 2002-2008 (except for 2005-2006) which is in the RED. I wonder why this year was special. Anyways, 5/6 isnt' bad :)

Also, I did some price effectiveness back test. The ideal profts are for stocks that trade between 35-40. Above 40, it is still profitable but the profit decreases. Also, <20 stocks is a hit and miss. Not consistent.

So, we need to focus on stocks that are between >35 for this to be really efficient.

This approach is beneficial 'coz it is an EOD strategy and you do not have to be in the live market to execute it.

So I have a few queries:

1. What is the best time to buy at close? Should we do an MOC order? or do a limit say between 330-400PM?
2. Once the order is filled, should we just place a limit for 2% profit the next day open?

Just trying to maximize the effectiveness :)

Please feel free to share your thoughts and thanks for your simple yet phenomenal work! :)

1. What is the best time to buy at close? Should we do an MOC order? or do a limit say between 330-400PM?

A) If it is purely mechanical then MOC

2. Once the order is filled, should we just place a limit for 2% profit the next day open?

A) If it is purely mechanical then limit for 2% profit.
