That's how one gets started posting filters- Now the fun starts when one comes up with other ideas to add or take away

For me, It all comes down to time-frame and draw-down acceptance.
My trades are a week or 2 with less than a 4% DD and minimum 5% profit target. This is how I make a living so buy and hold is a none starter for me.
I also think a single filter in not the answer, I use 3 that are built around a system. Not all setups work in every market type, also shorting should be used as regularly as going long.
Just a little background, I continually beat the market year after year and avg 7%-10% my book each month pretty easy with a stress free system.
Here is a filter use alot.
price is above 20
ema(21) crossed above ema(30)
ema(30) is above ema(50)
ema(50) is above ma(110)
ma(110) is above ma(200)
volume is greater than 300000

IPB, Thanks for the filter, will play around with it. If I could make 7-10% per month, I'd be dancing a jig(if I could dance).

Irish, can you detail how you actually execute trades? Market on open? Limit? This is the kind of information that is sorely lacking throughout stockfetcher. What starts out as a good probability scenario can be completely negated without an effective execution system. I nearly never hear folks on SF talk about how they real-world implement their setups. Thanks.

This filter (I call it Calvins favorite for lack of a better name) seems to be doing OK, at least in the short term. 13% on GPL yesterday and 16% on BCEI today. I am sitting on GLBL and XCO, with an after hours order in for VIAB. Only time will tell. By the way, I am a newby and any comments to help me along are welcomed

Sure no problem. Here is 1st one that triggered this year, during a really rough trading period. 8% in 3 days after it triggered. I think I covered everything in the chart. I usually take the 5 day low as the stop. It's subjective but works really well.

You could add this to the filter and get a stop and profit target column added.
set{ iTargetPrice , ATR(14) * 3 }
set{ Target , itargetprice +high}
add column Target
set{ iStopPrice , close * -.07 }
set{ Stop , istopprice +close}
add column Stop
set{B, Target}
set{A, high}
set{C, B - A}
set{Profit, C/A}
add column Profit
