Hi Tesla,

If did you mean to 2% filter use this criteria to exit :
Exit Setup
Stop Loss: N/A
Profit Stop: 2%
Trailing Stop Loss: N/A
Minimum Holding Days: 1
Maximum holding days: 3

Also, percentage of winners is less important than the Equity Summary (At the top of the backtest summary page). 51% winners aren't bad if winners average 10% gain and losers average 5% loss.

The last year's backtest I ran returned about 62% winners.

There is an interesting bug when testing systems with a profit stop when you buy at the close. Yes, it does include the day that you bought when it considers the profit stop. I spent about an hour with an "unbelievable" system until I realized this bug. So even if you like levamit's 2% profit stop system, I don't think any of the results can be trusted.

The best way to trade this method (that I've found so far) is with a 7 day hold or RSI(2) > 55. Levamit's suggestion to simply hold for 3 days no matter what also does quite well.

olathegolf,
I like your idea with the liquidity, but I had to stop backtesting when I did 08-09 because it lost about 45% for the year I tested (March to March) - and any system I test that has a single losing year I have to discard right away. I'll try to do some messing with liquidity myself, but it may take awhile to find the time.

Best,

Tom

Hello Tom,

"There is an interesting bug when testing systems with a profit stop when you buy at the close. Yes, it does include the day that you bought when it considers the profit stop"
I didn't think that because when you add "Minimum Holding Days: 1 "this bug Disappeared !!.
Check it out.

First off, I like to thank Levmit and Tom for their work on this filter. I am planning to start live trading this on Monday. Correct me if I am wrong. The strategy is to buy the stock near the close on the next day the stock is listed. Tom's exit is 7 days or RSI(2), which ever comes first with no profit stops or losses. Levamit's exit is 3 days or 2% profit stop with no profit loss. Is the correct and thanks again?

HI bkhurana43,

Entry need to be at monday morning.
For 3/7 days.
I try to catch the shares that fell deep low and I noticed that a strong correction for 3 days.
I can not always catch them in the deep low, so Tom Recommend to hold seven days or RSI(2) > 55.
So sometimes you will see after you get out from the position couple of dates later the stock rose strongly.
