betyerbottomdollar 169 posts msg #55166 - Ignore betyerbottomdollar	9/24/2007 11:17:38 PM Well awright, here you go. This is what I trade on in order of preferred trades. If the first filter and the last filter hits a stock on the same day, you bet I am going to enter the 60-day slope filter. All of these are applied to the Investor's Business Daily top 100 so I set the global filter to "apply to watchlist(ibd100september21)" and update the ibd100 watchlist every friday. Also, all but one of the exits are "Close crossed above Upper Bollinger Band(20,2)". That move is my limit and my stop. I test em all on the weekends...these backtests represent the latest watchlist tested for one year up to 21 of September, 2007. ================================================================ Fetcher[60-day increasing slope channel Show stocks where close is near lower bollinger band(20) ] There were 4 total stocks entered.

I haven't traded on it yet but it seems quite promising. There were 193 total stocks entered. Of those, 187 or 96.89% were complete and 6 or 3.11% were open.

Getting down to the nitty gritty, these filters basically take the best stocks, look for a pullback to buy and then sell at a high. Too much...copy...pasting...typing....getting late. Still have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to swing a hammer. But not for long....
stocktrader 294 posts msg #55167 - Ignore stocktrader	9/24/2007 11:22:21 PM Use my method and you can put all of those filters into "one"
betyerbottomdollar 169 posts msg #55169 - Ignore betyerbottomdollar	9/24/2007 11:36:00 PM Yeah, I would like to but I don't understand what you posted. Can you explain it like you are talking to a fifth grader? (I am a very intelligent and in second grade).
stocktrader 294 posts msg #55170 - Ignore stocktrader	9/24/2007 11:41:13 PM Easy. Deconstruct TRO's next NTRI filter. It is the most advanced thinking in a filter by anyone on SF, bar none! Then, go back and read my post again. Apply your own filter criteria. (math required)
oldsmar52 104 posts msg #55174 - Ignore oldsmar52	9/25/2007 7:31:25 AM For betyerbottomdollar: using the IBD100, your watchlist changes every week, right? Or am I missing something simple?......................Frank
betyerbottomdollar 169 posts msg #55175 - Ignore betyerbottomdollar	9/25/2007 8:18:53 AM You are exactly right. Though the watchlist changes (usually) by 5 - 10 stocks each week. Usually the lower ones on the list juggle around and the higher stocks stick around. AAPL has been on there forever.

Then, go back and read my post again. Apply your own filter criteria. (math required)" Thanks for the compliment. However, the filter is simple. Don't let the number of lines of code fool you. Those are there for the display columns. I had too create my own sort field because SF only allows you to sort on one column and I don't feel like downloading to Excel everyday. I use SF more as a REPORT GENERATOR then a stock selector. But every now and then, I'll find a stock in a position I can exploit. Like SCON the past couple of weeks.
TheRumpledOne 6,407 posts msg #55192 - Ignore TheRumpledOne	9/25/2007 3:47:27 PM I sure hope at least one fellow trader picked up on SCON today. Up over $3.50 a share... 60% return in a day!!
13th_floor 724 posts msg #55224 - Ignore 13th_floor	9/26/2007 7:26:16 AM "I sure hope at least one fellow trader picked up on SCON today." Quite a few fellow traders here were in it plus alot of other huge runners yesterday . It was one of the first stocks mentioned.
