@Graf. When both groups are compressed, do you read this as a bullish or bearish signal? Or do you use this in concert with some other indicator?
*Maybe the answer is that I should read the book. :)

@davesaint86,
It looks like the "$" in the line below is the problem, if I change it to '%' and then preview the message with the rest of your filter it becomes clickable. If I delete only that line it becomes clickable/active. Not sure why that would be a problem since it is only supposed to be a label....yet when I paste it all into a new filter window it executes even with the "$" in it..
add column atr(21) {Atr$}

@c1913
Check out the video posted by Mac on 3/13, at about 6:00 into it.. Compression = agreement over multiple time frames, but it's only temporary and could go either way. Whether you believed in an ema60 cross or an ema3 cross, everyone was in agreement that 'X' was the right price.
I cannot answer for the river rat, but I think Daryl Guppy and Darvas were trying to demonsrate a system based only on price action and player sentiment (either investor or trader). In the sections "No Secrets", he does a pretty good job of illustrating how we use "objective" indicators in a subjective way to reinforce our preconceived notions.
Read the book, look inward, and think you will be a more disciplined trader.

Just an idea: if you have Etrade Pro then you can easily make the Traders EMAs in blue and the Investors EMAs in red just like in the video.

I think the filter below comes close to describing the situation of the short and long term averages coming together. If you backtest it a few days, many popped the next day. some popped already. but he describes the averages coming together like the calm before the storm. I was just trying to capture that.

So, I've gone through a few of my filters with the Guppy averages and noticed that the EMA 21 is a solid support. Many times after an uptrending stock touches EMA 21, it goes back up and never looks back (actually started a new watchlist with those). Would someone be able to create a filter that finds uptrending stocks that takes a small breather by touching EMA 21 and then resumes its uptrend? I was thinking of maybe looking for stocks that have been uptrending for a few days and then 1 day ago touches EMA 21 and the next day it goes up (possibly on above average volume) and making sure that all of the investors averages are above one another. Let me know what you guys think.
