3/11/2005 12:31:33 AM offset is 1 show stocks where price is above .20 and RSI(2) is below 1 and close is between EMA(13) and SMA(20) i went back as far as 40 days in SF and there wasnt a single day when it was not overall green. tons of results, can it be narrowed down or tweaked? lets play with it! |

3/11/2005 12:33:57 AM offset is 1 show stocks where price is between .20 and 3 and RSI(2) is below 1 and close is between EMA(13) and SMA(20) same green results, less picks and bigger gains ... getting somewhere maybe? |

3/11/2005 10:57:04 AM I received an error on: close is between EMA(13) and SMA(20) Not sure if SF cannot place a close between the two or not. Also tried: close is above EMA(13) and close is below SMA(20) which returned no results. Any ideas? |

" Well, either one of them can be above the other at any point so "above" or "below" wouldnt work right ... how about finding stocks approaching either one of the 2? is it possible to code that? |

3/12/2005 6:41:05 AM Hi, You'll want to use MA instead of SMA. The following should work: If you don't care which is above the close, you might try: Your entire filter would be: Note: The RSI(2) phrase reduces the results to zero so you won't see results with the above filter too often.

3/12/2005 12:56:57 PM some very tempting results using these conditions, anyone experienced with RSI(2) and know what other indicators compliment this setup? here is the main filter, then a few modifications i tinkered with ... offset is 1 show stocks where price is between .20 and 3 and RSI(2) is below 1 and avgvol(3) is above 150000 ------------------ offset is 1 show stocks where price is between .20 and 3 and RSI(2) is below 1 and avgvol(3) is above 150000 and volume has been increasing for 2 days ------------------ offset is 1 show stocks where price is between .20 and 3 and avgvol(3) is above 150000 and RSI(2) is below 1 and price touched lower bollinger band(20) |

3/12/2005 12:57:48 PM Steve thanks for the help, i guess the original filter i was working with didnt even use that EMA/SMA line so i still like the results when dropping the entire line ... |

3/14/2005 2:00:24 PM I took the work you guys had done and fiddled around with it a bit to come up with the following: Fetcher [ set{MAB, max(MA(7), MA(12))} set{MAC, max(MA(7), MA(40))} set{maxMABMAC, max(MAB, MAC)} set{minMABMAC, min(MAB, MAC)} Show stocks where market is not OTCBB and close is above minMABMAC and close is below maxMABMAC and Slow Stochastic(14) Fast %K is between 25 and 60 and Slow Stochastic(14) Fast %K has been increasing for 2 days and +DI(7) 1 day ago was below +DI(7) today and LRS(3) is above LRS(3) 1 day ago and LRS(7) is above LRS(7) 1 day ago and Volume is above 150000 and price is between 1.49 and 30.01 and draw LRS(12) and add column Slow Stochastic(14) Fast %K and do not draw maxMABMAC and do not draw minMABMAC and sort column 5 ascending ] Basically here's the thought behind what I tweeked it to become: 1. I used 7, 12, 1nd 40 day MAs because that's what I do everyday anyway. I use 40 in preference to 50, 12 in preference to 13 or 15, and 7 as the between of 5 and 10. I've used them for a while. 2. I tried it several ways and decided the best results were with closes between the higher of the three MAs and the next highest MA. 3. I exclude OTCBB 4. I use the LRS(3), (7), & (12) and the +DI(7) and the Slow Stochastic(14) Fast %K. My idea is that all but the LRS(12) have turned up in the last 2 days. The fact is that the LRS(12) will also have recently turned up or, if it has yet to do so, it will do so really soon. In my settings, I display the MA(7), MA(12), MA(40), and Bollinger (20) for all my charts. Anyway, I was pleased by the results for swing trading (I spot checked a bunch of backtest periods.... 18 days back, 60 days back, 10 days back and so on) Generally, it looked to me that the best buys were with the stochastic above 35. Below that, you seemed to get more false positives. Anyway, the way I think this screen could be used would be to buy on open on the day after the signal is given. If it gains 1.5% that day, then day trade it. If it goes down day 1.... well, perhaps somebody could advise what to do in instances where it closes down day 1. It seems that in most cases it is profitable in a period of 2 to 15 days. I think that you could trade it by setting a five day hold period during which you sell if it breaks a mechanical percentage stop or sell if it reaches some mechanical event like a certain upside percentage or mayby touching the upper Bollinger line. At the end of 5 days you could automatically sell. Maybe 10 days... I haven't had time to plan it out completely yet. For example, during the 5 day period, suppose you always bought 200 shares on open day 1. If it went up 1.5% day 1, sell. If it closed down, buy ner close another 100 shares. Then for the hold period, set a mechanical percentage gain to sell at (remembering that buying additional shares each down day dollar cost averages the overall cost down). So, each down day that it is still held (the fixed percentage gain not having been attained), you buy another 100 shares. Each up day that does not attain the fixed target gain, hold. My thumbnail figuring based on the limited backtesting I've done on this screen is that something akin to this plan would generally generate at least a break even in most instances. Anyway, until fully tested, this is only my first "off the top of my head" plan. A better one will probably materialize after thoruogh testing. I haven't figured out exactly how to trade it yet but it looks like a pretty good setup. Perhaps others could generate feedback regarding trading this setup. Hope this is helpful Imperial Whazoo |
