someone bought 118,800 shares at $69.11, he doesn't believe it has much downside to spend that kind of money. I don't have a buy as yet on the 2-hr but it's looking like higher prices ahead.... unless the markets collapse.

Look at the equity per trade - I held it at $20,000 per trade . You probably just said to hold only 5 positions max. That allows for progressively larger bets to be place, and a higher overall return.

Hey Kevin, Thanks for all your help!

I have one question if you don't mind.

How did you test all 7200 cases so fast?? Do you use another program?

S&P 500
ROC(7,1) crossed below -2
ROC(80,1) above 20
close above MA(200)
add column ROC(7,1)
sort on column 5 ascending

draw ROC(7,1) line at -2
draw ROC(7,1) line at 2
]



According to help section the "draw line at" command generates horizontal lines in the indicator pane, but in this case I get a bunch of blue vertical lines in between the price and indicator panes. Is there another way?

The lines draw fine if you are using Flash charts, but only the -2 line shows up in the HTML5 charts.

SF - please confirm and fix if possible.

Kevin, I think you refer to the charts that pop up when you click on the symbol in the filter results?
I'd like to see them as well in the original results.
I think I do recall another thread where you accomplished this in some way but I cannot find it anymore.

It really is a pain to have to create workarounds when Stockfetcher makes a change to their product.

Kevin,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This problem has been resolved.

mahkoh,


For a number of reasons, we are dropping support for flash charts in the results. We hope to offer an html5 solution in the near future.

Best Regards,
StockFetcher

Thanks for the quick fix.

My reason for wanting to implement these two lines is to see how the ROC value oscilates between entry and exit as I found the filter to have pretty large drawdowns, especially during difficult periods for the market.
I was looking to see if there might be an improvement there by changing the entry from crossing below 2 to the ROC moving up for the first time after having crossed below 2.

sort on column 5 ascending

It's a mixed bag; underperformance when both filters perform well, but somewhat better when both perform poorly.
What surprised me is that this filter has about 50 % more trades than the original.
I have not done extensive backtesting on this yet as being a regular SF subscriber I can only test 4 month periods at a time.
