Thats interesting Cacher -- I simply got my stock listing from my Trading Markets screening lists .... turns out there were some double digit losses which would have been good shorts -- however, i realized after i posted them some were low priced stocks -- not sure whether they would be available to short or not -
In practice I try to stick to higher priced shares with decent volume when shorting ...

13th .... you have some amazing picks !! .... what does your screen look like ?
===================================================
I'd like to know as well.
I've never had success with pennies and had to give them up.
I'd like to KNOW what criteria Muddy uses to filter out the "good" from the bad.
A lot of them are just POS.
So, what's the secret?
Inquiring minds want to know ...??
;>)
(BTW, some years ago, Muddy created a filter re: Boll.Bands widths. Basically the stock moved in a narrow trading range for 30-90 days, and then suddenly had a HUGE volume spurt, but the price of the stock didn't move much. THAT was the signal. Someone on this board was recently trying to get a filter written for this. I don't know what happened.)

Not for shorting ... but I dug up one of the infamous Muddy's screens ... the 3 day fail. The results are few ... but, Oh So Sweet ! Here is a copy that was posted in the public filters here !
Matches from original Muddy filter 3 days ago and since then whether or not each day they; 1) Close down AND 2) Either have a longer tail than top tail OR have a higher volume than the previous day. Enter on green hold.

How do you backtest this?
Does "date offset" not work anymore?
(no, I haven't backtested anything in YEARS! lol!)

Karen, I don't know what the old filter posted on the site looks like for finding stocks that have high volume but price doesn't change much, but here's one I've been working with recently.
Have done some backtesting with some variations of this but haven't found anything yet that works definitely or consistently for predicting which ones are going to break out.
You can adjust the settings for different results. For example, the smaller the factor in the atr_max line, the tighter the price range the day of the higher volume. On variation that might be worth trying would be to look for stocks that are in a fairly flat price channel when this high vol hits.

OK - I'll give this a try.
I've been looking at Pascal Willain's idea of Effective Volume (an approach that purports to segregate Large Player money movements from small player money movement in or out of a stock). One can look at a number of market segments and individual stocks for free at his web site Effective Volume. If I am reading his graphs correctly, my list for shorts and longs would be as follows:
Shorts:
ZMH CTSH LOGI LBTYA URBN RIMM HRL WBK AVP MDT HUBG HPQ TER
Longs:
SGI DISH DISCA WCRX ABV COP APOL FDO VLO HUM KR
This is based on a sharp decrease or increase in the flow of Large Player money in a given stock, preferably without seeing a corresponding price change yet - price should be relatively unchanged as the big player money is exiting.
Just for fun, I have set up mock portfolios for these two lists on Yahoo. I'll track them over the next two weeks or so to see if there is credence to this approach.
