| Filter Exchange · SF's answer to my question / problem on Long Term Debt | |
| marine2 msg #112128 |
3/9/2013 4:49:23 PM I have tried SF's two fundamental tools, the EPS and ROE and found them with enough companies meeting my criteria that I then put their statement into my technical filter(s) and made me feel pretty good I was getting companies that were making money. But, if there was the ability to also add in the Long Term Debt statement it would further assure you the filter writer that you were catching companies that were making money as well as having low debt. Time will tell if SF does approach the Long Term Debt fundamental and add it into our tool box of goodies to filter. On our home page go into the section showing "Fundamentals" (shown on the right side) and you will see those EPS and ROE filtering statements you can use. |

3/9/2013 4:37:42 PM For myself, I keep it simple and aim for the general trend for the SPY (S & P 500) index. If the SPY shows an uptrend has started you now have the green light to play other stocks following these 2 trend filters. The filters I mention below are: and price is above 5 and weekly macd(12,26,9)fast line is crossing above weekly macd(12,26,9)slow line at close This filter will show a trend to the downside now beginning to make its way upward. The pivot point is the cross over action between the weekly Macd(12,26,9)fast line crossing above the slow line. Note, make sure the downside part of the weekly Macd trend has been long enough to produce real upside price action for a longer sustained uptrend. The second filter to use if you want to be a hair early before the weekly Macd (12,26,9) trend upward begins, is to use: and weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K is crossing above weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %D at close and weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K is below 65 at close and draw weekly macd(12,26,9) Do your backtests against these two filters with a previous 3 month trend to give you an accurate feel for what those 2 filters will do against a positive stock action environment. I use the 06/01/2012 to 10/01/2012 time frame. The results will be pretty nice giving you assurance those two filters will work as nice upward trend filters. Remember, there must be enough downside trend to create a good upside trend. To exit each filter you: Exit the weekly Macd trend filter you: exit when the weekly Macd(12,26,9)fast line looks like it has run out of gas and is begiinning to begin crossing down below the weekly Macd(12,26,9)slow line. Try and not leave the trend too early. Exit the weekly slow stochastic(5,5) having two options Option 1 (exiting early): when you know the weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K has now risen high enough and begins to cross below the weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %D Option 2 (exiting later): when you see the weekly Macd(12,26,9) has had a nice run upward and your weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K has risen to an upper level and looks like it is beginning to decelerate and cross below the slow stochastic(5,5) %D. Or you can exit using at a specific "profit stop" % (ie 3%, or 4%, etc). Note: the higher you go % wise the more "open" accts you will see (meaning stocks still out there trying to hit your high profit stop). So, don't be too greedy. I use these two filters, I like them, they work for me. But, everyone has their favorites these two are mine. I hope you try them out and see for yourself if they are made for you. Goodluck and happy investing! |

| marine2 msg #112113 |
3/8/2013 2:17:21 PM StockFetcher replied back to me stating at this time there is NO "Long Term Debt" function / measurement that can be used in any filter. a few years ago SF did have a Long Term Debt measurement but they removed it. My question / problem with it is answered. I did however let SF know that many of us would like them to put it back into our filertering capabilities because of the fact it is an important measurement when using existing fundamental measurements such as the EPS, and or the ROE. Having a Long Term Debt measurement also to be used in your fundamental filtering would further assure us all we are searching for the best quality companies out there |

| Filter Exchange · Problem with accuracy of Long Term Debt | |
| marine2 msg #112007 |
3/2/2013 2:29:00 PM I was wondering if any of you have had trouble with the Long Term Debt coding as having a flaw? I tried running a simple filter showing this code: Long Term Debt between 0.0 and 0.1. I pull 136 stocks from this statement, I then went into Fidelity and pulled up a few of these I got from this filter and found 3 out of the 5 picks as having more debt than this filter expressed in its request. Either Fidelity's financial information is wrong or StockFetcher's program is wrong. Have you had the same problem? |

11/5/2012 1:50:09 PM Ha, even as I typed my subject for the previous problem your system didn't allow me to show my full texting in my subject line here in your backtest support section. What is going on with the texting in your two sections of SF? Again those being, your backtest listing page and now this backtest support page? Your kind support is always appreciated. |
