Show stocks where the price has lost more than 10% in the last one day and the
close is between 1 and 15 and volume is > 250000

This appears to be a very simple but effective filter for quick scalps. My personal preference is
to buy a few thousand shares of the least expensive stock near the close of the day and then
sell the following day. If anyone would be so kind as to tweak or further backtest this filter,
please do so and share your results here. Regards!!

One caveat about the above filter--- it won't make you rich overnight, but you should see a daily positive
influence on your portfolio.

Scott, what stop % has worked best for you when a trade goes against you? Are you typically out after 1 day?

Here is one possible execution for the entry at the end of the day. I prefer to look for stocks where the liquidity (close price x volume) is above $1 MM each day. In that case a modest buy of $20,000 or so does not run into issues when you are trying to sell the next day.

not etf
close is more than 10% below close 1 day ago
close is above 1
close is below 15
count(close * volume above 1000000,10) above 9

Note that you got crucified on KCG last week. Have you looked at smaller drops (e.g., 5%)?

PRMW-- closed Wednesday at $1.15, went to $1.24 on Thursday.
DRL is today's choice, closing at $1.05 on Thursday afternoon.

It is my sincere wish that the StockFetcher community is profiting with this filter.
Cheers!
