Hi Kevin,
Really nice job on your filter and thanks for sharing! Just noticed your last two backtest results had 84 stocks in Scenario 1 and 98 in Scenario 2. Any idea why these are different when the only variable appears to be a profit stop?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
You only are allowed 50 open positions at any time - therefore if you do not close them out with the 20% stop, they stay open longer and then you cannot buy into new stocks until older stocks have hit the upper BB.

Running the BUY screen at 2:30 PM shows BJRI as a candidate. It's down 5% today on no apparent news.
IBD ranking has dropped below 85, but this must be a very recent move. Still in play if it is below the lower BB at the end of the day.
Statistically, it is more profitable to buy at the close than at the open on the following day, but we are near or at a market top so those statistics may no longer be as reliable (look at STEC as an example). Not sure how I want to play this one yet.

Kevin:
I've been watching it since it popped up. So far it has dropped thru 2 support levals 15.92--15.70 and has so far held above the 3rd 15.35 by touching 15.36. Not sure either.
2 articles on Yahoo for STEC, looking good
BGS doing good also.

Support levels were determined by what method?
on 9/14, IBD ranked BJRI at 88. Today it is at 72. Odd, no way there was any change in EPS, growth, fundamentals, etc. Must be entirely price driven.
EDIT: at 3:50 PM, it has broken the 3rd support level you were talking about - never mind, it just popped back up to 15.36 as I was typing!

I can't find any reason or news out on it so I may hold off to find out why such a big one day drop.

BJRI volume going into the close not impressive. I'll hold off until tomorrow on this one.

Any chance you counld look at today's effective volume for BJRI? Is this a mass exodus of institutional players?
