I get Hernia from reading these posts! Of course it is the same filter... I improved the EXIT Statistics not the TRADE Statistics.
Obviously you want better Trade Statistics. I tried improving the filter, but I don't have enough filters in my tool shed. LOL

IrishPB,

Do you recommend stocks with a lower Beta in general? I know the author of the blog suggested using a lower ATR for swing trading and a higher one for day trading.

For swing trading, I have found that low ATR and Higher beta (Over 1) have been working pretty well. Also higher volume stocks out pace the lower volume. The sweet spot for profits is 5-10 days out from your buy point.

Also stocks that have a high percentage move have done better than lower.

I updated the scan with the new beta info. It back tested much better that before. The newest filter is in the 1st post.

There were 17 total stocks entered. Of those, 15 or 88.24% were complete and 2 or 11.76% were open.
Of the 15 completed trades, 13 trades or 86.67%resulted in a net gain.
Your average net change for completed trades was: 3.08%.
The average draw down of your approach was: -1.59%.
The average max profit of your approach was: 4.85%
The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 7.63
Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 278.03%, the ROI of ^SPX was: 38.97%.

Is the filter supposed to be on the page where the link takes you? I didn't see it.
