I'm sorry but "RSI(2) above 99" is the worst short filter one can possibly use. Here's why. In a bull market, it ain't unusual to find certain stocks being dragged down only to see them make another leap into the stratosphere. Hence, "RSI(2) below 1" is a viable long filter in a bull market (but try using it in a bear market will ultimately shorten ure life). But how frequent will you find stocks that will buck the trend and rise in a bear market, only to get pummeled again? Hardly ever IMHO. To think that just because "RSI(2) below 1" works in a bull market, it's inverse form must work in a bear market is a Reductio ad absurdum.

niko...thanks for your feedback....
I am not a big fan of RSI(2), but when searching the forums for a decent SHORT filter, this little gem gave some promising results...better then the others I have seen. Here is one of the stocks from running this,...GENT is coming down, but in a convoluted way, and seemingly a contradiction, this will be a great example of the short squeeze in action:
as this comes down, as it will, the short covering is going to begin....then the SHORT SQUEEZE begin (too much covering), is going to have this
bounce right back up... the frantic "cover my ass" is going to make this an insane reversal... not for the faint hearted.
