traderblues,

What are the criteria for your filter or are you keeping them to yourself?

I need to keep the filter to myself for now. But it's pretty simple:

1. RSI(2) is very low (oversold)
2. close is above open (set-up for a bounce)
3. The stocks daily volatility is very high (better chance of getting 15%+ profit)

Sell at 15% profit or better
No stop loss. I have had two stocks recently that were down 30%+ and came back for a good profit.
Sell after 20 trading days if you haven't sold for a profit.

Paper trade it for awhile, so you can get comfortable with it.

traderblues, you just confirm my words :) I'll show only few things and if you can reason then you'll see own error.

1. 1 day chg - Win 240, Los - 0. (strange results)
2. "The stocks daily volatility is very high (better chance of getting 15%+ profit"
3. "Sell at 15% profit or better"
4. SF has a small bug when it uses Stop Profit

Trade's table is a clue for your success:)

Woodstock,

Yeah, I've been doing some research the last couple of days on S1, and I think you're right. But what about the profit stop bug? I didn't realize that.

Anyway, I re-ran my backtest. I used 'open' for an entry price, and I took out the 15% profit stop. I'm now using RSI(2) as an exit filter. It does reduce things a bit. (In reality I will still use the 15% profit target, but will also use the RSI(2) exit filter.

I see more realistic results. SF executes Stop Profit on a day when the trade was opened. Despite the fact that SF does not know order of trading actions. What was
before - our trade or price touches "stop profit".

Woodstock,

Good point. So the temporary solution is to set your backtest so it holds for at least 2 days.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

OK, I worked on my filter some more,and made it more robust. I am still using 'open' as my entry, have an RSI exit filter, and a 15% profit stop. I hold for a minimum of 2 days, to eliminate the profit stop bug. No stop loss.
Back to a more 'reasonable' return. :~)
