Sorry, still learning here. How do I create this filter to backtest the following strategy?

1. Stock (or ETF) is above it's 200 days moving average.
2. If the stock closes at a 7-day low, buy.
3. If the stock closes at a 7-day high, sell the long position.

Thanks for your help.

Anyone have any idea how to create an opposite filter to do short trades?

1. Stock (or ETF) is below it's 200 days moving average.
2. If the stock closes at a 7-day high, sell short.
3. If the stock closes at a 7-day low, cover the short position.

Thanks for your help.

I think there are posts and possibly a thread devoted to this strategy. Try searching the Forum.

I tried searching for Double 7's on the forums and this is the only post on it. Lot's of other posts about Larry Connors and RSI, but nothing else about Double 7.

OK, I am new at writing filter but here's my first contribution. Credit to chetron who showed me how to write the buyme, sellme counter few months ago. This one is not from Connor's ETF book, but the "Double 7" strategy he had. I am using it to trade 2xETFs:

SET{VAR1,LOW 7 DAY LOW 1 DAY AGO}
SET{VAR2,HIGH 7 DAY HIGH 1 DAY AGO}

SET{BUYME,COUNT(PRICE BELOW 6DAYSLOW,1)}
SET{SELLME,COUNT(PRICE ABOVE 6DAYSHIGH,1)}

ADD COLUMN 6DAYSLOW

ADD COLUMN SELLME

tradertedd,

Connors intentionally avoided short trades for this system. Instead he suggests including inverse ETF's in your watchlist.

You can find a discussion of the system and where to find the original article here http://www.stratasearch.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=664
