7/17/2016 8:38:00 PM Four, no kidding, I think you make the best simple filters that anyone can use in this forum, better than Kevin and Rumple... It seems you are a type of person who is not afraid of sharing your valuable filters obviously you put in great amount of time and efforts. Now with that said, I don't blame you if you don't want share your best of the bests, but can you tell us which are your tested 2nd best filters for long and shorts are? Thanks for all your great filters even if you decides not to tell us... :) |

7/17/2016 10:43:54 PM 72, First--thank you for the compliment. I backtest visually on StockFetcher. I have no favorite filter(s). But you will notice a favorite theme or two: +You already noticed usually 2 or 3 indicators +Usually standard indicators -- only a few are calculated/created +Usually buy the dip after a high +Try to go with the longer trend +Rarely day trade +Shared in the past that I usually do stop-limit entries +Shared that I usually go long +Long stock with a dividend -- usually better than 2% and less than 7%, If the stock drops let the dividends reduce the loss. +Trade small +Always be aware of risk of ruin: The loss of all +Always be aware of money management http://www.futuresmag.com/2011/12/31/simple-money-management-wins-over-time +Still have trouble with exits -- loss or profit (see partial solution above about long dividend stocks) +Short positions without dividend +"The chart below shows the amount a portfolio or security must rise after a drop just to get back to even" http://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/022002.asp 50% drop needs a 100% return of the remaining balance to get back to even +I try not to confuse a bull market with being too smart (try to stay humble). Overall a nice move up during my lifetime, http://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historical-chart. Watch out for another 1965 - 1982 bear market! +Keep an open mid, keep learning, keep investing/trading with my personality +Keep trading costs down--commissions low or none Hope this helps |

7/18/2016 12:26:36 AM Honestly, no. I diversify my trades by using new filters and old filters. I post my filters so I can run through them easily. --------------------------- I can share some recent trades/attempts with multiple filters: About a dollar profit  I can share this: About a dollar profit (filter posted: 4/26/2014 9:16:16 PM)  Recently: Holding for small loss (filter posted: 6/4/2014 4:14:22 PM)  Recently: (filter posted: 7/2/2016 2:19:02 PM)  Recently:  |
