Anyone care to try their hand coding this? I think it's beyond my expertise http://etfhq.com/blog/2011/02/07/kaufmans-efficiency-ratio/

"...take the absolute CMO and divide by 100 you you get the Efficiency Ratio."

I would not use the absolute value here - you want to know which are highly negative (go long) versus those that are highly positive (go short).

@four: Interesting read, but it seems that the author is advocating using the efficiency ratio for exits rather than entries. This basic idea is also part of most of Larry Connors filters using a different metric (number of consecutive down days). I played with this a while back looking on Stratasearch and you can make a reasonably decent system with it. Not crushing the market, but OK.
