I have been through many of my filters and none backtest as well as the one from Kevin for the dates
4/29/2011 to present, some backtest better for other periods but not these dates. This one squeeked
out a small gain on backtest ($557 after commissions ). Anyone doing better with longs?

Here I will give you a hint and not the filter...... I have worked very hard at this and have posted lots of filters.
The hint is to narrow your list.. so I built a sym list with long and short pairs of ETFs only... just use your favorite oversold and overbought indicators and tweak it.... you could find something better.
The indicator is just an alert that a condition exists not to take a trade.. then look for obvious price points to trade around. you need to find the support and resistance areas also.
The real trick is find confidence in yourself and how you trade.. it is not easy at least not for me...
seek out information i like chartpatterntrader and stocktiger. both very good.

No that just gives you an interday fib zone pivot points.
Use a momentum indicator and set for oversold conditions.....
