 Here. I've given it out 20 times. Everything i use here is someone's attempt that flopped.
 I just adjust them. Looks like bios are the best and i like to play for 20% using a basket of them.
 
 I would like to know how someone else would play this.

 shillllihs.....interesting outcome, a little scary without any stop loss on any short wager.   How do you deal with that?

 I hold my breath and if starts going against me too much, i bail.
 
 What would you do? How would you play them. How much margin would you hold/?
 
 Maybe a basket would be the safest way.

 backtest not too bad with 50% stoploss 20% profit stop.  Not quite as well with 50% stoploss and 50% trailing stop and 20% profit stop.  As far back as I went there was one losing 4 month period 8/30/2010 to12/30/2010.  The 50% stoploss doesn't work for the 4/30/2011 to 8/30/2011 because of 1 stock ERFB which dropped on 5/24/2011, dropped from $6 trigger date to $0.01 at the open next day which no one in the real world would have bought.

 shillllihs can you or anyone explain the logic behind why this should be a good SHORT filter?  It works, I just don't get it.

 IDK but if you reach in and pick the wrong ball, it can hurt you.
 
 It's pretty amazing though.

 Here is the one that I think is probably profitable in any period.
 
 
 
 enter on day it goes below 5
 and set an exit at 5% or whatever you want too.
 think it work with options too.
 it only hit twice in that period both would have made 5%
 or if you held for 252 days they both been over 60%

 The real trick here is being able to pick the right stock for the symlist (aapl)

 Yes you are right about that. But kind of like TRO said a long time back, you just find the cow and milk it. I am sure you can take that screen and back test it as far back as you can and you find it very solid.
