  I've been playing with the filters and backtests here and doing a lot of forum searching.  I've run into a few problems and wonder if perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?  Here's what I'm looking for:
 
 - Reward/Risk of at least 4.0
 - Win % of at least 40%
 - Position Size of 10-20 equal holdings
 - both long and short plays (probably two separate filters for this, right?)
 - preferably stocks above $20/share
 
 In addition, is there any way to filter and backtest for options?  
 
 P.S.  you may notice I did not specify a selection/entry strategy - that was on purpose.

  I'm not sure what you're wanting us to do exactly.
 
 Why don't you give it a try and post your filter and we can see if we can make it better.

  Unfortuantly the only options related thing in SF is optionable witch says that a stock has options.. no search for ivol open interest or anything SF would have been compleate if they choose too implement that. I realize that options data calculation in realtime require a LOT of prosessor power.. but they could choose to provide eod data.
 
 Anyway would love to see you filter :)
