Hi Four:
I just wanted to thank you for this filter. You must be incredibly wealthy.
I had a programming professor who's favorite quote was "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
He could use this slick little script as a prime example. This must be the simplest and most powerful filter on SF.
Question: Do you have any tips on determining which stocks will continue the bounce and which are failures.
It looks like there is about a 75% vs 25% winners vs losers. That's amazing although the markets over the last few days have probable skewed these results.
Still trying to completely understand the filter. When you Add column z1, all of the numbers are considerably larger that your cutoff of 3? Can you fill me in on this criteria?
Grateful, Thanks again, Michael

Question: Do you have any tips on determining which stocks will continue the bounce and which are failures. perhaps someone has a thought on this

Still trying to completely understand the filter. When you Add column z1, all of the numbers are considerably larger that your cutoff of 3? Can you fill me in on this criteria? add column for "z1 1 day ago" and you will see the value is well below 3, too
Grateful, Thanks again, Michael

...to try to catch the bounce

"Strenth Filters" define when a stock is overbought or oversold. Macd(12,26,9) is a strenth filter. Above 0, and the stock
is STRONG. Below 0, and the stock is WEAK. If you add Correction and Direction filters, then you have a complete
trading formula for success. I am posting a Strenth Filter here!

Hi Four:
In response to how I enter and exit stocks based upon your filter.
There is a very good article from Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities V. 22:5 (68-71) by Tim Ord "Price + Volume = Price Movement" on changes in volume at support and resistance as indicators of continuation or failure.
Glad to send you the article. I have it set up as an excel file. I believe it would help us both if the formula could be converted into a SF filter. mslatter2dc.rr.com
My Preference would be the following in the order that I rank their strength.
Filter: SET{Z1, RSI(2) / ATR(5)}
1. Google / Bloomberg / FlyonWall / MotleyFool search for News
2. The filter below determines if the close is higher than the counterpoint of the real body and if the counterpoint of the real body is above the true range. So it's a simple candlestick strength indicator.
set {_range, High + Low}
set {true_range, _range/2}
set {_body, Open + Close}
set {real_body, _body /2}
Show stocks where close > real_body and real_body > true_range
3. Vol conformation based upon the article cited above.
4. John Ehlers CENTER of GRAVITY: I also have this article.
COG(10) had been decreasing for 5 days lag 5 days and COG(10) has been increasing for 2 days
5. Exp Mov Avg(5) of MACD(4,6),(6,10),(10,16),(16,26),(26,42)
6. DI+/DI- Except I prefer Vortex or VI+/VI-
7. ADX for trending indicator
8. Williams %R
9. Stochastic
EXITS:
1. StopLoss based upon ATR(3) x 2 (If I am in a stock there is nothing that has made me more money than stop losses - get bounced from the bears and ride the bulls) You can literally make money with darts to pick stocks if you religiously stick to the rule above.
2. Price target
3. loss of momentum MA(5) crosses below MA(10)
4. Bad News ~ Exit in Pre or After Market depending on when the news breaks.
My biggest problem in trading is I always want to learn something new and hopefully better. So i experiment too much.
Open to any ideas or suggestions. Thanks Michael
