Karen, I haven't tested Mary's filter so I can't speak for it's accuracy. Keep in mind the 20d indicator is simply Mary's definition of an oversold stock. As you probably know it may very well work when the broad market is in an uptrend but you'll get killed if you try to find bottoms when the market is in a free fall. In answer to your question about stocks that have topped you could simply flip around Mary's filter:
This filter finds stocks whose close is at least 10% above the 20 day moving average. Note that I also added in "price below ma(200)". I'm a big believer in only shorting stocks that are trading below it's ma(200) and ideally the ma(200) is also downsloping. Opposite is true for buys.
Good luck
Max

Not only will 20d kill you in a downtrend, one of SF favorites for all seasons (that's right, "RSI(2) below 1") will kill you just as fast, if not faster.
