Im working on a filter that has a Stop Loss of 9.49% and a Profit Stop of 14%. I havent gotten around to a trailing stop yet. Maximum Trades Per Day is 5
and Maximum Open Positions is 5. the filter trades stocks with a close between
$5.50 and $24.00 with Average Volume(30) above 1000000. Looking at the the results displayed to go, does it appear i have developed a worthy filter? Im a bit worried about the high stop loss of 9.49%. And average net change is only 1.54%. Any and all comments would be appreciated.

1. Your stop loss and profit stop are really a non-factor. Between the two, they only accounted for less than 5% of total trades. Maybe try lowering your profit stop a little bit.
2. You only have 223 trades in two years, that averaged 1.54% per trade. That is about 2 trades per week. If you are trading 200k, and splitting your money into 5 parts, each trade would make you $616, so you'd make about $1,232 per week. If you look at the first graph, you rarely get up to 5 positions. Most of the time you have 2 or less positions at any one time. Try making your filter a little less restrictive to let in a few more stocks.
