 This very simple filter has been profitable on backtest  for most 4 mo periods since Jan 1 2010.  Using one 5K trade/day max 20 trades, 3%profit stop and RSI(2) cross above 80 exit trigger.  Any Ideas how to squeeze better performance out of it especially May-Aug 2010 and 2011?

 Duke, just to make sure I understand this correctly:
 
 If a stock's RSI(15) is 60 than you buy if the PRICE of that stock was above 60 yesterday and moved below 60 today?
 
 Of course; if it is profitable it is profitable, but where the heck did you get that idea?

 Serendipity..by the time realized I was asking the wrong question with the filter I had backtested it positively, doesn't really make sense, but then Kevin's divergence filter doesn't make sense to me either but it works.
