Thanks RumpledOne for the visual indicators of Muddy's lower bb method. I included "closes below lower bb" and summed the three of them. "sum" behaves like rsi(2) < 1 when its value is set high. "but of course it does" , you might say. Redundant indicator? Maybe. Anyway, thanks for the entry suggestion. It may indeed suit me better. The entry below only waits for one day where close > open.
ps. If I could learn 1 thing tonight it would be "clickable" filters.
set{chbd3,count(CLOSE HAS BEEN DECREASING OVER THE LAST 3 DAYS , 5)}
set{cblbb,count(PRICE < LOWER BOLLINGER BAND(20), 5)}
set{ptlbb,count(PRICE TOUCHED LOWER BOLLINGER BAND(20), 5)}
set{psum,ptlbb + chbd3}
set{sum, psum + cblbb}
add column chbd3
add column ptlbb
add column cblbb
add column sum
AVERAGE VOLUME(90)IS ABOVE 300,000
AND CLOSE PRICE IS BETWEEN 1 AND 10
draw rsi(2)
sum > 5 and close > open and offset is 10

I don't know if I understand you right, but to make a filter clickable, all you have to do is type: Fetcher, followed by the filter enclosed in brackets.

I did not realize that the filter I previously posted takes away the essence of the original MUDDY method. It does not show 1st touches of lower bb, only extreme penetration of lower bb. Not my intent to mess with a filter used by maybe thousands, though, I would like to have a filter that captures first touches and failures rather than use days offset or watchlist.

I have to say that this thread is the most informative thread I have yet to uncover as I read through the archives. I would go so far as to say it is required reading for all of us SF newbs...
How many of you still trade using this method today and does it work as well as it ever did?

Yes, it still works.
It has worked for years.
But what's funny is, Muddy became an RSI(2) convert. He loved RSI(2) < 1 on his Muddy Stocks.
Last time I heard from Muddy, he was trading stocks where RSI(2) > 99 on breakouts.

So Muddy went from Longing to Shorting!
I must say I have been duly impressed by the RSI2<1 too. Its amazing how accurate it signals imminent reversal. I add the RSI2<1 to every chart I look at these days.
Glad to hear the swing trading method is still viable though. It gives hope to those of us new to trading that need to build our trading accounts over the $25K mark so we can scalp and get out of losing positions fast.

I use the bbands as a setup for my option trades, a couple of guys helped me out with setting up a screen thats doing pretty much the same thing you are looking for take a look at the (help/sos/help) post. I still need to figure out how to re-word whats in that bullish screen for a bearish one also. do me a favor and post the screen (if you havent already done so) so I can try and fine tune my stuff a bit more... I think for me its been working out great but trying to key in on those types of price patterns has been difficult(until stockfetcher that is) my screenbuilding skills are in their infancy. Anyway thanks for sharing.

NO, Muddy didn't short... I said he bought the breakouts.
Somewhere I think I posted an UPPER BOLLINGER PIERCED BY WHITE CANDLE filter.
