That would be SHORT PROFIT!!

set{ ShortProfit, open - low}

I didn't want to confuse people. I have been accused of making complicated filters.

Once again Avery, your strategy of "its not what you trade - but how you trade them" really shines here! Believe it or not, for the folks with larger accounts, this could perhaps be one of the best filters ever! What terrific insights. Great job and thanks again for all your efforts here!

Rumpled , I tried playing around with the filter to insert some of my own ideas - but I failed miserably...

How would you modify the "profit checker long" to show me stocks that:

" went up (most times out of 100) 1% from the open WITHOUT dropping more than 1/or2/or 3% during the day"

would be great! thx

BIDU $6 + above buyzone

AAPL, WYNN and GOOG $3 + above buyzone

RIMM $2 + above buyzone

Seeing is believing. This is the way it is everyday.

add column TradeCnt

add column Lose
add column LongProfit
add column Long10
add column Long50

add column separator

add column Short1
add column LongTest
add column TradeTest

and add column cma(longprofit, 100)

volume above 1000000
TradeCnt above 50
Long10 above 50

sort column 5 descending

I think I coded what you wanted maxbasily.

For 2% use: set{ xdrop, .02 * close }

NOTE... the other columns are still the same. So the LOSE column is for all 100 days not just the tradecnt days.

Hi Avery, the way the original filter was written, it can really be used anytime during the day that price crosses the open by 10 cents. I am assuming the filter is written for 100 days but some hit 97-99 times. So this means that the price at least rose from the open or crossed over later in the day - nearly every day! Either way this can work but I was wondering how you trade it? Do you just trade at the open or watch during the day for a long or short entry that crosses the 10 cent threshold. Also, how do you handle the stop losses? It does not appear they are needed much but when would you exit the trade?

Regards,

Drew
