  The filter is a start... the above you posted has no volume and no price requirements (min/max).
 Other things to know:
 1. per trade dollar amount as percentage of portfolio
 2. max # of trades at a time
 3. profit point
 4. loss point
 5. pyramid up / pyramid down
 6. entry [market order, limit order, stop-limit order...?]
 7. etc...
 8. dividend / no dividend
 9. blue chip / penny stock
 10.etc...
 11. diversification by industry
 12. what if the filter only returns 4 trades every 3 months on average
 
 These above help make a system. You and I have only been dealing with entry!

  yes, that is a fair point. eventually I am trying to get to value investing. at this point, I just want to identify the huge spikes before they hit.

  four, you are great at idea generation.  always great filters to consider.  when I looked at the one you posted, if I used "price crossed above 0" it seemed to pull stocks up that had already escalated. what do you think about this one in terms of catching stocks before they escalate?

  it seems like from the chart you posted that if (5) crosses above -1, you can go long on it

  Four, interesting stuff. can I get your opinion on something?  I use the filter below sometimes, but the only drawback is that it triggers after the bump.  I miss the lions share of the escalation sometimes.  I have used 'waiting for green" and others.  just curious on your opinion as to how to catch this filter before the bump.
