  Hi All,
 I'd like to build a bearish filter based on MACD, RSI and SlowStoch.
 
 As I'm an option trader I came up with the following: 
 Show stocks where MACD fast line crossed below the MACD slow line within last 3 days 
 and Slow Stochastic(14,3) Fast %K crossed below Slow Stochastic(14,3) Slow %D  within the last 3 days
 and RSI(2) is above 70
 and Not OTCBB 
 and stocks are optionable
 
 The trouble is: it doesn't look bearish. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

  Hi Grass ,
 
 The problem seems to be the relative timing of the events for MACD crossover, the Stochastics and the RSI(2) - They are not necssarily coincident.
 As a matter of fact , I am an option trader too and looking for the same bear filter selection screen.
 
 You might want to try and see if this filter will help, or combine the filter.
 Sometime I see it better to not put to many conditions into the filter - KISS and let the visual inspection make the final call.
 
 Fetcher [Set {MACDdelta, MACD fast line(12,26)-MACD slow line(12,26)} 
 Show stocks where MACD fast line(12,26) crossed below MACD slow line(12,26) within the last 3 day 
 and Average Volume(90) is above 50000 
 and close is between 5 and 250 
 and MACDdelta is greater than -0.15 
 and stock is optionable
 and date offset is 0 
 ]
 
 the MACDdelta is a measure of the separation of the Fast and Slow lines after crossing and the 'force' of the down swing.

  james549,
 
 Your filter didn't result in a hot link because you didn't get the syntax quite right.  The filter needs to be enclosed in square brackets ("[" and "]"), and no space between "Fetcher" and the first "[".
 
 Also, if you preview your message, SF will show the filter as a link if it will end up as one once it's posted.
 
 HTH,
 
 C
