I am trying to figure a way to rearrange TRO'S filter.
I have an idea, where you buy the close on Friday.
and sell the open on Monday,
I love all the bells and whistles of this statistical filter. absolutely awesome information.
I would like the new filter to show me statistically, the best candidates for buying at close on Friday and selling at open on Monday.
showing 1pct, 2pct, 5pct. returns just like the original filter.
also sort descending so the best is at the top.
Tro's filter is a work of art, only problem is getting filled at the open, hence the reason for buying at Fridays close.
Any help from the Gurus who peruse theses forums would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi kossvet! To make things easier, can you post the specific filter you're working off?

This is an excellent statistical filter. The thought content involved in creating this filter is remarkable.
If we can rearrange the filter to pursue my ideas, Ill owe you a case of beer, or your favorite adult beverage.
This filter is excellent

If a fllter can be created where:
Fridays close is the buy price.
Mondays open is the sell.
The filter should be able to tell us, which stocks have the greatest number of gap ups over the last year.
Also, as I stated before, can we have all the bells and whistles of TRO'S filter.
Those stocks that gap 1% the most.
Those stocks that gap 2%, 3% and 5% the most.
I have been researching the stocks at the top of TRO'S filter, based on a 2% return for the week.
Getting in at the open, has been a difficult process for me. It might skewer the weekly returns slightly.
If we could have the filter run on Fridays close instead, We have a definite price point to begin.
Maybe it's not possible to rearrange this filter, I don't know.
I have tried, an been unsuccessful.
My coding skills are vastly inferior to many of the Champs that write these awesome filters.
This is why I have reached out for help.

Okay I've started and scrapped this request several times before finally settling on this. It's a bit cumbersome, but I think it mostly gets what you need.

To start, you have to move the day back to a Friday for it to work right, From there you can jump back 1 week at a time.

The top line represents a 5% profit
The middle line is a 1% profit
The bottom line is a stop loss set 3% below your entry (the close price on Friday).

At a glance, hitting the 1% profit before a 3% loss during the week is highly probable and occurs often enough to offset the occasional 3% loser.

Trade idea: Set stop loss at 3%. At 1% profit, set a 1% trailing stop.

Notes:
  • I had to remove the weekly display.
  • I removed ETFs from the results as there were just too many that move really slow and never cleared 1% during the week.
  • I added the suggestion in the original TRO thread about only entering during an uptrend. My loose definition of an uptrend is low > wma(150).
  • I added "Gaps" which shows you how many times in the last 52 weeks the weekly open was higher than the prior week's close.

    Thank you for putting in the time, and creating this filter.
    I am just starting to plow through it. You have cut down my prep time enormously.
    There are many new ideas I can glean from this filter.
    Once again a big Thank You

    @kossvet With TDA doing commission-free trading I decided to jump in feet first on the strategy. I committed $1200 and took the top 4 results in the filter. I entered at the close on Friday and set a mental stop-loss at 3%. If a ticker hit 2% profit, I entered a trailing stop of 1%. Below are the results.



    Other than APPS, they all hit 2% on Monday and I enacted the trailing stop. They all stopped out the same day.

    Only APPS failed to reach 2% Monday and actually ended the day below the 3% mental stop loss. The technicals looked good though so I held. Tuesday it gained back a little but was still below my entry. Today it shot up and I entered the trailing stop.

    Week 1 worked as advertised. Let's see what Week 2 holds.

    Thank you @xarlor & Robert (kossvet) for starting this new thread…

    Actually, I have just completed reading TRO’s original complete thread.. and then luckily I found this thread.. just want to make sure, I am doing this right.. I have few questions..

    1) Do we need to RUN this modified filter on few mins (or half hour) before Friday market closing bell and then place the orders for first few stocks which are sorted in desc by ‘twopct’ column ? To get Friday close price
    2) On Friday before market close, after orders filled, do we need to place
    a. stop loss order @3% &
    b. take profit order @ 1%

    Robert, you are right, In original TRO’s thread.. lot of people mentioned same that they can’t get Monday open price.. your idea is superb..

    @manojb21 That's what I did. Ran it about 5 minutes before close Friday and entered an orders to my broker about 30 seconds before the bell. You won't always nail the close, but should be within a few cents. If you want to get in at the exact close, you can wait until after the bell then enter a limit order and enable after-market execution. You'll usually get filled, but it's not guaranteed.

    Don't place stop loss order before market close. Do it after and make sure it is not set for after-market hours. I didn't place any stop loss orders, only alerts at 3%. If it triggered I wanted to see the technicals and judge whether it may bounce back.

    When to take profit is up to you. I made the decision to let mine run to 2% and entered a trailing stop of 1% so i was guaranteed at least a 1% profit. Note: trailing stops can backfire if there is an event and the stock drops precipitously.
