10/28/2003 5:58:43 PM Been noticing this phenomenon for a while.. Donno 'bout "MM manipulation".. Seems like sellers are just not selling anymore.. and then buyers realizing this begin to come in and eventually drive the price up.. The trick is to know when the selling has REALLY subsided, and here volume is again the key. Only this time it's greater volume on green. The problem, is catching these using a filter algorithem. I like the Dragon-Tail filter because it condencess this process to 1 day as the price gets "hammered" in and volume accelerates. But really the best way to catch these is to eye the stocks of interest on a chart.. |

10/28/2003 10:15:53 PM ?!? If you chart the (back dated) results you'll find that most often than not, they are on the cusp of going up. But waiting for green "confirmation" is always the prudent thing to do, regardless. |

10/29/2003 10:49:31 AM Mika, my point is that I don't think one should trust any filter that is mostly red on a 5 day offset, nor is it sound trading strategy to hop on a stock that is going down. I don't trust any filter past 5 days because it is after all, only a scanning device with no brains and should in my view only be used for the very short term. I realize results will change day by day, and that a filter that is all red today may be all green tomorrow. I just question the need to post a filter that back tests mostly red at the time of posting. I mean, right there you know you have a questionable product and in all likelyhood also have a questionable trading strategy. Not to pick on you because I have posted some really pretty 90% green 5 day back tests only to have them turn mostly red later on. Still, I think a filter ought to backtest 5 days with 90% green at the time of posting. All of which leads me to believe the simple filters do best. Those filters that scan for: Oversold situations Overbought situations if you like to short New high situations since they tend to keep on running I keep toying with MACD crossovers and BB breakouts but they have always shown themselves to be totally unreliable over time. Yes, most stocks that go up show either a BB breakout or a MACD crossover or both, but what you don't see (until you run the filters for a while) are all the false signals that are generated. What is extremely useful and hard to find are filters that are mostly or all green on a 3 day offset and do that on a consistent basis. That is what I am concentrating on now. Lots of green on 3. Momentum trading is great but it also means that you have to physically look at hundreds of charts a day in order to catch a stock at the bottom or top of the current wave. I don't think filters can actually catch that. |

10/29/2003 12:09:24 PM Joe, I think it was just bad timing, that's all. It so happened that when you did your 5 day back test the market was really crummy. No filter is going to help here if the whole market is down. If you would have done a little more investigation like I suggested you would have noticed the merits of the filter. Really, this filter is an amalgamation of several ideas/observations expressed by me and others, so it's not like it came out of thin air. Look at the *charts* for at least 20~30 different date offsets and then decide if the pattern is there. Also, if you have such a negative opinion of filters and such, and find them unreliable, then is SF really the place for you? |
