Filter Exchange · Find strong trend reversals

RumpledOne,

Two comments on your post.
1. Unlike you, most people are not daytraders. I'm sure people made money on BIDU. DAYTRADERS.
2. I don't think most traders are looking for magic. What they want is a fighting chance. A filter should have a MINIMUM 50/50 win/loss ratio, to be even considered for stock selection. I agree with using other criteria: waiting for green, good volume etc. This filter has a 18/82 win/loss ratio for seven trading days. I'd be interested in hearing what strategy/technique you would apply to make money with this filter. With so many other filters having much better w/l ratios, why would you bother trying. The whole point of filter research is using the good ones and getting of the bad ones.

I backtested your filter from July 28 to August 5 and of 33 stocks picked, 27 were losers. Is this a joke or are you serious?

I agree with some of the sentiments expressed here. RumpledOne, I think you do a GREAT job sharing your knowledge and expertise, but a filter like this probably goes over the heads of most members here including my own. Maybe, when posting an advanced filter like this, you could also post a basic version of the same one. It's a shame not to be able to use, change and generally 'play around' with it.

I would really, REALLY like to see detailed explainations of the headings with some practical examples.
What are Win/Loss Ratio, Risk/Reward, ROI etc. and how are they calculated?
Is drawdown the opposite to maximum profit?
I know many others have requested this also.

Thanks

Tomb,

I made the entry as you said and the results were different. I changed the entry price and got different results each time. So, it is working.
Thanks for looking in to this.

Thanks for posting this filter Rumpled One. I think it has good potential. Except I cannot backtest it. I've tried saving it to My Filters and also copying and pasteing it directly. It shows 0 stocks listed, even for previous years. Anyone have any ideas?

msg #36207 6/4/2005 7:59:13 PM

I've entered several different entry requirements, none of them work. Examples: .1, open + .1, open + 1%. In each case, it enters the stock at the open price and returns the same number of trades and statistics. Can someone give me the proper syntax.

Backtesting Support · Request: Add Exchange to Trades List

glider
msg #36066 5/21/2005 1:59:23 PM

Is it possible to add Exchange as a column in the trades list so that it would be included in a csv download. This would be very useful for research and analysis purposes.

Thanks
