4/4/2015 10:36:23 AM Came across this user-contributed scan at StockCharts.com and wonder how to code it in SF: This scan implements Bollinger's Method IV (Confirmed Breakout), but adds additional checks for trend and volume. In short, Method IV requires: Day 1: Close inside the band and bandwidth within 25% of lowest bandwidth in 6 months Day 2: Close outside the band Day 3: Signal if close is higher than Day 2 [type = stock] and [SMA(20,volume) > 100000] and [close > yesterday's close] and [SMA(200,close) > 20 days ago SMA(200,close)] and [SMA(200,close) > 60 days ago SMA(200,close)] and [min(10,SMA(50,close)) > max(10,SMA(200,close))] and [MACD Hist(12,26,9) >= yesterday's MACD Hist(12,26,9)] and [2 days ago %B(20,2) < 1] and [2 days ago %B(20,2) > -1] and [yesterday's %B(20,2) > 1] and [min(3,BB Width(20,2)) < 1.25 * min(120,BB Width(20,2))] and [PVO Line(12,26,9) > yesterday's PVO Line(12,26,9)] and [SMA(3,volume) > 1.5 * SMA(120,volume)] and [Slow Stoch %K(70,3) > 50] and [Weekly MACD Hist(12,26,9) >= 2 weeks ago MACD Hist(12,26,9)] |

11/25/2015 11:55:35 PM Karennma: Buy one cheap stock, or a basket of cheap stocks and hold for a year or a few years. Here are some cheapies with good earnings that have gone up in the last year. TNK ZAGG GTN BLDR EFOI - was $4.oo in February; went up to $28 by September. Now $14 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Interesting: TNK is tanking and ZAGG is zagging…what I’ve learned after a setback is to trade small, and less frequently- after a while you will be an expert, i.e., a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in the trade |

11/7/2017 10:05:58 PM OK it's 2 years now... TNK (down) ($8.11 - $1.45) ZAGG (up) + $8.32 - $19.1 GTN (up) + $14.55 - $15.1 BLDR (up) + 12.51 - $17.44 EFOI (down) ($14.24 - $2.78) If you invested $50000 and put $10000 in each you now have $51015 or about 2% gain. If you invested in SPY your gain would have been roughly 25% ******************************** Quote: "Buy one cheap stock, or a basket of cheap stocks and hold for a year or a few years. Here are some cheapies with good earnings that have gone up in the last year." Today is Nov. 27, 2015. My original post was made on October 20, 2015. -- . Uh, hello? that was 30 trading days ago. 30 trading days is not a YEAR. As of today's current prices, in 30 trading days, TNK is down $1 ($8.11 - $7.21) ZAGG (up) + $8.32 - $9.90 GTN (up) + $14.55 - $17.19 BLDR (up) + 12.51 - $13.89 EFOI (up) + $14.24 - $15.43 |

4/24/2016 12:33:46 AM v impressived buy and hold seems to work market at peak now, so, to be fair, comparisons should be made with mid-July, early Nov and early Dec SPY when market had also peaked- looks good... |

4/24/2016 1:34:33 PM Analysis based on SD 200 day filter performance Hold for 1 day: ave 1% gain Hold for 2 day: ave 2% gain Hold for 3 day: ave 3% gain Hold for 4 day: ave 15% gain (ok this is weird) Hold for 23 day: ave 55% gain Hold for 48 day: ave 151% gain (this is nuts) Hold to Current Day isn’t included here since the hold time is changing… What this means is the average stock you buy for 50 cents trades about $1.51 48 days later there are nearly 200 stocks (including ones appearing multiple times) that pop up in the course of 200 days On day 1 of the hold 52% of stocks advance By day 48 75% of the stocks advance assuming you purchase $1000 worth of garbage every day the filter signals you average $2521 when you sell 48 days later (you more than double your money) - trading fees all in? would you buy a stock like DELT (4/15)?? |

4/24/2016 6:51:17 PM SCSS fit the filter in 2009 and went up to mid 30s 3 years later. The filter caught DELT at 80 cents after it had fallen from 28 in LESS than a year!! I’d be wary of recent IPOs. The soul of the filter is the volatility at sub $1 levels. And one is a magic trading number. I’d say stocks below 1 are at least 10 times more volatile (weekly or monthly) as stocks trading above $1 (FINVIZ) , so if price becomes apocalyptic at these low levels (example ORIG an oil), there’s often a violent upward whip on any good news. ORIG and GALE are recent classic examples. I like these because they had volume and support. Brilliant filter, wouldn’t change it. |
