7/11/2011 5:22:06 PM Kevin, I draw weekly and monthly pivot lines on the charts and check visually. Wouldn't really know how to backtest that. |

7/8/2011 5:53:29 PM Kevin, you did indeed make it clear in your opening post that adding the 200 MA improved results. I do however believe that there may be possibilities for further enhancement at this point. Using a syntax like "x day slope of the close is above 0" may produce results that address the requirement of being in an uptrend while being below the 200 MA. I use your filter together with weekly and monthly pivot point analysis and have found that a reversal appears both more likely and more powerful when the filter's results are close to these support levels. |

7/8/2011 2:48:42 PM Kevin_in_GA 1,926 posts msg #101462 - Ignore Kevin_in_GA 7/6/2011 6:00:28 PM Why would you mess with a well-tested system just because it is telling you to stay in cash? Maybe it's right??? Quote from your opening post: "This still returned too many stocks, and during market corrections the system took some big hits. So I simply added a criteria that included “close above MA(XX)” for each stock, where XX was 50, 100, 150 or 200 days. This hopefully keeps you out of taking long positions on stocks that are tanking (keeps you “buying the dips”). This definitely helped, and the system dramatically beat out the ^SPX, but the equity curves were still choppy and the system called for a lot of trades. " Apparently your choice for a close above the MA syntax was not the part of the filter that you used the best of your skills and talents on and I think it would be interesting to see what improvements can be made here. After all you were basically looking to weed out stocks that are in a downtrend. |

7/6/2011 5:36:12 PM Due to the last correction many stocks trade near their 200 MA. Requiring that they also are near the lower BB weeds out a lot of candidates. If you remove the "close is above 200 MA" syntax there are stocks returned. The question is how the backtest holds up without the above 200 MA requirement. |

5/22/2011 3:20:41 PM Bill, The work is Kevin's. All I did was combine two of his threads. My reasoning was that if you buy the top pick from the list on Monday the market could crash that same day and sell off all week. Rather than sitting it out until Friday I would look for other opportunities. To avoid getting whipsawed too much I would not use the ROC cross above 0 in the stockcharts link as a hard stop. The crosses above 0 in early Oct 2010 and January 2011 were merely tests of this line, also the MA was still in a downtrend at that point. The MA starting to move up and ROC retests 0 from above like in August 2010 and this May are more solid indications to leave the market. By the way notice the divergence between the correlation line and the ROC from early April until May. |

5/21/2011 2:48:04 PM I like simple, Four. Trying to make it so that I get a column that I can sort. Not working. I know that I can get this to work by adding one day ago and two days ago etc and then adding those results. But as I said, I like simple. Does anyone know a simple solution to this? Appreciate it. |

5/20/2011 7:00:15 PM I would like to add something from one of Kevin's other posts: Check this link daily: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$VIX:$SPX&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p72249291784 When ROC (15) is above 0 and VIX-SPX correlation is above SMA close your position (and/or go long volatility) |
