Since people are posting filters I might as well keep the momentum going.
Even though I prefer shorting microcap stocks as my method of trading, here's a bullish recipe for a 5% pullback that works pretty well. -Had it sitting around so I might as well post it.
Now if only SF would add more functions to their syntax I would be able to publish some killer long strategies...

Thanks for sharing! I like the concept...looking to tweak it for ETFs.

You forgot to include this line:
Witness how the results dramatically improve.

1. I did not forget as I had included this alternate line for further testing in the hopes of reducing the number of Set statements.:
count(RSI(2) 2 days ago above 99,60) is above 0
2. That was one of the reasons I labeled this backtest as being "in progress"
3. Can you guess the other reasons?
Thanks,
Ed S.

Stratasearch code:
ENTRY STRING:
mov(volume,10,s)>50000
and
close>0.1
and
rsi(2)<5
and
proc(close,1)<-10
and
had*lert(ref(rsi(2),-1)>99,60)>1
and
had*lert(high/open>1.05,100)>5
EXIT STRING (take 5% or exit at close)
gtclimit(5)
or
$daysheld>0
Backtest from 1/1/2014 until 9/22/2019
Usually there are 1 or 2 stocks selected by the filter, so let's assume we trade a portfolio of 2.
Initial equity of $50.000, ending equity $421.53
1234 trades, 52.11 % profitable

You could use a stop, but working with daily candles that cannot be really backtested. Stratasearch will not be able to determine whether the stop or profit was hit first if both triggered.
I'd stick to shorting if I were you. Let me know if I missed anything.
EDIT: had to change ' a' to * in the had/__REMOVED__/ formula. Apparently some html function triggers when one posts alert.

nibor100 & mahkoh,
Thanks for the backtests, I suppose that long strategy isn't as feasible as I anticipated. But if I can ask a small favor by either of yall, could you run a test over the system below;
Rules: Short the close and cover the next day's close
I manually checked the results over the past year and I'd say they were rather superb. I may plan on adding this strategy as part of my main shorting system but I would like some verification on its performance before live trading it. Its been a while since I've conducted any proper backtests so I'm kinda rusty, but perhaps you guys can give this a swing.

Now that's more like the genuine KSK8 stuff.
Again usually 1 or 2 candidates, a portfolio of 2 returns 150% annually without compounding.
$50.000 becomes $462.000 from 1/1/2014 until 9/22/2019, when compounded $22.591.354.
Profitable 60% , biggest loss 100%. Only a few of the losses did not turn into profit if held for a few days/weeks.

Note that the strategy had difficult times from late 2014 till mid 2016 and the first half of 2018.
For fun the equity graph of a single portfolio compounded; don't put all eggs in one basket!

I took the liberty of adding that close must be above 0.1 and did not filter the fundamental part although I do think it can be done in Stratasearch.

Good work Mahkoh.
I suppose combining this system with proper due diligence/ filtering out the bullish catalysts would prevent any massive drawdowns + many losses. But I guess that's a part I'll have to do independently if I decide to play this filter. Too bad fundamental factors can't be included in backtests.
Excellent results for the most part.

I know Tradezero usually charges somewhere around 2 percent locate fee. However if you hold overnight you pay that rate 7 x for the first night and 1 x for every following overnight hold. I don't know the structure for centerpoint but I assume it to be something similar. The question is how much will be left if you have to deduce 15% from every trade? You may be better off shorting the open or hope for a little opening bounce to sell into.
