I do not know why the Fetcher[ is not working for my posting.

Also, some possible selection criteria to go with the filter.

I have 3 questions:

1. Is it fair to say that it is best to milk stocks between the open and high only when they are uptrending?

2. Do you believe that stocks can be shorted for milking between the open and low (obviously using a modified filter) for stocks that are downtrending?

3. Where can I find your "MTC Checker"? (I am not a member of TS).
====================

I don't know why the filter is not clickable.


1. You milk the stocks at the open. The trend has nothing to do with it. The BuyZone tells you which way to trade.

2. The BuyZone tells you which way to trade.

3. MTC Checker was written for TradeStation. I'll work on a SF version.

Fetcher[
/* MTC CHECKER */

apply to symlist(aapl, rimm)

set{HiOp, high - open}
set{HiOpCnt, count( HiOp above .10, 100) }
set{HiOp50, count( HiOp above .50, 100) }

set{OpLo, open - low}
set{OpLoCnt, count( OpLo above .10, 100) }
set{OpLo50, count( OpLo above .50, 100) }

add column HiOpCnt
add column HiOp50
add column OpLoCnt
add column OpLo50

HiOpCnt above 50
volume above 1000000

sort column 5 descending

]




This will check to see if RIMM and AAPL are "cows". Change the symlist to whatever stocks you want to check.

But it's simpler to use this filter:


Fetcher[
/* MTC SELECTOR */

set{HiOp, high - open}
set{HiOpCnt, count( HiOp above .10, 100) }
set{HiOp50, count( HiOp above .50, 100) }

set{OpLo, open - low}
set{OpLoCnt, count( OpLo above .10, 100) }
set{OpLo50, count( OpLo above .50, 100) }

add column HiOpCnt
add column HiOp50
add column OpLoCnt
add column OpLo50

HiOpCnt above 50
volume above 1000000

sort column 6 descending

]



Notice in the MTC Selector, it sorts column HiOp50 descending.

Look at the number of times it moves $.50 or more vs the number of times it moves $.10 or more. You want to "milk" stocks that if they move a dime, they'll more often than not, move $.50 or more.

This is the power of "backtesting" with statistics vs. traditional backtesting.

You want the opportunity to make money every time you enter the trade. That's why I consider the entry more important than the exit.

Thanks. I will need to study your information for a while. What is "BuyZone" (I have googled it, but too many different responses)?

One more attempt at making it clickable...

I figured out why your filter was not clickable!

These lines are "duplicates" of the first 2 lines:

set{wick, high – open}
set{wickp, count(wick > 0, 1)}

They must mess up the SF machine somehow. I removed them, since they were not being used, and it's clickable.

Also, your filter had no selection criteria.

Thanks TRO, especially for figuring out the duplicate code. I am going to start "milking the cows" on Wednesday morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello TRO,

What is the formula you use for the BuyZone ?

Thanks
