well after using this service for 3 months I think I have found my holygrail

www.2dayhold.com

I have got over 150% compounding my returns on these stock picks during my 3 months as a member and it only takes me 10 mins per day

forget about trading filter results,lol takes too much time for similar results

anyway.... whats your current trading method?

Should be simple to reverse engineer the picks.

We know the stocks and the entry dates.

Time to put on your DETECTIVE CAPS.

Remember, SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!

"Should be simple to reverse engineer the picks."

YOU AREN'T KIDDING!
I figured out that pattern over a year ago.
Someone(?)even has posted the filter here in the Public Filter Forum.
Very few responses to it however.
Guess its too SIMPLE,not any sets{BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,YADA YADA YADA}in it.

Yes, TRO you are correct ... reverse engineer the picks ... so here is the scan to see the picks that were successful (using your OR logic ... thanks TRO !).

Fetcher[
set{buyprice,open 2 days ago *1}
set{high2,high 2 days ago *1}
set{high1,high 1 days ago *1}
set{target,buyprice * 1.0499}

/* To find out if the target was hit anytime */
/* after the purchase � 3 day window */

/* OR logic � thanks The RumpledOne */

set{Sold2, count(high2 above target, 1)}
set{Sold1, count(high1 above target, 1)}
set{Sold0, count(high above target, 1)}
set{OR1, Sold2 + Sold1}
set{OR2, OR1 + Sold0}
OR2 above 0

/* Now to weed out the scruff */

and buyprice is greater then .90
and volume is greater then 75000

add column buyprice
add column high2
add column high1
add column high
add column target
and sort column 9 ascending

/* change the offset to see other "windows of opportunity" */
and offset 0 days

]

(returns 597 stocks) on 12/27/06

out of the 4210 available by using same criteria embedded above:

That's 1 out of 7 stocks that were successful (a blind selection).
...time to analyze.....

Ahh.... the power of compounding.

Your "2 day hold" plan has merit.

Bring the expected return down to a mere 5%.

Sell using a limit order to insure your return (and greed doesn't sway you).

Third day re-invest.

In a 27 trading days (9 trades) you secured a whopping 50% return.
(commissions were not included in these calulations)

A consistant 50% return ! ... and you can take that to the bank !

... but can you select 9 consecutive picks that produce 5%?
So what if you can't ... so you will need 50 trading days to achieve this...
... I would settle for a 50% return if it took me the entire year !
Would you ?

If you think you can ... you will have the bull by the balls.

Trade on !

Wallman ... I'm not looking at that site as a base (though I like the idea)... rather I'm using SF to find the field of stocks that actually would have been "complete". (by complete I mean, bought and sold at the 5% profit (limit order) within the 2 day window). From THIS field of stocks is where the task begins.... time to reverse engineer and find that attribute that is shared by the majority of stocks in this field. Sorry I deviated from the original post ... I probably should of started a new "discussion".

You mentioned a previous post that had related screen ... any luck ?

Thanks for your feedback !
