a. If you want to keep your running post accurate I suggest you modify your prior post that has Apple announcing a 1-4 split to a 4-1 split as there is a big difference in outcomes.

b. Darvas was very selective once he had his system refined; choosing only those Momo plays of the highest order.

c. You probably want to add some kind of history aspect to your filter regarding recent highs as several of the stocks returned seem to be in declines which Darvas would not have bought once his system was defined.

d. Weinstein also preferred stocks reaching all time highs.

@Ed S. Thank you for dropping by and the feedback!
a. Yes, my error - AAPL splits 4:1 (get 3 shares for the 1 you have) and not 1:4 as written; last time it split was 7:1 in 2014

b. Still searching. The amended script below has still too much hits. Wonder if there was a way to catch a stock "while at rest" between boxes?

c. added new highs history lookback and WMA150 to filter out those stocks not in an uptrend.

Adding a recent 3-year high makes your filter look quite promising, sandjco. At first I thought it may just be another sign of the unhinged market the past few months. I went back pre-crash and the filter seems to hold up then too.

Forgive me father for I have sinned....I should start another thread called "confessions of an earnings junkie". So hard to be disciplined...

Played ENPH today...what will it do from here thereon?


The good - existing position.
The derp play? Adding during earnings day...

Fetcher[
SET{SHARESTOBUY, 300/atr(20)}
set{positionamt, close * sharestobuy}
set{stoploss, close - ATR(20)}

add column sharestobuy {shares}
add column stoploss {stop}
add column positionamt {size}

Picked up more DPST; will use EOD pricing.
Will pick up DUSL/MIDU probably EOD

HIBL and DFEN holding.

Shorted MCRB $25; will probably cover EOD

edit: scaled back on ENPH
