Two issues I see.
1. The 90 day slope is from today, not 90 days before your entry.
2. Try testing against a falling market, i.e. year to date, you'll see very differenct results.

Good luck

I have one filter for example that produces 86% success. So, there is hope for you. Just keep reworking your filters till you find the golden nugget.

Goodluck

Marine2:

What's the reason you didn't tell him the filter you are talking about is posted in the filter exchange under RSI(2) THE LITTLE INDICATOR THAT COULD?

TheRumpledOne, why take all your thunder away from you Rump. It's my job to encourage using the RSI(2) tool nothing else. I let him know anyone can come up with big winners using this and other neat tools we all have access to. I am like you I don't reveal all the details of the full filter all because that is a individuals specific filter criteria that might not be what another would use. Also, why make it so easy on our forum members, working for that ellusive filter ingrediant inspires us to try harder and achieve what we know our minds can accomplish. You for one should know that!

Happy investing and sure Rump if you want to tell him more details go for it.

Marine2... you are so funny...

"... I am like you I don't reveal all the details of the full filter all because that is a individuals specific filter criteria that might not be what another would use.

You are NOT like me.

Why make it difficult?

People helped me learn SF when I was new. Now I pay it back and pay it forward.

I have revealed the guts of the RSI(2) filter that HolyGrail and I developed... YEARS AGO IN THESE FORUMS:

Fetcher[RSI(2) BELOW 1]

.

That's it. That's the guts. It's so simple it boogles the mind. That's why I nicknamed it THE LITTLE INDICATOR THAT COULD.

Adding volume and price to suit each trader's own criteria.

If you only want uptrending stocks you add in:

Fetcher[RSI(2) BELOW 1
and 60 day slope of the close greater than 0
and 200 day slope of the close greater than 0
]

.

Now let's get rid of some of the chaff (low volume stocks - not to be confused with 0 volume stocks that may pop anyday):

Fetcher[RSI(2) BELOW 1
and 60 day slope of the close greater than 0
and 200 day slope of the close greater than 0
and avg volume(90) above 300000
]

.


That's it. You now have uptrending stocks at their lowest. All the rest is just tweaking.

The other thing to do is apply RSI(2) BELOW 1 to your watchlist. When one of your favorites shows up... LOAD THE BOAT.

Use the RSI(2) filter and learn how to trade (meaning wait for green).

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

TheRumpledOne, yes you're right no two people are alike whether its wiping their butts to picking particular tools to represent a winning filter for oneself. For once we agree. Put yet, another feather, in your hat for revealing again, how informative you are, as well as how simple it is, to find winning stock picks. Oh sure, there's an art/skill to this process but through useing it and gaining that all encompassing knowledge of hands-on experience just about anyone can be a good stock investor.

May all your investing be an experience you will always remember.
