WES was taken out of IBD3 because it had dropped below 85 (posted this on 9/15). I am not sure if this would be a good play yet - need to look at it some more over the weekend. Can still buy in on Monday if things look good.

Sorry about that.

No need to apologize - look at this closely anyway. Just because it isn't on the most recent list, it WAS a highly ranked stock from IBD just a few months ago.

Kevin,
I am following your BB strategy for about two weeks now and I have to say, it been good so far. I am working on my entry/ and looking for confirmation. I decided to use the effective volume by Pascal Willain as a confirmation method. See if large players are buying the stock or selling it. Using this technique, i would not have bought AAP, MANT, TNDM, STEC (ther was increase sell by the large players in the last 2 days, but today, it seems effective volume picking up steam). Using same technique, LINC seemed to be good buy.
Another case is AMED, the effective volume showed large sell off on sept. 2, 3 and by Sept. 4 the effective volume (by large players) went up again indicating big funds were buying the stock.
I will do more back testing of this strategy over the weekend and see if this holds in most cases..
Thanks for sharing your filter with us..

a24ali:
Would you mind explaining the concept of effective volume? Also, have you written any code for it in SF or backtested anything using this strategy?
Inquiring minds want to know!

A quick google search told me that this uses 1-minute data (something I can't do right now). This system is an end-of-day strategy. His concept of Active Boundaries seems structurally consistent with this approach, however.
I can't seem to find anything on them or how they might be calculated. Thoughts?

A24ali, thank you so much for sharing this.
Kevin{ this will work I'm sure. Have also been playing around with the money flow index. It appears to me that the W% may be an earlier indicator by a least 1 day at times.

Just thinking about this a little bit further ...
Not sure that we need to adjust this system - it is simple in concept and execution, has been backtested through good times and bad, and still delivers 80% success rates on average.
Always willing to look at improvements, but I'm not so keen on complicating a system that does not need to be more complicated.
a24ali, if you could show some of your thinking regarding when and why Effective Volime would be a confirming signal for some of these stocks:
AMED
STAR
OTEX
STEC
DL
FHCO
Be nice to see how Active Boundaries would have treated these versus Bollinger Bands.

Hi ,
Hey check out OBV on balance volume this indicator gives an early shot of when the buyers come back in and works well with Bollinger bands .
