Has anyone added the MACD for confirmation on this filter?
Let me know what you think.

Stan,
I started using this at the beginning of the year, there is a MACD confirmation included in it. The filter is kinda tight, but is 100% for the year with a +300% ROI. I buy big "lots" of stock so this filter is perfect for me.
For back testing I use a 3% stop loss and 4% profit stop.

irishpitbull.
Thanks very much.
I'm also using the PSAR for confirmation.
Using that with MACD helps with entries.

irishpitbull,
Have you tried backtesting your filter

going back a few years?Obviously 2008 should be expected to be difficult but years beyond that are nothing like recent years. I'm using your 3% & 4% suggestions. One thing I did different was to limit entries to 2 a day and maximum positions to 10 because I feel that represents what I think most traders would do.
