Kevin_in_GA,
I want you to know that this particular thread is the reason I joined StockFetcher. So a hearty "thank you" to you!
I have been trading 3x ETFs with the RSI(2) method for a few months, mainly TNA, FAS, TQQQ, and have had good results. If you decide to post something new that ties RSI(2) based approaches to 3x ETFs, I would love to read it, please consider it.

Pesonally I avoid the 3x ETFs, since the leverage causes some serious drag on risk-adjusted performance. However, glad to hear that they are working for you.
Connors just came out with a new system (the "ConnorsRSI") that I am dissecting now. Not sure if this can be coded in SF, but of more interest to me is how well can one approximate or beat their performance using variations and/or simplifications of the system.

Kevin
Would you try scale it for SF to use it on ETF's or individual names?
In the ConnorsRSI PDF he is speaking to individual stocks.
Thank you
Cheers

The version I am playing with uses all available stocks and ETFs. I have been looking at Connors' core criteria without his "ConnorsRSI" oscillator. The basic entry strategy he uses is
close above 5
average volume(21) above 250000
adx(10) above 30
low 1 day ago below close 2 days ago* X (where X = 0.92 to 0.98)
low below close 1 day ago * Y (where Y = 0.92 to 0.98)
He then adds his proprietary indicator to the entries and exits. Looking at the base above, it ends up that you really don't even need his oscillator if you simply use RSI(2) for your entry selection and exit trigger. I ran a few additional optimizations (RSI period, adx period, adx value at entry, RSI value at exit, etc.) and got some very respectable systems. More on this later.

Kevin
I am simply amazed at how generous you are with your ideas.
I am sure you keep the really juicy ones for your own (as you should :-) ) but what you have
given so far is beyond commendable and I just cannot thank you enough.
Can I get an amen from you fellow SFer's out there using Kevin's algorithms - here's to Kevin.

I posted the results of this study in the "ConnorsRSI" thread in the other forum. Still tweaking, but you can see the results and all of the code there.

Thanks, but honestly this is not generosity so much as simply putting some of my thought processes out to the community for feedback. I really like the challenge of developing these types of systems and analyses. Sharing them with others is just part of the process for me.
