Is there a way to build a filter basically where for example there is a slow sto crossover to the postives, a macd crossover and ther price passing up through the 10 SMA. When all through have crossed over the column Long will contain a 1 and the Short column will contain a 0 and do the opposite for the short filter? So all three would have to trigger before the Long or short signal triggers.
Thanks - Dave

A rare occurence for all 3 on the same day, don't you think?

Thanks TRO. They all do not have to trigger the same day. Most likely I'm guessing the Slow Sto would trigger first "x" amount a days later than the MACD then 10 day SMA or vice-versa. It's fine if it takes a couple of weeks for all of them to trigger. Could you please explain the filter when you get a chance. I'm still trying to learn the syntax.

Look's good. Just your opinion for trend trading do you all think this a good filter. Get in long when all trigger, stay long for at least one of the three are positive. Get out or go short when all three cross below. I would like a few (5 or less stocks) to trade over and over. I'm tired of trading 10+ stocks. Please provide your opinions. Merry Christmas also.

Now, all 3 have to have triggered in a 30 day period. Still no selections. I even tested at 100 days and no selections. Perhaps these 3 things don't happen at once. Not sure how to explain... it's your idea!!
But you said you wanted to trade the same 5 stocks over and over. May I suggest you use some of my TRO STAT SCAN filter displays to pick the stocks based on the statistics of their price movement rather than indicators.
Price is the input to indicators, not the other way around.

Changed the filter so the price has be to above the moving average rather than cross above it.

This returns 0 stocks which means this condition hasn't happened in 5 months!!
I would say this SQUIGGLY needs to be replaced!!

Q) Just your opinion for trend trading do you all think this a good filter.
A) NO.
If you want trending stocks, give these a shot:
The TREND column shows if the trend is up(1) or down(0).
Search the forum for explanations of all the columns.
