Okay, guys. Here's a simple filter that I call 'Shadow Walker'. What makes this different from the filters I've seen so far is that it selects the stocks according to the lengths of their lower shadows in relation to the length of their upper shadows.
I was just fooling around and came up with the idea to see what would happen if I took this approach.
Backtest Setup...
Name: Shadow Walker
Approach Type: Long
Start Date: 01/29/2010
End Date: 04/19/2010
Benchmark Symbol: ^DJI
Exit Setup
Stop Loss: 30%
Profit Stop: 10%
Trailing Stop Loss: N/A
Minimum Holding Days: N/A
Maximum holding days: 25
Extra Indicators
Entry Columns:
Show Performance After: after 2 days
after 5 days
after 10 days
after 25 days
after 40 days
Advanced Options
Selection Method: select by volume descending
Entry Price: open
Conditional Entry: No
Exit Price: open
Maximum Trades Per Day: 25
Maximum Open Positions: 20
Maximum Selected Stocks: All
Now, here are the results...
Trade Statistics
There were 48 total stocks entered. Of those, 28 or 58.33% were complete and 20 or 41.67% were open.
Of the 28 completed trades, 27 trades or 96.43%resulted in a net gain.

Stop Profit was triggered 20 times or 71.43% of the time.

You held for the maximum period of time (25 days) 8 times or 28.57% of the time.
