Actually I just started trading this filter a week ago. And not with the 10% profit and 50% loss stop, but a relatively equivalent 5% profit, 25% loss stop. So far so good. The fundamentals are taken care of by picking stocks from Investors Business Daily top 100 list. I traded HURN for a quick 5% and have my money in SNDA at the moment. If I had the free cash I would put some into HURC because it looks like a BBand squeeze candidate for a fast 5%.
I do pick and choose which qualifying stocks on my watchlist I buy. I feel more comfortable buying into an uptrend and buying stocks with a higher IBD rating.
Hope this helps
Casey

My filter would have triggered a buy in GES on Friday!! You would have gotten in at 47.50. Lets see how she does over the next 4 days.

Casey,
Your Bollinger band squeeze filter with the IBD100 really rocks !
Thanks for sharing the filter and the method.

you have to be a subscriber to IBD before you can get the IBD 100. You can get it at a newsstand or your local Library may carry it. Then you have to make a watch Lists with the 100 stocks and add that to your filter.
for example and "apply to watchlist(IBD)" The name in () would be whatever you name your watchlist.
Hope that helps

I believe that it is the Monday morning edition that has the list of IDB 100 stocks. Possibly a subscriber can tell us.

Thanks for the information. So its basically I add the 100 list to the filter and it will filter out the stocks to pick? Sorry, I don't really understand how this superb system works. Thanks

NO, you don't add the IBD 100 to your filter you create a "watch list".
When you are in Stockfetcher, look for the following menu items at the top of the page.
Home · Watch Lists · Public Filters · Backtesting · SF 2.0 · My Filters; etc
Click on Watch Lists, then click on create new and follow the prompts.
After you have your "Watch List" in place, add the following command at the beginning of any filter you want to run against the stocks you have in your watch list.
Apply to watchlist(IBD100) . . . (OR WHATEVER YOU NAME IT !)
(NOTE - Watchlist name cannot contain spaces
