Gerald Appel (creator of the MACD Signal) has created a Triple Momentum signal, which he says is a great broad-based signal -- at least for Nasdaq.
Using QQQQ, he adds up the ROC(5), ROC(15) and ROC(25), and when the summation of these three ROCs shoots from below 4% to above 4%, that's a Buy for QQQQ. Same addition, and when it goes from above 4% to below 4%, that's a Sell.
Found this in one of his recent books. He backtests 1981 thru 2004 (part) with nearly 20% compounded yield per year over that long time frame. In the market only 46% of the time; the remainder in cash. Only one (minor) negative year from 81 thru 04. Did superbly well 2000-2002.
Don't know how the numbers look from 2004-2009.
Don't know how to put this into SF query languag. Any help, here?

Chetron,
Does this produce only those stocks that (xroc) went below 4 on the day of search? That's what I want.
Again, xroc would be the sum of the 5-day, 15-day, and 25-day ROCs.
Thanks, again.

Great! How many variables can you put in one "set" command? Is it only 2?
