3/5/2012 11:55:04 AM Many filters look good during the nice uptrends. What is hard to find are filters that work equally well, or at least stay positive during the down markets like 5/1/2011 to 9/1/2011. Here is one from Levamit that seems to work Approach Type: Long Start Date: 04/29/2011 End Date: 08/31/2011 Benchmark Symbol: ^SPX Exit Setup Stop Loss: 10% Profit Stop: N/A Trailing Stop Loss: N/A Minimum Holding Days: 1 Maximum holding days: 3 Advanced Options Selection Method: Entry Price: close Conditional Entry: No Exit Price: open Maximum Trades Per Day: 1 Maximum Open Positions: 10 Maximum Selected Stocks: 1 Close all OPEN positions: Yes Trade Statistics There were 65 total stocks entered. Of those, 65 or 100.00% were complete and or 0.00% were open. Of the 65 completed trades, 31 trades or 47.69%resulted in a net gain. Your average net change for completed trades was: 1.24%. The average draw down of your approach was: -7.88%. The average max profit of your approach was: 9.67% The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 1.37 Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 111.51%, the ROI of ^SPX was: -29.83%. Exit Statistics Stop Loss was triggered 12 times or 18.46% of the time. Stop Profit was triggered 0 times or 0.00% of the time. Trailing Stop Loss was triggered 0 times or 0.00% of the time. You held for the maximum period of time (3 days) 53 times or 81.54% of the time. An exit trigger was executed 0 times or 0.00% of the time. Summary Invested In Stock: $0.00 Market Value of Stock: $0.00 Market Value - Invested: - $0.00 Available Cash: $107982.34 Total (Cash + Market): $107982.34 Anyone else have a better filter during this period? |

3/5/2012 9:06:59 PM Thank you very much for sharing this Levamit, This filter is very interesting. Something I would like to share when I did backtesting for this. 1) This is long strategy, so it doesn't work during down trend, try to avoid it if you can or use a tight stoploss. If not the backtest was telling that the up trend is strong enough to save it. 2) Most of the winner are penny stock, you can read deanengle's post in this thread, but be strong if you strongly believe in the magic of statistics. http://forums.stockfetcher.com/sfforums/?q=view&fid=1002&tid=105230&qrid= 3) This works well with 2% stoploss also, best stoploss so far is 7% which looks quite safe to trade. Good luck guys. |

3/10/2012 11:02:16 PM novacane, I tested your strategy back for 2 years, and it didn't go well - it's equity summary gained about 2% total. One of the problems I think is that your strategy has a ton of hits because your criteria isn't very specific. As for penny stocks - levamit's strategy only uses stocks greater than $1.20. |

3/10/2012 11:04:55 PM levamit, What is your exit for this last strategy? Is it still hold for 3 days no matter what? I did some testing and found that the 3 day hold didn't do so well. However, putting in this exit: rsi(2) crosses above 55 gives excellent results - especially the last 2 years. Equity summaries for this latest method with my exit from equity summary: 11-12: 208% 10-11: 220% 9-10: 367% 8-9: 5% 7-8: 76% 6-7: 96% 5-6: 153% 4-5: 463% 3-4: 390% 2-3: 796% Results from 2008-2009 are disheartening at 5% whereas your last method returned 421% from the same year. Otherwise, this seems to be superior. Best, Tom |

3/11/2012 9:47:58 AM Thanks levamit, Is there anyway to modify your filter to pickup optionable stocks with close above 10? Bob |
| tombrown1 61 posts msg #105371 - Ignore tombrown1 |
3/11/2012 5:46:37 PM Bob, Just add one line and change one line. Add: stocks are optionable Change his line of code that reads "close > 1.20" to "close > 10" |

3/11/2012 5:59:55 PM @ tombrown1....Thank you for your input, your exit does seem to fit the filter well. Did you ever find a stop loss that did not hurt the results? Some of the losses in the 20% range would get pretty scary. |

3/11/2012 6:20:51 PM Duke, I did try some stops, and they kill the results. Why so attached to stops? The strategy only risks 20% each trade, so a 20% loss on a stock only gives you an overall hit of 4%. And if you know that overall the strategy will make a ton, then you have no worries about that 20% loss. After a lot of testing, I still find levamit's older system (the one without the CCI and RSI requirements; and a simple 3-day hold for the exit) to be a touch better. But only a touch. In fact, I'm curious to know which numbers you think are better. Here are results for levamit's older system (equity summary): 11-12: 38% 10-11: 185% 9-10: 540% !!! 8-9: 421% !!! 7-8: 59% 6-7: 85% 5-6: 399% !!! 4-5: 177% 3-4: 343% 2-3: 917% !!! Levamit's system in this thread with my exit: 11-12: 208% !!! 10-11: 220% !!! 9-10: 367% 8-9: 5% 7-8: 76% !!! 6-7: 96% !!! 5-6: 153% 4-5: 463% !!! 3-4: 390% !!! 2-3: 796% (!!! indicates it was the higher number for that year) The second strategy has 6 wins to the first one's 4, but the 1st one makes quite a bit more money if you had traded it from the beginning and compounded it. The 2nd one also has better numbers in the last two years which is huge. Which numbers would you rather have in a system? |
