Mac, this is too easy. Doing an hour or so of "hit or miss" backtesting, the results seem to merit further exploration.
So far, I am using ema8 crossing above ema21 plus 2 day slope of ma200 being positive as a trigger. I am sorting on the number of days ema8 is below ema21 multiplied by the 2 day slope of ma200
The range of stocks is my usual optionable and average vol(30) > 5000000.
Thanks for the tip,
Graf

Graf, would you mind sharing the filter that uses the positive slope of ma200 as a trigger? Thanks.
Mac, thank you for posting the simple EMA cross. Ron

The following filter indicated EXA and EBAY as possibles this morning. I am picking EXA as the gap up in EBAY is problematic. However pre- market activity leaves me undecided.
Good Hunting All,
Graf

Mac and Graf,
You both have freely shared so many good filters. Thank you so much
for your generosity. Just like TRO, you give because you can.
When you have a moment, could you please create two new READ-ONLY threads
named "BEST OF MAC (read-only)" and "BEST OF GRAF (read-only)",
store and update your best current filters there? Even just the URLs
of specific pages are fine.
I would never ask about your proprietary trading secrets, only a prioritization of
your many good filters.
I just think that it would be a great service to the forum community (old hands
and newbies) to know which ones of your already published filters
are considered the current best. You can always update the inductees
to your Hall of Fame later on.
Thank you both, again.

Mac and Graf, I agree with Cheese. Your posts are terrific and they help everyone. "Best of" current filters would be awesome. TRO and others please feel free to post your own "Best of" filters. Maybe someone could post a "Best of" filter for Kevin. Thank you all very much and Good Trading.
