9/15/2007 4:19:13 PM SFMc01 TRO: I guess I'm the proverbial dummie who needs all explained to me in infinite detail, but, when you say: "Buy at market close, sell at the open the next session." Are you saying to run this filter near the end of the day, select from the report for that day and buy stocks (not ever sell) before market close to hold over night, and then, sell at the open at market? ========================================= I think you are talking about a different statistics filter. That one showed which stocks have a tendency to gap up. You buy them at the end of the day and sell them at the open of the next trading session. You run the filter when the market is CLOSED. So if you ran it today (Saturday) then you pick stocks to buy at Monday's close. |

9/16/2007 7:57:34 PM TRO: Thanks again. I'm running the filter you indicated as "/* 80% or greater selection criteria */" Another question, please. Respectfully, you said: "You run the filter when the market is CLOSED. So if you ran it today (Saturday) then you pick stocks to buy at Monday's close.” My question is this: Your statement means to only BUY stocks at Monday’s close when Monday’s Open is actually below Friday’s Close. Is this correct? Steve |

9/23/2007 8:25:28 PM TRO - This is an excellent filter! Thanks for sharing as usual. I am using the filter you posted (page 8) that buys on the close and sells on the open. I dont suppose you have tradestation code for this filter (or something like it) do you?? Thanks! |

9/23/2007 11:13:48 PM "My question is this: Your statement means to only BUY stocks at Monday’s close when Monday’s Open is actually below Friday’s Close. Is this correct? " You buy stocks AT THE OPEN!! So if a stock gaps down at the open, you buy when it shows that it is holding green ( the price is NOT dropping anymore). |

Don't you just love statistics? |

10/18/2007 2:04:41 PM It looks like this filter counts minor gaps up and down. I'm about to modify it to ignore gaps up or down less than 2% to filter out some of the noise. IMO, if a stock gaps down 1% and happens to fill, that is not very significant. If you have a version of your filter that already does this TRO let me know. I majored in Computer Science but prefer not to code unless necessary. |

10/18/2007 2:36:32 PM Is there any sort of debug mode on the stockfetcher compiler? set{Xgappedpercent, ((Xgapped / close 1 day ago)*100)} I don't know what's wrong with this syntax, but this line makes the filter return 0 matches. Here is my little mod though to only count stocks that gapped down or up more than 2 percent: set{Xgappedpercent, Xgapped / close 1 day ago} set{Xgapup, count(Xgappedpercent > .02, 1)} set{Xgapdn, count(Xgappedpercent < -.02, 1)} Rick |
