Swing Trading with Larry Connors

Over the past few months, there have been requests for swing trading filters. As has been pointed out by several members on SF over the years, Larry Connors' quantitative strategies continue to be some of the best swing trades in existence. That is because human emotion never changes. Fear and greed rule the market. I recommend his books wholeheartedly.

Personally, I'rve had success with his strategies. These are not home-run trades, they are base hits at best. However, they are frequent and keep you engaged if you're itching for action. Average gains are around 1% for 3-7 day trades. Compounded over a year, these base hits add up quickly.

I am posting all the Larry Connors filters I've coded and personalized for my use during my history with SF. Some are modified from other members' existing filters.

It is my hope this will satisfy future requests of swing trade filters.

Enjoy!

500,000 and where Connors RSI(3,2,100) is greater than 85
and Historical Volatility(100,1) is greater than 40
and adx(10) is greater than 40
and where high divided by close from 1 day ago is greater than 1.079

and add column Connors RSI(3,2,100)
and add column MA(5)
and add column PE Ratio
and add column high
and add column low
add column optionable

Thank you for that great filter, mike.

Perhaps because of my own limitations, Im still trying to figure out how to use the other filters in this thread but I do thank you for sharing.
