Lacric, What is your trigger for entry and your trigger for exit?

What timeframe do you use to trade this filter? Thank you for posting this filter?

I use this filter with a 5 minute chart , also look at a daily and look left just to identify where the resistance is. On the 5 the trigger comes when 5 sma crosses above 8 sma, I like a sharp angle and separation between the 2 averages. and a sharp up angle on the ADX. I have several screen shots of breaks out using this filter, will be glad to send those to you. The candlesticks will start to pull back at or below the 5 sma, and that triggers sale for me. I use this proprietary trading and works really well.

I use a similar setup and have OK results. One question though. How often do you see the ADX above 70? My criteria has been an ADX >40 and rising which indicates a trend is in place. Just scanning through a few charts, I see those with an ADX >70 have already had a large price move. I am a new day trader and have much to learn.

One of the weaknesses of day trading is finding stocks with enough movement in price. A good way to find stocks with good movement in price is to use the ATR. However, a weakness that I have found in the ATR is that fact ATR is not a true indicator of movement. (Yes, it is a true indicator of dollar movement, but not price movement). So I wrote a small filter to give a True ATR indicator. This indicator shows the Percent movement in price, so you can see and filter true movement amount be it a $5 stock or a $85 dollar stock. Just look at the Percent ATR movement and you will know the true movement in a stock over time.

Here I am looking at stocks with a price movement in the last 5 days averaging over 10% on stocks with a 10 to 20 dollar price per share.

Fetcher[
show stocks where price between 10 and 20
/* convert ATR to percent */
set{rat1,atr(5)/high}
set{ATR%,rat1*100}
add column atr(5)
add column ATR%
atr% > 10
]



Here I am looking at stocks with a price movement in the last 1 day averaging over 10% prices between 50 and 100 dollars per share.

Fetcher[
show stocks where price between 50 and 100
/* convert ATR to percent */
set{rat1,atr(1)/high}
set{ATR%,rat1*100}
add column atr(1)
add column ATR%
atr% > 10
]



I hope I got this right.
