I'm curious which filters over the course of the past 10 years were the most profitable for you? Don't necessarily care if they are still producing positive results. More interested in understanding why certain filters performed well in certain environments and why others have not.
I mentioned this earlier but I have been using high probability ETF strategy w/ leveraged ETFs and have had decent success with about a 10% return since June 1st.

Not necessarily the most profitable, though it could be assuming you have a boatload of money and are able to do it safely would be, shorting inverse ETFs normally or on gap ups, as 100% of all gaps have filled in the history of inverse ETFs. Small positions almost seem guaranteed to generate free money.

dgkaufman, There are six Connors High Probability ETF Strategy filters. Do you use one of the six filters or the Composite Long Filter?

Is it really which is the best filters but its trading the trend., catching the trend on a pullback on uptrending stocks.
IMHO.
There is 1000's of filters here on SF like Run Forrest Run, 13th_floors Deadly Combo, Muddy's bottom floor filters, Muddy's Fast K bottom , Kevin's filter's , TRO's posts a a lot of filters.

I know that it will take a lot of practice and mistakes in order to learn to spot "catching the trend on a pullback on uptrending stocks". Any suggestions on what common mistakes to avoid and what to look out for? I am trying to shorten my learning curve by using SF member experience. Thank you for your input.

Don't real trade until one can win on a consistent basis. There will be plenty of time later for that. I've blown up my account twice and hate it to even lose a dime but that part of trading. Don't play earnings. Don't give up just because the paper trades didn't pan out. Watch what other's are doing here on SF
A race car driver, pro football , pro baseball, doctor , lawyer , carpenter , brick layer, truck driver, cook didn't become good over night.

diversify -- industry
trade SMALL -- ratio to portfolio
SMALL losses -- ratio to portfolio
little or no margin -- protect against outliers
remember taxes -- don't reinvest everything
take some for yourself -- 1. rainy day fund and 2. fun -- don't reinvest everything
be careful of thinking you are a genius using a bull filter in a bull market AND
be careful of thinking you are a genius using a bear filter in a bear market
breathe -- in and out -- often
