@KSK8 - you are crushing it on your trades. Well done.

I was testing the filter you posted on the holy grail thread using reversersi(2) as alternative exit for covering at the close. Backtesting and optimization were done with Stratasearch. I don't remember the exact filter, but it was rather basic, something like close>2 and roc(2)> 30 and your liquidity criteria. It returned some 1200 trades over a 3 year period with a 185 % compounded annual return. I did trade this for a few months using $500 positions to see whether I would get filled. I was actually surprised that more often than not I was able to get a hold of shares to short at IB. Results were not as stellar as the backtest however, and I noticed many trades reversing during the session to end up a loss.
Further testing and adding criteria I found a few things: high average volume decreases the chance of succes and volume should at least be 10 times average volume(30). And it helps if a significant part of the float was traded.
During the first testperiod I usually got somewhere between 5 and 15 candidates. I would set up orders for the top ten and see which would get a fill. Now I pick no more than 2, but the last few trades IB has not been able to find shares.

Anyway, my filter as of now:

I've based some of my very successful trades from this one alone.
It only yields candidates a few times a month, BUT it is one of the most reliable 1 day shorting filters I've come up with. Most accurate as well. I'm comfortable making it public as I have others similar that I can rely on.

I would love to backtest this with Stratasearch. However, if I recall, Stratasearch does not have max and min components which this filter has in it. Not sure if there's a way around it...

StrataSearch has absolute?

----------------------------------------------- StockFetcher

set{x4, abs(open minus close)}
add column x4

I had to adjust a few statements in order to run it with economy class subscription. It suggests FRSX which I also have as first on the list.

Stratasearch has min/max functions, but they're called lower and higher. Also abs() is available.

This one should work for everyone. The accuracy and large returns this entails is something to marvel.

Keep in mind, this yields candidates a few times per month. But the prospect of patience is the backbone of why my callout thread has induced close to a 1000% return in mere months.

KSK8: Have you tried various stop-loss strategies?

Thanks,

SFMc01,

I find stop losses to be only necessary when you 'anticipate' where the price is going.

In my trading, I rarely use stop losses because I 'expect' where the price is going.

That's why my trades are so successful. Stop losses would only slow me down.

I wouldn't play it since it didn't come on my scanner but it looks exhausted so it might be a good short.
