I don't know how to post a filter , nor am I a a decent programmer;
As I am looking a lot for short signals, in order to play diagonal weekly puts,I 'd like to have a confirmation linked to "Take Action": I added an MACD Hist column( to be negative) and another MACD histo column with a 2 day slope.
Ideally, I think , It would this combination:
Take Action+ negative MACD hist+ up sloping 2 day slope MACD hist( countertrend rally)+ Alpha Start=0 + Alpha End =0
Q: is there a way to better see the Alpha direction ALL the time?(ie: keep +1 for long positions and -1 for Shorts?
Thanks for your suggestions

It looks good, at the first glance, this filter.
If anybody can backtest it?

could this be linked to the fact that the filter uses calendar vs trading days?
Is there a way to change this?
( I have no backgroud on programming:big Zero)

I love this filter, POINT!
I use it with weekly Options spreads( diagonals), which give me the extra time for error in the trend.
The signals seem to be very reliable.
Question: In real time ,Though,I got some problems: let's say, today I look at the column-signal, and the signal, did not,yet, turn,from positive to negative; but, tomorrow, the column signals that the turn took already place 2 or 3 days ago !
If I go backwards and check the plots I notice that they changed already one day ago, although, in real time, they did not, when I checked , yesterday?
Is there a problem with the count?
Thanks for your help.

I would suggest,one should check the chart on multiple time frames , before taking a trade?
the weekly chart gives a more prudent story: big , engulfing, bear candle, followed by 7 weekly slowly inching higher candles( bear flag - ish), the continuation down , big time.

I'm also afraid that Kevin, himself lost a good shirt on that XIV trade : he was showing stats suggesting significant amounts of money involved; Probably , like all of us , he's never thought that a 100% increase on VIX : 12 to 24, would mean a 100% loss in an inverse fund: XIV 130 to 5 then ZERO !!
That , I hope , will be a lifelong lesson for ALL of us about the leveraged and inverse funds.

I think , the XIV- 100% loss deceived many, many , followers of Kevin 's research and,I also think, many of them were too heavily- over- invested in it ?
Maybe they take a break to refuel, if they are really passionate about speculation, unless this might have been a fatal blow to them?
That is the reason I keep warning people:"STOP testing your ideas and trading the 2x,3x,straight or inverse ETFs !
That blow was SO fast , people had NO CHANCE to react to it: they saw a loss of 98% OVERNIGHT!(You remember? XIV was , I think about 90 before the close, then, in after hours, finished around 15!!; you went out for dinner, you lost all your money in the after hours session)
