...i've been using m4m filter w/ 20d below 0.85; rsi(2) below 5; wm% above 0.10. i monkey around with the filter if not enough hits. i've been having great success lately. most of my dd is w/ibd and chas. schwab.
anyway, i got 5k shares of cwst on 12/11 @13.52$. it closed yesterday @ 14.11$ i have a sell order at 14.50$. i'll take 5 g's a week anyday.

see my post in the above link. i just fiddle around with the numbers. increase the 20d to .90, or rsi(2) to 25.
as tro has always said, "it ain't the filter, it's how you trade" or something like that.

What a day! The market gapped down and stayed down until the incurable bulls go together in a united front and pushed it up in the afternoon. There must have been some news and it couldn't have been due to the baseball doping probe!
If you haven't already covered ure short, you better move yo ass soon 'cause it ain't looking very pretty like there's no tomorrow for us perma-bears.

thanks tro. just throw a date offset of 1,2,3, etc. and look at all the green. i really like this filter. i use 1 of mary's, another i added some wrinkles too and 3 of yours (bottom finder and slot machine and another you did on 11/30.
i don't know if it's luck, but i'm having pretty good success. i subscribe to ibd, so i get their website. under stock checkup they have a graph timliness feature. i look for an 'A' but have settled for 'B's'. seems to really help in my dd.
thanks for all your help in past with your filters. it's greatly appreciated.

nikoschopen,from my perspective today was a technical bounce. (I don't ever read market news. IMO, news = noise)
COMP/QQQQ was overbought and up against the 50 DMA previously. That turned out to be a ST top.
Traders were'nt seeing a compelling buying opportunity until the COMP/QQQQ tested the 15 DMA as support.
It is good support because its one of the major MA's and had already established an uptrend.
This time I suspect we push through the 50 DMA as the Weekly Chart is in an accumulation phase. 15 DMA needs to hold as support tomorrow to maintain bullish outlook.
If the 50 DMA holds as resistance again then we drop like a rock, IMO.
