Ray, Not sure about VIFL, today was nice but wouldn't most candlers call 11/20 a Bozu? I gave your scan two shots: As written, even adding AvgVol(0, -7) > 100 [in lieu of PE], got mostly 0 vol days, with a fair # marching up rather than down. For the final shot, I picked all 8 black and back tested 10 days as below. ----------------------------------- input = "common.lst"; output = "8-10blk.lst"; If Close(-10) < Open(-10) and Close(-11) < Open(-11) and Close(-12) < Open(-12) and Close(-13) < Open(-13) and Close(-14) < Open(-14) and Close(-15) < Open(-15) and Close(-16) < Open(-16) and Close(-17) < Open(-17) and AvgVol(-10,-17)> 20 then println symbol:-10,",",close(-17)-close(-10),",",close(-10)-close(0); endif; ---------------------------- Got only twenty hits; 13 winners to 6 losers not too exciting IMO. --------------------------------- AGAM ,0.875,0.5625 ATAC ,2.5,-0.75 CPRD ,3.375,4.6875 CREE ,4.0625,-0.875 DLBI ,1.75,1.25 FLC ,4.625,1.25 GDP ,0.25,0.0625 GW ,0.875,2 HLYW ,1.5,2 HWYM ,0.625,0.75 MSX ,2.8125,-0.8125 NOI ,5.25,5 NVB ,1.625,1.0625 OMGA ,2.75,-1.5 OMM ,1.625,0 QUAL ,0.5625,1 RB ,5.5,0.9375 TELC ,5.125,-1 TMAR ,5.28125,4.3125 UDI ,2.4375,-1.875 ---------------------------------- Adding the logic to allow all but the two whites would certainly be challenging, but I can't see that one should expect a better batting average. -Bob -Bob |
