I trust the second filter more. The one with GST & VGZ.
GST is my top play, though SDRL on the first filter may be in play, and if it is it could run big.
Anyway, they are all up. Since my investment in each stock is small, that's what I'm willing to risk. And my exit is EMA(300) or (100).

NVCN AUG. 22 up 80%
This will surpass ema(300)
Identify the trend is up then sell either at ema100 200 or 300
Check PLUG Feb 2, 2017

Can't be
This did not show up then
Market cap today is just above 100m and a 77% return since then
would have made this stock not show on the filter.
That is the problem with this one - the stock needs to be AT a market cap above 100m
when it triggers NOT when you look back because SF ONLY takes today's market cap
when looking back

There are only 78.91m shares and at the .71 price when it would have showed up on the filter
would have given this a market cap of only 56 million
The stock NEEDS to be above THE VERY DAY it shows otherwise looking back the results are
not correct.
trust me I love this filter - ABSOLUTELY LOVE it - but you cannot look back unless the returned
stock WAS above 100m market cap when it showed at days end.

I've noticed that too. At least you can catch the trend as it heads to ema(300) as almost everyone of them seems to do. Look for pullbacks and play them.
I also use a 75m variation on this.
Just want to say, never play SDRL as it will always drop.

PLUG - now that one IS correct because the current return of 127% from 3 Feb does not
count this out as market cap is 474m (so if you took total shares outstanding 224.73 x close on
3 Feb of .94 = 211m market cap THAT day - so that one is real.
Nice job on this filter
Thank you for sharing it

This really should be the way the filter is set;
Stocks are not OTCBB
Bollinger Width Oscillator(5,2) below -1 in last day
Lower Acceleration Band(5) dropped more than 3.5 Percent
Lower Keltner Band(5)dropped more then 3 percent
Day Position(0.5,1)below day position 2 days ago
do not draw day position (-1.00,5)
do not draw day position
and price between 0.01 and .99
IMI(4) below 11
shares outstanding above 100
add column shares outstanding
add column market cap
You really cannot have ANY stock show unless it's greater than 100m shares
when you are screening for a market cap greater than 100m - no?
Does anyone know how to show market cap THE DAY the stock was returned?
SF only shows current market cap - it would be awesome to know what the
market cap was the day the stock was actually selected when doing a back test.

This looks real good Jack. I would also consider waiting for 1 or 2 touches of the lower acceleration band. Many of them really take off after they have touched.
Have you figured out any way to exit at the very top?

Best exit would be first red candle after touching upper acceleration band.
