Four, I am trying to understand your point on the spy relative to the close of the vix. are you arguing that the spy is maxxing out right now and we may see a consistent dip?

Four can you advise what your entry strategy is for these two filters? I'm looking at the charts and not seeing it... its been a long week.
draw ema(5) < ema(13)
draw ema(13) < ema(62)
close < ema(5)
close > open
open 1 day ago > close 1 day ago
low > 11
volume > 123123
add column annual dividend yield
***************************************************************
draw bollinger %B(125,0.1) cross below 10
draw bollinger %B(125,0.1) line at 5
draw bollinger %B(20,1) line at 0
sp500
draw bollinger %B(20,1) below 1

From page 5 this is the /Short/ setup - why did you go long?

"entry strategy"
---------------------------------
Folks may not like my subjective answer...
I trade small and with dividends:
= Enter with a limit order a few cents under the price when I am in front of the filter and I am in the trading account.
= If I enter an order that night= I just enter a stop-limit order at high + .01.
Try for ~$50+ gain
I trade small and no dividends:
See above and I "scalp". I don't want to keep a stock without a dividend. So by "scalping" it is "like" collecting a dividend. Scalp means taking less than $30 ~usually.
--------- Finally,
-- I sometimes break the above "policies".
-- A large regularly paying dividend stock may even find me averaging in on the up -OR- down side.
-- Folks who read through my posts over the years will recognize my reluctance to take a loss. Thus I have graduated to taking small positions that don't hurt. And with a dividend I gain the ability to "average" down on the cost of the purchase.
-- Rarely short and only if there is no dividend. Even though some filters include a short trigger.
-- I try to keep learning and understanding. Thank you everyone!
-- Hopefully a filter or two will help someone else. I try to give back.
-- I "back-test" visually by clicking through StockFetcher.
hope this helps
