7/27/2014 5:15:40 PM Four Do you have a favorite filter for going long-short? |

7/27/2014 6:19:00 PM novacane32000, No favorite for long/short. I rarely short. I don't go short unless it pays no dividend. I don't go long unless it pays a dividend. I stay away from OTC. Low > 10. Decent volume. I look for a dip in the short trend while the long trend is keeping the momentum (opposite for short). I enter at the trigger day price (high=long,low=short) or better, next day, with a stop-limit. I exit with a limit. I also find that I will keep setting new trades if the stock is going down (new order based on the new high each day--if long) until it executes. This seems to keep me out of many stocks that react poorly to the filter. You will see a "trend" in the filters posted that reflect the above thesis.I keep my "bet" small (individual stock)) enough that a 50% drawdown doesn't hurt. The dividends keep pumping new money into the 'system. I always have trouble with the exit (win/loss). Perhaps, you can offer your favorites with the rules... or rework one of my posts into something. HTH Here is something you might play with for a short. i would test it visually by moving forward, hence the offset being 100 days. Again, you would keep resetting your order if the filter hits again. I would be interested in a filter that doesn't have to be reset. Does anyone here enter at the trigger and accept an immediate drawdown and exit for a loss? Or set a farther away stoploss and let the stock "meander" for a while? Average up? Average down? Pyramid in either direction? FIRST RECTANGLE: EXAMPLE OF WAITING A WHILE FOR THE SHORT TO BE LARGE AND RUNNING INTO MANY FALSE SIGNALE AND RESETTING THE ORDER Second Rectangle, on the other hand, went much better.  |
