FILTERS I USE

In a recent comment I was asked this question,so here goes.

(1) show stocks where close gained more than 8 percent over the last one day and price is between .30 and 40

I use this to find bollinger band/volume increase/price breakout stocks aka as sq/vol/br
Please note, and this is VERY important, DO NOT use any volume indicator with this filter.
The reason being many huge runners go from tiny average volume to a very large 1 day spike on the stock's breakout and with a volume limit in the filter you will miss many of them.
I pull up all the matches and sort them by descending order of volume, most days using 700000k + as the cutoff limit.

I also use this filter with a date offset from 2 days up to 14 days and look for stocks that have gone down since hitting the filter.
Then I eyeball the charts and look for ones making either a FLAG pattern or ones that have pulled back into what we refer to in the chat as the MZ (muddy zone).This is the zone of the ema13/sma20.
To find some 2 day plus holds I use the following to find new 52 week highs beginning with a date offset of 2 and going up to 10 days looking for losers on the date offset filters and eyeballing the charts to find ones that have pulled back into the MZ and have gone green the next day.

(1a). show stocks where close reached a new 52 week high
price between 1 and 40
average volume(90)greater than 300000
average day range(30)is greater than 2
date offset is 2

Then on to the next filter

(2). show stocks where close lost more than 8 percent over the last one day and price is between 1 and 40 and volume is greater than 400000

I really like these as watches combined with stocks on the high dayrangers list.
I watch for matches off this list to go green from red on the realtime HOD list for best results.

(3). show stocks where the average day range(10) is above 8 percent and close price is between 1 and 15 and volume is above 300000

These are the stocks I love to trade.
I use one list per week,updating only once every weekend,2 minutes and done.Simple.
I load them into my watch list and trade them in numerous ways,off the hod list, going green from red,abnormal vol/spikes,hints of vol/movement in after and premarket that may indicate upcoming news.
Also I add a column "average day range(30)" to look for ones that are increasing in volatility in the last 10 days over their 30 day average.

(4). show stocks where fast stochastic fast %k(14) is below 10 and volume is above 400000 and close is between 1 and 15
average day range(10) is above 3

This I use to bottomfish and though a very simple filter has given imo some really good results.
I add columns RSI(2) and Williams%R(10) along with a column for fast stoch(14,10).
Complete details of this filter can be found on Stockfetcher.com on the Public Filters List on the Stockfetcher Forums under the filter name Fast%K Reversal.
This filter I mainly use for short swing trades.

And the best for last (for me):

(5). THE LIVE INTRADAY STREAMING HOD LIST FROM SCOTTRADE.
Not a filter or a scan but this is most awesome tool I use.
I know a ton of former runners and I can catch them very early many times in the start of their run.
I am not connected in any way with them other than a customer.
In fact I have a few gripes with them that they haven't ever emailed me back on.
It's just that the constant rolling hod list rocks for me and I haven't yet found another broker that offers it.
You can see what this rolling hod list looks like if you go up to the search box and type in "market movers"


You can change the volume and price in any of the filters to fit your personal tastes.
Please note on filter #1,the gained more than 8% momo filter I use a price down to .30.
Most times this will include otcbb and some pinksheets.
Understand I've been trading/watching stocks and markets for 43 years since the age of 15 and I have a tolerance for risk that is off the charts.
I'm very very careful trying to put the odds in my favor in the risk/reward department.
I have extreme confidence in what I do when it comes to trading.
If you are newer to trading please stay away from these lower priced and otcbb/pinks.
Stick with the price range you feel most comfortable with in these filters.
