hey kevin what do you think of this filter?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I like using the lower Bollinger band(16,2.5). Any reason why you are keeping the stocks below $10?
My small suggested changes:
When you raise the close to 50, it only adds 1 additional stock for today.

The RumpledOne,
I had a great first day trading the Tro Crock Pot. Ran the filter Sun eve, then picked 7 stocks that had 48 weeks with 1% move, between $1 & $3.50, and were in an up trend. (3 higher closes in a row.) I was just trying to reduce the pool from 164 down to 5-10. Bought 3-5K shares of each at the open. Placed sell orders on each with a 2% gain, I'm greedy. 5 of 7 sold already at 2% or higher. I saw 2 were starting to run so I canceled their sell orders and sold them after they reached 10% and 6% gains. Had 1 loser because I enter the sell order at 2.49 instead of 3.49. Doh! Cost me $60, because the stock was down a couple cents from open. Still holding 2 and I'll post results once they sell.
Appreciate all of your insight and willingness to share your time and knowledge.
Sincerely,
CF509

Yeah - JAZZ delivers yet again. I sort them on the 2% column, and JAZZ consistently seems to deliver that and more each week.

just starting using swing filters - I was trading on the MACD prior to this.
So far I am going with a Bollinger band-based filter
I sell when the price closes above the upper BB at the same settings.
I apply this to a set of watchlist that contain about 580 stocks ranked 90 or higher by IBD.

Really easy. Just add "and apply to watchlist(XYZ)" at the end of the filter code. You can have it scan multiple Watchlists as well (XYZ,ABC,123, etc).
Same trick for a list of symbols:
"and apply to symlist(aapl,msft,csco,intc)"
