Got to love the 52 1% stocks out of 52 weeks. I like those odds.
Just to clarify, is the "onepct" column the weekly count out of 52 that the stock dropped 1% from weekly open?
For example, monday at open stock xyz is at 100. Sell short. Set a buy to cvr limit order at 99. I am I looking at this right.

Stjoe,
Why are you paying so much for your trades. You can trade these days for .004/share thats .40 cents for 100 shares and 4 dollars per thousand, $14 seems like alot of money for 100 share trades. You can also get 7 to 10:1 leverage, are you an active trader?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The onepct column is the number of weeks out of 52 the stock GAINED 1% or more.

I was looking at the calcs below and trying to make sense of it with what you mentioned.
set{woplo, weekly open - weekly low }
set{Short_Profit, woplo / weekly open }
set{wkProfitPct, 100 * Short_Profit }

Hey lfrisch and TRO,
Actualy I am very new. IWork duing the day and have to place my trades at night.
I also use Scottrade and they charge me $14 for a round trip. Today was my first shot at swing trading. Using TRO's "SLOW COOKER FOR SWING TRADERS" ( thank you very much TRO! It woiked for me!)
Ibought RDN at market open and then placed a sell at 2% and it hit and sold 24 min. later!
So, do I have to wait for my funds to be available until Thursday? Or can I use them now?
One thing I found with Scottrade is I had to wait until I owned the stock before I could place my sell stop. Is that common ? If so how can I set it up the night before and not have to be there after the market opens to set my sell stop?
Also, how do I get to trade cheaper then a $14 round trip?
Thanks to all who respond.
StJoe

No worries...
It's an awesome filter. I wish I loaded up on a 3-4 positions prior open today.

RUMP
I was wondering if you would mind altering your filter so as to screen for volitile stocks that swing 1 to 5 percent
up AND down from monday's open on any given week.....then one could take a position either short or long based
on trend direction. May not get many statistically appealing returns, but........
Thanks in advance......DCS
