I have a question to make sure I understand the method for this correctly. My example is ARO:
On 10/31 it closed at $24.21 and on 11/03 it opened at $24.18 and I got in at that price....
Its high on 11/03 was $25.16 which would have been almost a 4% gain (I got out at $25)...
On 11/04 it closed at $23.76 (below its 10/31 close)....
If I understand correctly, I shouldn't try to enter this a second time...
Am I understanding this method right? Or could it be OK to try it again if it gets to the 11/03 open again this week?
Thanks for any advice.................Frank (Love your stats Avery)

This is a ONE TRADE PER STOCK PER WEEK SYSTEM.

It seems to me that profits can be maximized (especially after a generally down day like today) by looking for stocks that were high on the weekend slow cooker list and that have not gone up 1% from the open today and closed considerably down. For example, every week out of the past 52 weeks RAS has closed on Friday up at least one percent from the open on Monday. Today, RAS opened at 3.15 (and it only needs to get to 3.18 to make 1%) but it never went over 3.15 and it closed at 2.43 (22.86% down). This means that chances are, RAS will still end up getting to over 1% above where it opened this morning. So if you bought it at 2.43 and held it to 3.18 (1% over the open today), that would be a massive gain! Even if you wanted to buy it at 2.43 and be "conservative" and assume it will at least get back to the open this morning, you would make 22.86%... has anyone thought about this idea? And is there any filter for returning such stocks so that we could see where the largest potential gains are after Monday? I am fairly new, so I don't want to "reinvent the wheel" so to speak, but if others think it would be useful, and nothing like it exists yet, I will certainly work on creating a filter for us.

ddavid, seems to me that the BEST filter for utilizing TRO's fine filters is the broad market direction. When in a long term uptrend focus primarily on trading stocks from the long side. Hence, you use the long version of "Slow Cookers". Vice versa for a long term downtrend.

I am not looking to determine if I should be long or short in this market... I am looking to build upon these filters to make them helpful for other days (after Monday)... so that profits could be maximized further for those stocks that fit my specifications (having not breached the up 1% from the open point) and for which you can now buy at an even cheaper price than at the open on Monday...

I have been reading the StockFetcher tutorial for filters, and it has confirmed what someone from the stockfetcher support group has told me, which is that the count function does NOT support week counts, just day counts...
Therefore statements like this:
count(Long_Profit > .04 , 52)
are actually counting the number of times that the Long_Profit has been over 4% for the past 52 DAYS not weeks... so doesn't this ruin the theory behind this filter?
When I asked the support team how to create a filter such as what you are trying to do in this forum, the response was "Unfortunately, the feature you are looking for is not possible at this time. The "count()" function currently does not support weekly measures, it is based on days only at this time." ... So it seems that what you are trying to do with slow cookers cannot be done in stockfetcher at this time.
