Combining indicators continued

I am an X computer geek and I like rules.  You cannot write a computer program without rules.  Some stock systems allow you to implement trading rules....  If you have access to such a system then maybe you can use a rules based system real time.

I promised to show you the stock I used in last night's discussion of CCI/MFI combination.  Here it is:


If you examine the chart I think you will see this system would have captured a lot of the upsides (green horizontal lines) and avoided most of the dips (red horizontal lines).  I tried to test this on several stocks or ETFs.  How would it have worked on a bear ETF the past few months.  See for yourself:

Any help you can offer in testing this is much appreciated.  Also, if you have "rules" based systems you feel work please share.

GL traders.

  1. I will use these and report on how I do. Haven't found any yet that meet the criteria...I'll keep looking. I have a couple that I keep watch waiting to buy and I'll see how these techs work.

    Thanks. An idea in progress, may need fine tuning or we may discover it is not good for all environments. You guys can help decide if it is a worth while effort or not.

    I'll take a look at AZO.

  5. Thanks!!! I also found 3 more that could potentially make the buy signal criteria: ENTR (Earnings next Tuesday), PNRA (food prices?), URBN (cotton?)
