A24all:
I'll try my best to help you. Still learning myself.
Sign in, go to top where it says monitor/trade/analyze/scan/marketwatch/charts/tools/help
Click on CHARTS
Type a symbol in where it reads symbol,(4th line down from top), on same line and to the right you could change the time frames.
On the left of the chart you will see,Quote at the top of the center collumn and going down you wil then find headings such as cndle patterns,tech. studies,breakout studies,scroll down in those ares and you will find techs such as MA WITH BREAKOUT SIGNALS.
Click and hold on MA WITH BREAKOUT SIGNALS, you should be able to drag it onto the chart.
Try it,
Gabe
AFTER YOU HOVER OVER CHARTS THEN CLICK ON PROHPET

In on RADS at $10.50 (limit order to catch a lower price - the ask was $11.22, so there was no way I was going to fill the order at market if I could avoid it!!). It opened at 10.62.
In on TAST at $7.44 (market).

This BB trading strategy focuses on temporary weakness and is impressive with its annualized returns.
Another approach that can be just as good or even better is to focus on strength rather than weakness.
For example here is a simple approach that has a very strong performance:

Agreed. I quickly backtested your filter using a 20% profit stop (no trailing stop or stop loss). Annualized return was 133% for the last four months (6/5 through the open today).
Same timeframe and exit criteria for the BB strategy gave an annualized return of 233%. But both strategies yielded about the same equity summary - ~$24,000 in profit for the period, before commissions.

About time. Up 4.82% today, but still down slightly over 12% from my entry price. Patience is a virtue, I guess.
