Kevin,
I was playing around with the TOS back testing feature with some of the results you guys have been having. There's some interesting ratio spread possibilites. I'm trying to workout how to filter your watchlists for optionable stocks. It's got me going in circles. I keep getting zero results.
Here's my filter:
Close is above 5
and stock is optionable
and apply to watchlist (IBD1,IBD2,IBD3)
and draw RSI(2)
I'd appreciate help from anyone really.
All the best,
mike

I get 251 stocks as a result. Are you SURE you have made the IBD1,IBD2, and IBD3 watchlists? No watchlists would explain the lack of results.
In case you are interested here are the first 200 optionable stocks from those lists:
AAPL ABAX ABV ACTG ACTU ADS ADVS AEA AES AFL AGN AIRM ALXN AMED AMSC AMX ANEN ANSS APKT ARO ARRS ASIA ASPM ATHN ATW AYR AZZ BAP BBD BCRX BEC BIDU BIOS BJRI BKI BMC BR BRLI BUCY BWLD BYI CA CAM CCE CCJ CEA CERN CFSG CHKP CHS CHSI CIB CISG CMG CNQR CPA CPLA CRAY CREE CRI CRM CSC CTB CTCM CTRN CTRP CTSH CTXS CVLT CXO CYBS CYD DBRN DFG DIN DISCA DLLR DLM DLR DLTR DRC DTG DVR DXCM EBS EDU EEFT EJ ENDP EPAY EPB EQIX ESLT EXPE FDS FFH FFIV FIS FISV FLS FTI FUQI G GCA GES GET GFA GIB GIVN GMCR GOL GOOG GPS GTLS GTS GYMB HDB HGSI HMIN HMSY HPQ IBM IBN ICON IMA INFA INFY ININ INT ISRG ITWO JCG JOSB JOYG KBR KCI KONG KSS LFT LKQX LPS LTM LULU LZ MA MANT MDAS MDRX MED MELI MFE MHS MR MSTR NCMI NEOG NETL NEU NFLX NICE NILE NITE NRG NTES NUS NWS ODSY OFG OII ORCL PCLN PETS PHH PKX PL PRAA PRX PSSI PTI PVH PWRD QGEN QSFT QSII RADS RBI RGR RHT RIMM RKT RMD RNOW ROST RY SBUX SEPR SFG SGP SHOO SIRO
Make this a new watchlist (maybe called "IBD optionable 1") and use it.
Remaining 51 stocks:
SLH SMP SMRT SNDA SNX SSRX STAR STEC SWKS SY SYNT TDC TDG TECD TEN THC TIN TJX TLEO TNS TPX TRLG TSL TSRA TTEC TUP UHS ULTA ULTI UNM URBN V VIP VMI VPRT VRX WBD WBMD WCRX WDC WIT WLT WMS WNS WRC WRLD WX WXS WYN WYNN ZUMZ
Make this a new watchlist as well (maybe called "IBD optionable 2") and use it.

It is interesting idea that requires more studying. Playing with options using the bollinger band strategy. Sell on the money Puts. The premium will be high since the stock is in in pull back. Worst case; the option is exercised and you buy the stock which you were already going to buy.
Kevin: I understand you stopped buying new stocks using the strategy? or you just waiting for the market to move up again then continue your strategy? are you still updating your stocks according to their ratings?

Kevin,
Thanks for the help!
Unfortuantely, I still don't get any hits! Maybe it has something to do with the way I setup my watchlists? I don't know. I tried both watchlist options:Portfolio and Advanced Filter Matching. No change. I then tried the filter on two different browzers: Firefox and Internet Explorer. Same results, nothing.
I wonder if it might have something to do with the fact that my subsciption is at the Standard level?
I don't get it. It's got to be something real simple. I'll fool around with it some more and try to get a hold of someone at StockFetcher.
I really appreciate your efforts.
Cheers,
mike

My subscription is at the standard level - that can't be it.
Make sure that you are referring to them correctly typos would cause that problem as well. If you have created a new watchlist set using the stocks I found to be optionable, and gave it another name, use that name and not IBD1, ...
Also run a debug on your filter if you are not using the one I posted (which seems to work right now).

Yeah, I came to a crossroads (cashwise) about two weeks ago - the system required me to commit to another 12 stocks at $1000 per stock, with about $25K already in the system at that time. I was growing concerned that I had too much long exposure going into October. Also, the yield to date at that time was weak - about 1-2% after six weeks, nothing to write home about, but it has rebounded since then.
This approach is playing out exactly as it had backtested - so far it is 11 for 11 on profitable trades, averaging 14.8% per trade. This is better than historical results of 80.1% wins and 9.25% yield per trade (backtested on 1020 completed trades from 2005 through August of this year) but the at only 11 trades the current sample size is too small to make a statistically valid comparison just yet.
However, there are many ways to invest/trade, and I am interested in looking at other strategies as well (see my 5% a week filter thread as an example).
To answer your second question, I am not updating the list currently, because these really shouldn't have dropped too much given the continued rally - the only component that may have shifted is their acc/dist rating, (and in the case of ACOR any momentum rating has been thrown about quite a bit).

Kevin,
I figured it out. It works as advertised now. The fix was so simple, I'm embarrassed to say. Let's say operator error. I wasn't inputting the the symbols properly.
Thanks again,
mike
