  My attempt at a filter based on price and volume.  I have used OBV(30) and compared it to Shares Outstanding.  The buy signal is a new 55 day high and the sell signal is a new 13 day low.  This is intended to be a long term filter.  I made .75 the cut off point for "turn" but that can be changed easily.  I then go to Yahoo to check out Float.  Four stocks have extremely high %short.  They are LEND @ 73%, DNDN @ 50%, FED @ 57% and OVTI @ 38%.  A lot in the 20%'s.  Anyway I am still tweaking this effort.
 
  	    
 
 55mult is how many new 55 day highs have occurred in the last 60 days and 55/2day is a new 55 day high today.  I have only used price and volume to find stocks and use MACD and ADX as guides.  I think this is about as close as I can come to float turn until SF makes Float available.

  Added an ATR(20) breakout to the filter.  When the close today is .80 greater than the close yesterday it signals a possible buy.  Look at stocks where there is an ATR(20) breakout right after a 13 day low is hit.  A 13 day low is a signal to exit in this filter.  Very interesting.  Anyway I think this gives another confirmation to a buy signal.  I added moving averages of 4 day, 9 day, and 18 day.  A buy signal would also have the 4 and 9 day moving averages above the 18.

  Added lines for "turn" and "risk%".  Also added Money Management.  Bought FSLR based on yesterday's scan.  Bought the amount recom'd by the scan.  Still tweaking.

  Added risk20, risk60 and risk180.  To find a new trend look for risk20 to be below risk60 and risk180, sometimes only below risk60 does it.  For a trend already in motion look for turnval to cross above riskval above 75.  At least it looks that way to me.  See what you think.  I keep getting more ideas and keep tweaking.

  Still tweaking.  Look at what happens when turnval is at 100 and riskval is at 0.
 I am looking at PWEI and CHRD.  Added ADVal as confirmation.

  This is very interesting.  
 
 Thanks for sharing your efforts - there are some rather clever ideas embedded in this filter (some above my head ;-).  I'm going to check the results the next couple of weeks; if some lightning strikes I'll be sure to share as well.

  Bought CHRD at the filter price and quantity.  73 shares @ 15.36.  FSLR doing fine.  Bought SPWR 13 shares @ 78.86. last week.  All for now.

  "Bought SPWR 13 shares @ 78.86"
 
 How much do you realistically expect to make from 13 shares? I wouldn't exactly call this a proper money management, however correct it may be in theory. If you take commission into the equation, you'd know that you're in a sinking boat.
