  I made some tweaks to further narrow down the choices to remove stocks that dont have momentum in days prior to open on Monday. I think the results are great, take a look. Sort by performance and not reward.

  Do you recommend buying on Friday or Monday at the open with this filter?

  The rules are to run scan over weekend and buy Monday at open. I am going to paper trade this for a few weeks. I want to see if I can further weed out the bad ones based on Premarket activity and maybe waiting 7-10 minutes after open to see which direction its going. These things are going to be tested to see if I can find better trading.

  Kevin,
 
 So on Monday we would buy DELT and/or BLPH (since the risk and reward score are the same) and then sell when it reached 5% of 1.43 DELT     and/or 1.40 (BLPH)?

  selfhigh, i think you hit the nail on the head.  If you back test it a bit, it appears that if it is not an ETF and comes out of the gate on Monday with pretty good traction, you have a nice 5 day swing trade.  I will be watching EYEG, ESPR and AAOI Monday at the open.

  Hey, pthomas215, I like your from 01/31/2017. Been looking at it for a few weeks and had some solid returns on a few choices. The stocks that have dropped have done so pretty slowly so it's easy to cut a position with a 5% loss. I still need to nail down exactly how to pick the proper stocks but no system will ever give you 100% so I guess that no matter how high you try you'll always get a few losers here and there. Let us know how this new one compares to yours

  T_Charp, Im glad it is useful to you and hope you are making some $.  I think Kevin created it initially and I just tweaked it a bit.  On that one, I try to enter when the price just rises above the d1 line...exit when you are not content with price movement in relation to the EMA(13) and MA(20). That is what I do anyways. I will have to test this new one this week.

  Oh, why is AAOI's performance 0? Seems like it's not "reward - risk" which I thought was the norm

  well, once they come up in the filter I rely more on what they look like on paper. AAOI looks overbought to me (price outside the upper BB recently), and I would expect to see some profit taking this week.  I might be wrong, but i would look deeper into charting tools, Out of the 3, I would probably argue that EYEG and ESPR look better for the week, but lets see what happens on Monday at the open.
