The Perfect Speculator by Brad Koteshwar is a relatively unknown classic in speculation. There is a fictional character, Boyd Hunt, who was a master trader and he made a lot of money from the market. In the book, he said he only consider stocks of the following criteria:

1. The stock must have made an all-time high, not just 52-week high.
2. It must have made at least 20% in 4 weeks since the last breakout to the all-time high.
3. The price cannot fall back to the previous breakout level.
4. The 52-week high must be at least twice of the 52-week low.

Here is my attempt to implement it in StockFetcher

Fetcher[set{A001, Days(high reached a new 250 day high, 250)}
set{B001, close divided by Donchian Upper Band(250,1)}

I think your filter is too tight. I relaxed it a bit and find more winners.

Fetcher[set{A001, Donchian Upper Band(250,0) divided by Donchian Upper Band(250,25)}
set{A002, Days(A001 above 1.9,250)}

In this following version, I added an additional fundamental filter:

I think you both are making it more complicated than it should. It is better to write a simple filter to avoid filtering out good stocks. Here is my take:

Fetcher[close gained more than 100% in last 200 days
close 500 day high gained more than 20% in last 100 days
close crossed above Donchian Upper Band(20,5)
ROC(1,1) reached a new 10 day high
Volume reached a new 5 day high
market not OTCBB
chart-time 2 year
do not draw close 500 day high
do not draw close 20 day low
do not draw Donchian Upper Band(20,5)
do not draw ROC(1,1)
do not draw ROC(1,1) 2 week high
do not draw volume 1 week high
draw MA(50)
draw MA(200)]

Add a fundamental filter maybe?

It is a great filter for momentum traders.

I am wondering if the filter can be simplified like this:

Fetcher[market not OTCBB
market not ETF
high 500 day high divided by high 500 day high 20 days ago crossed above 1.09 in the last 100 days
high 250 day high divided by low 250 day low above 2
low 20 day low divided by high 500 day high above 0.7
MA(50) above MA(200)
Aroon Up(25) below 60
do not draw low 20 day low divided by high 500 day high
do not draw high 500 day high divided by high 500 day high 20 days ago
do not draw high 500 day high divided by high 500 day high 20 days ago line at 1.09
do not draw high 250 day high divided by low 250 day low
do not draw Aroon Up(25)
chart-time 2 year
chart-type OHLC]



Here is a modification that I like:

Fetcher[market not OTCBB
market not ETF
close 500 day high divided by close 500 day high 20 days ago crossed above 1.09 in the last 100 days
close 150 day high divided by close 150 day low above 2
