@Cheese,
This I believe is the proper relationship between K of G's original StrataSearch XIV long system 40 signals that he reduced to the best 30 before he started this thread on SF:
The first column is his org signal#s, the 2nd is the 30 signals #'s he posted in this thread:
1 1
3 2
4 3
5 4
6 5
7 6
8 7
9 8
10 9
11 10
12 11
13 12
15 13
16 14
17 15
18 16
19 17
20 18
23 19
25 20
27 21
28 22
30 23
31 24
32 25
33 26
34 27
35 28
38 29
40 30
I believe all of us posting nightly signals and Graftonian's SF filter conversions are using K of G's original numbering system primarily because the files he made available to us by emailing him, had that numbering system already applied to the signals, and its probably less confusing.
The StrataSearch sw has one of the best help files of any sw I've messed around with, easy to understand, 11 training videos that I haven't yet watched because the PDF copy of their help manual is so easy to search and find most of the answers to my questions within a minute or 2. Can't beat free capable system development/backtesting sw that almost teaches itself.
Hope this helps,
Ed S.

No problem as I kind of have a different view about answering questions about StrataSearch in this SF forum than K of G had.
a. Answered questions probably benefit more SF members than just the person who asked, in a lot of instances.
b. As more SF users become proficient in SS then maybe one or more will come up with other profitable systems that can be translated into SF filters for the rest of us.
c. Oftentimes, I find that researching a question, that I don't know the answer to, usually results in me learning either other capabilities of the SS sw that I didn't know; or reminds me of some that I knew but had gone way back to the bottom of my memory pile...and sometimes I even find the answer to the specific question.

In this article from Stuart, Barton makes an interesting case for using volatility, namely the VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX ST ETN (XIV) as a vehicle for stock replacement.

K of G indicates he got 5 new XIV Buy signals last night and is buying more today.
I have 6 new Buy signals, #31,33,34,35,38,and 40 and the same 5 Hold signals as I've had since last Thursday.
If anyone got just 5 Buy signals, based on yesterday's data and your signals normally track K of G's signals, since mine seem always to be 1 different, please post the 5 Buy signals you got.
Thanks,
Ed S.

Ed, thanks for keeping us updated. Something should be done about Shillihs. I don't know what his agenda is, but I have blocked him long time ago. K of G was such a big help to me and others. I only got 4 new signals (34, 35, 38,and 40) along with the 5 holds. Thanks.
Best regards,
Eugene

FOR 1/09, I DID NOT GET #40.
And speaking of #40, any ideas on to code (or approximate):
// StrataSearch Volatility - Low Stock (Supporting Entry)
(svi(close, 15, 180) < 11)

@graftonian,
This what I've determined so far regarding the svi for signal #40.
According to the SS PDF manual Peter Rast created it in 2001, and to my surprise Peter Rast is the SS developer.
I then looked at the old SS online Forum and I found the following 2 snipets that probably give us enough info to figure it out for SF:
"And I also use StrataSearch Volatility Index of maybe "svi(close, 10, 120)". This formula, by the way, identifies how many times a stock price has gone up and down 10% in the last 120 days."
"Let's assume I want to find out whether a strategy gives better results if I do not open positions when SPY has experiencied two or more price swings of more than 1 % in the last 5 days.
I've come up with something like this to add to my entry filter
SUM(ABS(((C - ref(C,-1))/ref(C,-1))*100 > 1),5) < 2
but how do I refer C to the close of SPY?

Re: Refer to SPY in formulas

I didn't verify your formula, but you can reference another symbol by using the symbol() formula. So your formula would look like this:
symbol(SPY, SUM(ABS(((C - ref(C,-1))/ref(C,-1))*100 > 1),5)) < 2
By you might also want to check out the StrataSearch Volatility Index, or svi(). This is a formula we added on our own, but it seems to match what you're looking for pretty closely. Your formula for the svi would be this:
svi(close, 1, 5) < 2
You can look up the StrataSearch Volatility Index in the help for more information.
Pete"
Hope this helps,
Ed S.
