OTCBBs have little to no connection to the NASDAQ market since they have no institutional involvement. I can see what you mean by having control. These 10C stocks could easily be moved by a few individuals with some copitol.
It would seem that screens may not be the critical factor here.
Trading on an ECN as I do there is no access to OTCBB stocks. I'm not much for them anyhow.
Friday I picked up MWAV. It tested the 15 HR.MA with +xover and started to bounce but ended up violating that support. It tested the 25HR.MA with +xover and this morning bounced up off that support and gained 26%. But now I had only one trade left and if it was necessary to close it today I would get penalized and kept out of the market for a week so i passed it up.

MFCO...Testing the 25 HR.MA. @ $2.60 as support and is oversold on Hourly chart. Looks good. Little selling volume and ample upside potential left on the daily stochastic indicator.

I love using trendlines. The chart of every stock that I own has a trendline or two I have drawn on it, plus the EMA13 and 20 locked in. The support lines provide an added bit of information, and inspire confidence when they are respected and concern when they are violated. What I find fascinating about your recent posts on filter-based picks with green entry-signal, wallman, is that your filters seem to have a way of either finding stocks at fundamental support levels or at key psychological reversal points that are not readily discernable through TLs or common MA's.
Many of the returns from your "box" filters for instance find stocks that have pulled back from a recent new high and then when consolidation is "sufficient" (which may or may not have any relation to a TL or MA), the bounce occurs. But while my trendlines may not contribute much in some of these cases, the practice of waiting for "green" to hold almost always does.
Thanks for your filters and the picks that you post from time to time on this thread. Your box filter, which I ran on Monday, gave me HAUP. I got in Monday on green that held. Today it popped for over 25%. In yesterday at 5.41, out near eod today at 6.85. Indebted to you and your filters.

Box filters also validate trendlines and stochastics. HAUP was a classic example. The application is most easily seen on the hourly chart.
On 3/22 stochastics +xover at about 11:30 AM then there is a break of TL Resistance at about 1:30PM @ ~ $5.41 and finally a test of the 25 HR.MA. at $5.24 about 4:00 PM where it bounced.
Judging from the way you played the stock you probably saw this also.
Very nice work.

Zub:
I use the 15 min chart setting routinely, and saw the stoch cross with HAUP at 10:45AM on the 22nd. Just after that I got in. And you are correct, it coincided with a bounce off the support line that I had drawn at around 5.30. Upon closer examination of my entry I see that I jumped the gun on the "turning green" cue, as I sometimes do when there is a good recovery from the day's low (tail formation) and the stochs support an entry.

MFCO was a very nice trade today. Bouncing up off the 50 HR.MA on the Hourly chart and topping out almost perfectly at Trendline Resistance on the Daily chart.
Wouldn't mind a few more of these. This one came off a RSI 75 ~ 90 screen then screened out by hand.
I have been using this one along with 'stocks near their 20 day highs' screen with the best success during this NASDAQ Monthly chart distribution phase. These help to find where the money is going in a declining market.
Also CCUR tested an 18 Month Supporting Trendline yesterday @ $3 ( and bounced a tad higher ) as expected and in perfect concert with the NASDAQs test of its 200 DMA.

as it turned out I didn't fare very well on MFCO. I watch the market every morning, usually all morning, but my youngest son caused some trouble at school that I had to deal with today. I stopped in at my wife's business and loaded up the RT charts while I was waiting and saw MFCO had broken out. Since they didn't have the correct Java plug in I had to run into town and load my trading platform into a computer at a cyber cafe. Hated to do it but glad I did ( so far ). I watched it tank from $3.35 as the software loaded up and by the time it was ready there was only an 11% gain left for me out of a possible 26%. Its always something.
MDDM closed todays session just below TL resistance at $2.77 & stochastics are rising. Looks interesting.
ITRA has a very interesting chart. It looks like it can be traded on every cycle bottom on the 30 Min. chart as long as daily chart stochastics are in accumulation. Its approaching resistance right now but put it on a watch list.
DJT came up on several different screens today and i think bears watching.
