  Hi,
 
 I am trying to create a filter that will give me stocks for which:
 
 MACD Histogram is 0 (or approaching 0 from above) and Slow Stochastic(14,3) %K is 75 (or approaching 75 from above)
 
 thanks,
 P

  How would you add a falling ADX requirement to the MACD and slow stochastic screening profile above? 
 
 The ADX is part of the DMI+ DMI-, with the ADX falling when a strong uptrend is not present, and rising when a strong underlying trend is present. Over-bought and over-sold indicators have a much higher degree of success when the ADX is falling versus results when the ADX is rising.

  Thanks.
 
 Has anyone figured out the best way to back-test screening filters to see which work the best? I did a lot of back-testing with the OmniTrader software years ago, but I no longer have access to such a set-up.
 
 Might be interesting to run some tests to find the best combination.

  Thanks xplorer!
 
 This filter works well for the short term. One will have to look at the fast stochastics too. 
 How about: Buying when fast stochastic %K reaches 50 from the bottom and holding untill slow stochastic %K shows a clear decline. Likewise, sell when fast stochastic %K reaches 50 from top and hold untill slow stochastic %K shows a clear increase.

  wildmap,
 
 I read in a thread here yesterday a link to "Geodepe's Stock Filter Analysis" web page, at https://www.ipropel.com:8443/stocks/direct.jsp .  I've tried to run a filter or two through it, but it doesn't seem to return results.  That may be because I'm not being patient enough, though.  I'm running one today that I plan on letting run all day, if necessary.  The site DOES show some results for "public" filters...
 
 HTH,
 
 C
