Inspired by TRO's recent posts on Price Action State, the past few days I have been running a filter most nights to create a Watchlist of stocks to monitor their performance the next day.

The premise is to use Larry Williams Down Range Down Close condition and target the lower risk situation of High minus Open (as opposed to High minus Prior Close) to scalp 2 cents or more the next day.

a. So I run this filter the night before or before 9:50am of the trading day:

Fetcher[
set{var, high minus open} add column var draw var line at 0
price < 2
price > .50
volume > 100000
add column atr(5)
set{var1, high minus close 1 day ago} add column var1 draw var1 line at 0
add column atr(1)
add column atr(10) add column atr(20) add column atr(60)
draw atr(20) line at .10

high less than high 1 day ago
low less than low 1 day ago
close less than close 1 day ago

add column high add column close 1 day ago
]



b. then I save all of the result stocks to a watchlist I previously created, in this case (ThursdayNighMay1), and then I run this next filter periodically through the day to monitor positive price action:

Fetcher[
apply to watchlist(thursdaynightMay1)
add column high minus open add column high minus close 1 day ago
add column roc(1) add column high add column close 1 day ago
add column close minus close 1 day ago
]



c. Generally, I've found that a healthy majority of the stocks, on a given day, achieve a High price more than 1 cent above the Open.

d. My watchlist named ThursdaynightMay1 has 73 symbols for monitoring today. I've downloaded a CSV of yesterday's results and expect to post some stats later.
