 It was the question mark in one of your comment lines

 GRAF, you are certainly the guru of filters.  so i noticed that when tgwidth crosses above 0, that is when you see the largest escalation.  I went back and found a few that might cross monday or tuesday (BID, MDCO) but is there a way to write this into the SF filter?  I tried but got no results.  I hope I explained that ok.

 I modified the original filter to include the EMAs used by Daryl Guppy and added the days since investor group "flip".  I totaled IGX and TGX to come with squeeze, with zero being nirvana.
 On a side note, if one lets "squeeze" run out to 12 or so days, this starts to look like a short filter.

 Thanks for the compliment, but the real pros are guys like Kevin, TRO, et al , that have been at this a lot longer. But to your question,  try the filter in th nest post

 @Graftonian,
 
 Looking at the first filter results for Jan 5:
 
 My first pick would be SBLK as the numbers seem to show that both groups are aligned properly whereas they are not quite for UUUU.
 
 2nd pick CBAY due to closing higher on the 5th
 
 3rd pick HBM investor group spread stayed fairly constant during  recent large decline and trader group turning upward
 
 4th UUUU

 Ed S.
 I cannot agree with your ranking of the picks for Jan 5.  Perhaps it is my aversion to Gap-ups. The gap on CBAY was probably news driven, considering it is a pharma stock.  CBAY stopped out by noon of the 6th, but then so did UUUU.  BCEI, on the other hand went on to a nice profit.
 I've changed direction concerning entry times.  My current thinking is an 0845 buy if the price is above an ascending ema13 on the 15 minute chart; all other factors being "reasonable".
 I do not see anything promising for Monday morning,  but if had to choose, it would be COUP.  On Thursday I Got into (and out of) ZIOP with not much to show for my trouble; only another 3 day settlement period and beer money.
 Keep the critiques and the observations coming.
 Happy Easter,
 Duane
