  Four can you advise what your entry strategy is for these two filters?  I'm looking at the charts and not seeing it... its been a long week.
 
 draw ema(5) < ema(13) 
 draw ema(13) < ema(62) 
 
 close < ema(5) 
 close > open 
 open 1 day ago > close 1 day ago 
 low > 11 
 volume > 123123 
 add column annual dividend yield 
 ***************************************************************
 draw bollinger %B(125,0.1) cross below 10 
 
 draw bollinger %B(125,0.1) line at 5 
 draw bollinger %B(20,1) line at 0 
 
 sp500 
 
 draw bollinger %B(20,1) below 1

 From page 5 this is the /Short/ setup - why did you go long?

  "entry strategy"
 ---------------------------------
 Folks may not like my subjective answer...
 
 I trade small and with dividends:
 = Enter with a limit order a few cents under the price when I am in front of the filter and I am in the trading account.
 
 = If I enter an order that night= I just enter a stop-limit order at high + .01.
 
 Try for ~$50+ gain
 
 I trade small and no dividends:
 See above and I "scalp". I don't want to keep a stock without a dividend. So by "scalping" it is "like" collecting a dividend. Scalp means taking less than $30 ~usually.
 
 --------- Finally,
 -- I sometimes break the above "policies".
 -- A large regularly paying dividend stock may even find me averaging in on the up -OR- down side.
 -- Folks who read through my posts over the years will recognize my reluctance to take a loss. Thus I have graduated to taking small positions that don't hurt. And with a dividend I gain the ability to "average" down on the cost of the purchase.
 -- Rarely short and only if there is no dividend. Even though some filters include a short trigger.
 -- I try to keep learning and understanding. Thank you everyone!
 -- Hopefully a filter or two will help someone else. I try to give back.
 -- I "back-test" visually by clicking through StockFetcher. 
 
 hope this helps
