Bull Spike Scan back test

Post by Cobra »

The scan is to find bull spikes which could mean a start of a series of push up.

So the idea is to long with half of the intended capital as soon as the spike was detected, stop loss is below the spike start point, target 1x of the stop loss size (to be revised based on the back test I'm doing in the followed back test). The other half is to buy H1 or H2 or whatever Hx should a pullback happened right after the spike. The stop loss and the target are to be determined based on the back test I'm doing in the followed back test.

The arrow pointed to the bar when the scan found the stock.

===============================================================================
NEW ENTRY RULE STARTS HERE as apparently long on spike close with stop loss below the spike start point was too much risk.


GFI found on Aug 20, 2015. Not qualified for a long.

ABEO, CBD, SYN, TMO, UAA found on July 13, 2015. Only TMO was qualified for a long setup.

CBD reminds me that above EMA20 should be added into the scan condition because even it's a trading reversal setup the initial rebound better break above the ema20 otherwise chances are it's just a rebound not a reversal.

TMO long on H2 at 135.19, stop loss 133.69, 1x target 136.69, 2x target 138.19, 3x target 139.69. The July 22 high was at 139.87.

Let's see whether HIBB would make money in the coming days. It's bull spike and the long should be triggered today in theory... I'm not sure because it's a black bar today which sometimes is a sign of reversal.

assume entry 25.50 (open price today assume buy stop was placed last Friday and didn't do anything today so filled right at open, stop at 24.05, so 1x target 26.95, 2x target 28.40, 3x target 29.85.

ATEN found on Aug 3, 2015. I think it's not qualified for a buy because the pullback after the spike was too large. Ideally I want to see narrow range red bar so that I know bears are weak.
