G'day,
Below is some AFL code I've written to scan for stocks starting to meet the criteria as set out in Stan Weinstein's book 'The Secrets of Profiting in Bull or Bear Markets'.
To use it you must have your industries, sectors and indices set up correctly in Ami.
The code picks stocks to go long on - not stocks to short.
Also it picks stocks as they enter Stage 1 not as they enter Stage 2. So it's intended to create a watch list not to be a system. I've not included volume as a criteria - I need to understand how OBV works.
If you just want stocks as they enter Stage 2 the line marked /* Modify */ would need to be changed to
cond2 = close > ma(close,maLong) AND close > open;
maLong and maShort can be modified to suit. The lower the maShort value the more aggressive the Trade. maLong is probably best left at 150 - but could be changed according to the market being traded.
dollars is the size of the trade and is to ensure sufficient liquidity - this is a personal criteria.
Now I have a couple of questions to those interested.
1. This code checks that the stock is out performing its sector but does not check the sector is outperforming the market. Can AFL cater to this also ? If so how ?
2. If the exrem statement is uncommented less stocks are reported as buysthan with it removed. exrem appears to remove more than just duplicate buysignals. I'm obviously missing something.
3. How does on balance volume work ? I'd just like to add a check that white candle days are of higher volume than black candle days over the past week for example.
Any ideas appreciated,
Geoff
/* Stan Weinstein Buy Criteria - Afl implementation by Geoff Mulhall 18/4/2001 */
dollars = 5000;
maLong = 150;
maShort = 13;
maRelStr = 2;
/* sufficient liquidity ie share purchased less than 2% of weekly volume*/
cond1 = dollars/close < 0.02 * sum(volume,maLong)/(maLong/5);
/*close above MA and a Stage 4 stock */
cond2 = close > ma(close,maShort) AND close > open AND close < ma(close,maLong); /* Modify */
/* gradient of the moving average is increasing or has levelled */
cond3 = (ma(close,maShort) - ref(ma(close,maShort), -1)) >= 0;
/* beginning to trend over the last 2 days */
cond4 = low > ref(low,-1) AND ref(low,-1) >= ref(low,-2);
/* gradient of the relative strength is increasing */
cond5 = ma(relstrength(""),maRelStr) >= ref(ma(relstrength(""),maRelStr), -1 * maRelStr);
buy = cond1 AND cond2 AND cond3 AND cond4 AND cond5;
sell = 0;
/* buy = exrem(buy,sell); */
/* sell = exrem(sell,buy); */
