[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Counter-trend Exploration

Hello again,

I have been working with this formula for a few weeks now and it 
seems to throw up too many results when the exploration is run (only 
70-75% of securities are rejected).  Would you be able to test the 
logic below and see if it is all right?  The only anomaly I can find 
is that in line two of the code Day One should read Day Two, but I 
don't think that this would necessarily affect the formula's 
performance.

Perhaps once could insert an extra filter in the code (highlighted IN 
BOLD) when qualifying securities using this exploration to tighten up 
the results - however I am unsure as to how to do this, i.e, 

Day 2: The market retests the Day 1 low not less than eight trading 
days later.  A retest occurs when either: 

a) Day 2 makes a low that is lower than
or equal to the Day 1 low; or
 
b) the Day 2 low is below the Day 1 close (AND ALSO BELOW THE LOW OF 
THE DAY AFTER DAY 1).


Warm regards,

Tony.
