That is the basic filtering idea, but its going to take some time to figure
out using some kind of bar pattern with few bars, perhaps something from a
Drummond technique or Candlestick technique, or polarized fractal efficiency
technique, or as another oddballer is using, a trend confirmation with a
volume advance decline line.  The cost in code efficiency goes up like the
cost of buying a better high fidelity system in order to get a little better
improvement.
