If buying momentum is your shtick, here's a little dance a now deceased
systems designer of some repute claimed to use successfully. Granted, it
was choreographed for commodity price action, but maybe it's worth a
shot. Surely, it's simple enough to code.
If all of the following conditions are met, buy on today's close:
1) Today's close must be greater than the close 20 market days ago.
2) Today's close must be greater than yesterday's high.
3) Today's low must be higher than yesterday's close.
4. Yesterday's low must be lower than the previous day's low.
