Ran Stock Fetcher Aug 14, 8amCT and got 7 Rockets.
SlotMonkley got 17 Longs!

Reason for discrepancy? Thanks!

It returned 16 longs just now with one day offset.

It looks like these picks are produced with a few different filters. One looks like RSI falling below 30, one momentum, and one a decrease in volatility. Just guessing here.

What are your filter parameters?

Good catch, guys. I re-examined the code and found the long filter was missing this line "and RSI(2) is below 20". The long filter for otcbb did have that line of code. And the short filter did have "and RSI(2) is above 90". On some days both versions will return the same stocks which is the case for tomorrow's three picks.

May I suggest running some backtest and see which version performs better. What'll be really cool is to see if you can play around with some of the parameters and come up with a better performing filter.

The code is here http://slotmarket.blogspot.com/2007/05/heres-stockfetcher.html
