Backtest studies, in plain English.

Buy when the 14 period Williams %R crosses above negative 80 while the close is above the 200 day simple moving average.

Buy when the close is within 5 percent of the lowest close of the trailing 252 trading days, and the 14 period RSI closes above 30 after being below 30 within the last 10 bars.

We want to trade price breakouts only when they are backed by unusually heavy volume, since breakouts on light volume tend to fail.

We want to catch new long-term uptrends the way the original Turtle traders did, using a long-horizon breakout.

We want to only buy pullbacks when the trend structure across three timeframes agrees, using stacked moving averages as the trend filter.

We want to catch short-term bounces in stocks that are still in a long-term uptrend, using the Stochastic oscillator to time the entry.

We want to catch the start of a new uptrend by watching for momentum to turn positive, using the MACD line crossing its own zero line rather than crossing its signal line.

We want to trade volatility-adjusted breakouts using Keltner Channels, which use average true range instead of standard deviation for the channel width.

We want to trade the classic inside bar pattern, a one-day consolidation that often precedes a continuation move.

We want to trade breakouts only when the market is actually trending, and skip breakouts that happen in a choppy, directionless tape.

Buy when the 20 day moving average crosses above the 50 day and the 14 period RSI is under 70.

We want to buy breakouts that come out of a tight three week consolidation, the classic William O'Neil "three weeks tight" pattern.

We want to buy controlled pullbacks to the twenty day moving average inside an established uptrend.

We want to buy breakouts that come out of volatility contractions, using the classic NR7 (narrowest range of seven days) pattern.

We want to enter on classic MACD bullish crossovers, but only when the broader trend is up.

We want to ride established uptrends in US large caps using the classic 50 over 200 day moving average crossover, often called the golden cross.

We want to fade panic gap-downs that happen inside an established uptrend, on the bet that they overreact and bounce within a few days.

We want to ride medium term momentum while avoiding short term reversals, using the classic "12 minus 1" momentum score from academic momentum research.

We want to ride momentum by buying breakouts above the prior twenty day high, the same idea behind the original Turtle traders.

We want to catch breakouts that come out of low volatility consolidations, the so called Bollinger Band squeeze.

We want to ride strength by buying when stocks make a fresh 52 week closing high.

We want to buy oversold pullbacks inside established uptrends and get out quickly if the trend breaks.
