 Can someone point me to a filter that the primary decision point is on a change in direction of COG?
 
 COG appears to be an almost perfect pivot point tool.  If I am wrong about this please educate me.
 
 I have spent hours looking at filters containing COG, but they all seem to be a small component of filters that are looking for bottom bouncer or short filters.
 
 Can anyone suggest the text for such a filter?
 
 Thanks Mike

 I have had cog(5,2) on my charts in the past. Seemed like a good indicator to me.
 I guess you could just ask for "cog(5,2)  1 day ago is below cog(5,2)"
 The filter above highligts POT a while back and looks to anticipate cog(5,2) turning
 using a divergence between "it" and williams %r(2) ( which usually changes direction
 before rsi(2).
 What I dont get about the filter above is that it does not seem to AND the requirement williams %r(2) below -85.
 
 This seems to cause many crossses/spikes above .5 that I dont want.....
 
 Good topic ......I hope others take a look at cog(5,2) and comment or build a filter to your liking.

 Thanks FourtyFour:
 
 Here is what I came up with.  Two filters, one looking for reversals from tops and the second for bottom bouncers.
 
 They are very rudimentary at this point in time but I am starting to get a couple of returns that interest me.
 
 Any suggestions or additions to this are welcome.  The backtesting on this was 46/54. Not very good.
 
 Filter Name:   COG Bottom Bounce
 r[COG(9) had been decreasing for 10 days 1 days ago and COG(9) has been increasing for 2 days]
 close above close 2 days ago
 show stocks where the MACD Fast Line(12,26) 0 days ago crossed above the MACD Slow Line(12,26) 0 days ago
