I have several different filters that rely only on moving averages - buy if it is above, sell if it is below. Daily and weekly variants, but I think you are more interested in the daily version:
Pivot Point-Based Filter:
You can also substitute above/below the PP moving average as well. A little less subject to whipsawing.
I have a similar filter that only uses VMA(10) as the trigger line - works pretty nicely as well.
Both of these would have kept me OUT of gold and silver, if I had bothered to respect what they were saying. As you can see, both GLD and SLV dropped below the trigger line on 4 Dec. My bad.

Karennma,
Be careful with YRCW! I spoke with one of their truck drivers yesterday; he does not think they will survive; going to BK. YRCW is having trouble with the bond holders converting to stock; similar to GM.
I am a lurker who enjoys your (and Kevin's) posts!
Mike

Ventura:
Thanks!
THIS IS EXACTLY why I HATE trading penny stocks.
I just like to look at charts. I know nothing about YRCW.
With pennies, you have to check the NEWS, to make sure they're not going BK.
Several months ago, I recommended STSA @ $1.23 as a SHORT. .. ONLY BECAUSE I knew they were going BK.
It's 0.60 now.
I normally don't trade pennies for that reason alone (possible BK).
