We often have customers who create a strategy consisting of filters and alerts and then - not able to entirely trust how good Trade-Ideas is - will look for something expected as a "check" on our system.

Many get disappointed when they don't see something they think should be there.

If only they could remember the filters they chose - because TI never forgets them.

In your setup I see a couple of things that could block your view of KFY which you said, "gapping through and above the 50 dma on 12/6/07". Without looking up KFY's chart I can tell you that your filters are asking TI to only show you stocks that:

Gapped up at least 1% from yesterday's close - did KFY do this from 12/5/07? Was the amount greater than 0.99%? If the answer to any of these questions is no - you will not see KFY in TI's results. That's the beauty of TI - it will keep you away from the stocks who dont fit the pattern you're looking for.

I also see another filter that may keep KFY out. That's the Min Current or Relative Volume filter. You have it set to 1.2 which means, "show me only the stocks crossing the 50 day SMA that, at the time of the alert, are trading 20% higher than average for that time of day". If the stock crosses the 50 day SMA on anything less than 20% above average volume - you won't see KFY in TI's results.

No stock gets past the velvet rope and into the club that's your trading session without looking the way they should - i.e., according to your trading plan/strategy.

hope this helps
