    you have been asking similar questions for 12mths or so
    re finding your holy grail of oscillators

    what you need to do for starters is find software that will backtest your combinations of favourite oscillators..

    Try stockscreen filters at http://www.incrediblecharts.com

    or here http://www.spacejock.com/FreechartsSE.html
    to "trial" the stock screening of FCharts Pro...

    what software are you using...

    Back testing and Optimization are great tools when used correctly. When used incorrectly, all they do is cost you money. Unfortunately, most traders don't back test... they "back-fit."

    In trading, one size does not fit all. You should trade one way in a Bull Market, another way in a Bear Market, and another way in flat and choppy markets.

    Running optimization on a large sample of data in order to find an optimal solution for all market conditions is an exercise in futility. Testing a trading strategy on the same sample of data you used to optimize that strategy is nothing short of self-delusion.
    So a further hint others have already mentioned to you is eyeballing the selected charts for trends and chart patterns.

    a bit busy to chat now...goodluck..
    PS take your question to the HC newbies forum
    Or Incredible charts forum...
    cheers
