A mechanical trend following approach with stocks

Hi c.f.:

I am researching different stock market trend following systems.
I have yet to find any that are completely
mechanical with simple and easy to understand rules, for
learning purposes. I wonder if you could give me an example
of a system/strategy that would give me a base to work off,
similar to the turtle system you outline for futures. To
date, the only real trend following example I found is
William O'Neil's CANSLIM strategy, but, it is near
impossible to backtest for the simple reason that the system
uses a lot of proprietary fundamental data.

regards,

Not wishing to dissuade c.f. from replying as well you might look at:

where Charles LeBeau has his bulletins. You could do worse than try building a system where you looked for a breakout when the ADX got very low and then trailed it with the Chandelier exit. I tried these on stocks some years ago and they work quite well.
