Subject: Re: A similar screen
I could see another interesting variation to test. First the top 25 or 33 stocks from one screen and then the top 5 or 10 from those by the other screen.

No joy. There must be so much overlap that it does not matter. Both variations pick almost the exact same stocks.
This was no HTD and no timing.
