Subject: Re: new dervied Nasdaq100 weekly strategy
Thanks for posting another interesting screen with suggestions (weekly trading, short-term momentum reversal). The OP screen looks for stocks:

Large Cap Growth (Nasdaq 100)
high 1-year momentum
low 1-week momentum (short-term momentum reversal)
weekly trading

The short-term momentum reversal steps (steps 2 and 3) reduce CAGR, Beta, drawdown, and depth, while more than doubling the number of trades (AT). (Depth is the average count of stocks passing the final step.)

I prefer the version with higher CAGR and less trading. Low Beta would help when blending with other screens, but this screen's CAGR is so high that I prefer to just evaluate it on its own.
