what I meant was if you sell stocks leaving the list, you use the sales proceeds to buy equal dollars of the things on the list with that new money, even if you already own some of them.

Ah, that is interesting. That would have you moving to a larger and larger allocation to the stocks that stayed on the screen a long time. Even if they cut barely made the cutoff while the new stocks were ranked higher. Sounds risky. If the same stock stayed on the screen for a year or two it would be near 100% of the portfolio. Also, I don't know how yuo could backtest this. GTR1 doesn't have that option.
