The method

Score = (126-day total return, skipping the most recent 5 days) ÷ (63-day annualised volatility). Skipping the last week avoids short-term reversal; dividing by volatility stops one hyper-volatile name from dominating the book. A name is only eligible if absolute momentum is positive and price is above its 100-day moving average — in a bear tape the screen goes to cash rather than buying the best-looking loser.

Position rules shipped with Pro: equal weight the top 5 at ~18% each, hard stop at −8% from entry, exit when a holding drops out of the top 15.
