Why screen this way?
The biggest risk in a long-term holding is "the company goes bad." EPS≥90 confirms earnings growth is real and sustained — beating 90% of the market is what makes a long hold worthwhile. A/D≥A- means institutions have been steadily accumulating over the past 13 weeks — institutional conviction in the fundamentals means shallower pullbacks that are harder to break down. SMR=A means revenue growth, gross margin, and ROE are all top-tier at once, confirming the company isn't a one-trick pony. ROE comes from the W. O'Neil list and represents return on shareholder equity. What these three conditions add up to: even if you're asleep, the stock won't collapse.

Why is RS the core metric?
Swing trading (holding for weeks to 3 months) doesn't ask whether a company is good — it asks "which horse is fastest right now." RS≥92 means the stock's price performance over the past 12 months has beaten 92% of the market. When the market rallies, the highest-RS stocks rally fastest and hardest; when the market pulls back, high-RS stocks also bounce back fastest. Near-breakout names (like AAPL's Stage 2 Consolidation) are entry signals for momentum ignition — even if RS isn't top-tier, the right timing is the best entry point. The key difference from long-term investing: you don't need to dig for hidden treasure, you just need to be riding the fastest horse.

Why is "distance off the high" the core metric?
The biggest risk in selling puts is "getting assigned and stuck." Off high <15% means the stock is still in a position of strength with structural support below — even if assigned, you're not catching a falling knife in a downtrend. Selling puts on a stock that's -30% or more off its high means, once assigned, unrealized losses can easily eat up months of premium. SMR=A is the insurance policy for "even if assigned, no worries": a company with SMR=A can be rolled into a covered call for continued income after assignment; SMR=C/D after assignment is a hot potato. ROE comes from the W. O'Neil list and represents how efficiently the company returns capital to shareholders — the confidence to keep holding after assignment. What the two conditions together mean: a safe position (hard to break down) + reliable quality (no fear of holding after assignment).

📌 Why can the same stock appear in multiple categories?

The three strategy categories measure different core dimensions — a truly strong name will often satisfy several at once. The more categories a name shows up in, the higher priority it deserves for research.

Stock	Categories	Reason
AMD	Long-Term + Swing	EPS 95 + A/D A+ (long-term); RS 98 momentum also top-tier (swing)
MRVL	Long-Term + Swing + Options	Fundamentals, momentum, and positioning all hit — a rare all-rounder
SIMO	Swing + Options	RS 99, strongest momentum; but EPS 87 misses the long-term EPS≥90 threshold
CRDO	Swing + Options	RS 95, off high -0.25% (best positioning); EPS 84 misses the long-term threshold
FTNT	Long-Term + Options	EPS 95 + A/D A+ (long-term fundamentals); -0.19% off high (excellent positioning)

⚠️ Categories are a decision-support framework, not a trading signal. Before entry, still run the name through the "Four-Layer Defensive Screen for Options" to confirm volatility and technicals.
