four - why is the volume not a round number? just curious if you backtested it.

1. volume : honestly. the value is where my fingers "dropped on the keys". -- but i do look for more liquid stocks (nothing under 50,000)
2. backtest : by "eyeball". looked at entry. everyone seems to use a different stop/loss and profit goal.
this is not a system, it is a filter
HTH

This is actually why I posted the recent thread on system design. Not trying to be overly critical here, but this is just a filter, with no strategy for exit, no rationale inherent in its construction that I can see, and no backtest data to make me comfortable enough to try it.
OK, that did sound overly critical. Sorry. But the points are still valid. If this is of value to others (and I'm assuming it is or there would be no real reason the share it), help others understand WHY they should be interested.

For what it's worth, as with one's personal philosophy, approach to life, etc. I think each investor needs to develop their own system, using a filter they like as a starting point. Given this filter, I would test it using my trading style for 4 to 6 weeks (especially in this market), adjusting the parameters of the filter and the way in which I played it to see if it can fit into my in-at-open Monday, out-no-later-than Friday-close with a 5% stop-loss trading style.
I've tried out more than 300 filters from this site in the last 2 years, some with great success (and considerable profit), some with horrifying results (and - thanks to a 5% stop-loss - acceptable losses).
I'm always grateful when someone takes the time and trouble to post a new filter, or an entire system, for experimentation.

jimvin and kevin,
You both made your individual point eloquently. No sarcasm.
Just noticing your noticings and noticing your wonderings.
thank you
