This is JH’s personal screening workflow, running wide open for anyone who wants to peek. It might suit how you trade. It might not. Either way: no promises, no advice — just one person’s rules, turned into code.

How 20 became 9
55% cut
One strike and you’re out — each gate is a hard no, not a point score, and a name that fails early never even sees the gates after it. Nothing here is a rejection, either: most of what gets cut just needs a better day.

Each cluster below is one bet wearing several tickers, not several independent ones — they tend to fall together, so holding three from one group is closer to one bigger position than three small ones. How much of any of it to hold, if any, is entirely on you; this page only screens, it does not size. And a card wearing a red flag gets a second look before you touch it — it may not mean what it looks like at a glance. And clearing every gate is not a summons to trade — most days the smart move is to do nothing.
