This strategy blends Piotroski F-Score fundamentals with short-term price reversal. Each month it buys the worst-performing stock among those with strong F-Scores and optionally shorts the best performer with weak F-Scores. The premise is that fundamentally sound firms snap back after temporary declines while weak firms revert after rallies.
On the first trading day of the month the algorithm ranks the universe by one-month return. It goes long the lowest-returning security with
