I get a lower CAGR for 5 stocks: S&P500 Top 80 by (6m price change % + (0.5 × 12m price change %)) then ? SMA30/180 Top 50 then? ADV200 Top 5

Hmmm.
I did a few tweaks and added a HTD, reset the start to 2/1/85 so it's the same as the Nas100 dates. No timing.
Averages: 19.0% CAGR, 33.3% GSD(252), -77% MaxDD
S&P 500 (VFINX) same period -- 10.8% CAGR

That last step "step4: [Average dollar-volume over 200 days; lag=1 days] Top 5" seems odd. Why this? Not quite sure where you could easily find this, as most data sites seem to have just the 10 or 20 day Average Volume. FWIW, chopping this to 20 days bumps the CAGR to 19.6%. Changing it to "[Average g-volume over 20 days; lag=1 days] Top 5" drops the CAGR to 17.0%

The top picks on 2025-11-28. A lot of the same names as the Nas100 RS-52wk screen.

Sp500	Nas100
NVDA	PLTR
AAPL	AVGO
PLTR	WBD
AMD	MU
GOOGL	LRCX
AVGO	GOOGL
GOOG	GOOG
HOOD	APP
LLY	KLAC
MU	IDXX
APP	ASML
INTC	AMD
AMAT	INTC
GE	GILD
LRCX	CEG
CAT	AMAT

Q: Is there any reason to run this considering that the NAS100 screen(s) are about 10 points better?
