  1. Here's my variant:

    1. Market cap > $10 million
    2. ROIC > 20%; and
    3. Debt /Equity Ratio < 50%
    4. Price < $10

    But it is again about backtesting functionality, it is impossible to test a strategy by only few setups, you need statistical result for 50-100 deals, so the thing that can help you here is a backtester tool, not a stock screener with an ability to screen stocks retroactively.

  3. ==========

    Cash;
    10 year,25 year candle chart , & for a quick read-Monthly candles;
    with a 12 peroid MA.[In this example =12 months=12 period moving average is quite helpful...]

    barchart.com
    workes well, free ;
    even though like IB charts , volume, can be inaccurate:D

    When it comes to fundamental data, this is not a safe assumption; Fundamental data are notoriously difficult to manage in terms of point-in-time vs revised; I don't think you can trust a free or low cost provider. There's a lot of man hour that goes into making these things right.

    I would add that even many of the high-cost providers have difficulty with this.
