 push,
 
 Copied and pasted your filter so I could backtest from 1/01 - 2/28.  Here are the results using the same default settings that you also used (10% profit & loss stops, 25 day holding, etc.).  Something isn't jiving.

 Ran it again but as a short filter.  Did much better.  Although almost any short filter would have performed well during that period.
