⚙️ Trading Strategy

20-day momentum, 5% threshold confirmation

Looks for stocks that have gained 5%+ over the last 20 days. Enters on pullbacks (red candles) within the uptrend and rides until target hit or momentum fades.

🎯 Best Suited For

Growth stocks, meme stocks

"Catch it early, ride it hard, bail before the wipeout."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Momentum persists because of behavioral biases. Investors underreact to good news initially, then pile in as the trend becomes obvious. Momo catches the middle of this wave.

📖 Historical Origin

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.

👤 Personality

Lives for the rush. Talks fast, thinks faster. Gets bored if a trade takes more than a week. Has ADHD but considers it a trading advantage.
