⚠️ Important Note:
This simulation tests each symbol with its own $10K account (not pooled).
Crypto symbols can show 40-75%+ fee drag due to high trade frequency.
Stocks are FREE on Alpaca, so the ~100 stock symbols have zero fee impact.
⚙️ Trading Strategy
50-day MA trend following, 3% strength threshold
Identifies established trends using the 50-day moving average. Enters when price is 3% above the MA (confirming strength) and exits when it crosses below.
🎯 Best Suited For
Commodities, currencies, trending markets
📜 Why This Strategy Works
Markets trend because information is absorbed gradually. Trent doesn't catch bottoms or tops—he catches middles, which is where the money is.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
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.
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.
🔥 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.
