How It Works

1

Daily Scoring

Every trading day, all 85 stocks are evaluated using a 7-factor momentum scoring system. Only stocks scoring above 60 are considered for entry.

2

Market Filter

Signals are only generated when QQQ is above its 13-day moving average, ensuring we trade with the overall market trend.

3

Portfolio Construction

The top 10 ranked stocks form the portfolio with equal capital allocation. Positions are rebalanced daily based on momentum rankings.

4

Trade Tracking

Every trade is logged with full transparency. View round-trip P&L calculations, individual sub-trades, and complete trade history in the Trades page.

7-Factor Momentum Scoring

Each stock receives a composite score (0-100) based on seven factors. Weights are optimized for maximum risk-adjusted returns.
