“To invest or speculate successfully, one must form an opinion as to what the next move of importance will be in a given stock."

"Speculation is nothing more than anticipating coming movements."

"In order to anticipate correctly, one must have a definite basis for that anticipation.”

Mission

QAT Systems, LLC Mission is to become the intelligence Short-Term and Day-Traders use to become risk averse and more profitable traders.

This scientific approach to trading was developed because I saw the needs and the pains of trader's years ago. The needs and pains that I recognized by studying numerous published traders were:
  • The trader needed to be able to explain why a trader made money. Was it intuition, luck, skill, a pattern-based strategy, reversion to the mean, trend following, risk management, or possibly any or all of the above?
  • The trader needed the ability to define patterns mathematically - because the very best trader's in the history of the world have always traded off of patterns of some sort.
  • The trader needed the ability to calculate risk and base the risk on the probability of a successful trade - I suggest the Ed Thorp formula for determining how much capital to risk per trade.

Does Trend Following Give a Trader an EDGE?

Does Trend Following Give a Trader an EDGE?

A question that has been left unanswered for centuries. Does trend-following give a trader an edge?

Is a solution out there? How do we answer this question? In order to find an answer, I chose to use The Intra-Day Momentum Method Levels as a starting point for the solution. The goal was not to specifically define a trend but to demonstrate mathematical solutions.

Determining Daily High/Low with The Intra-Day Momentum Method

Determining Daily Intra-Day High/Low

The Intra-Day Momentum Method Levels are designed to determine the daily intra-day market direction. The results shown here are presented to demonstrate the model. When applied to over 400 stocks in the S & P 500 from April 2015 through October 2020, we see the following results. The graph below shows the High and Low of the day in relation to The Intra-Day Momentum Levels for this period of time. It demonstrates that the market has a specific price range in which it is most likely to trade.
