Research

QAT Systems was founded on the principles of the very best traders that ever lived.

“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.”

- Jesse Livermore

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.
