Patent-Pending Framework

The Intra-Day Momentum Method

A computer-implemented mathematical framework for studying intraday market behavior through measurable structure.

The allowed claims are directed to computer-implemented analysis of intraday market behavior using the session open and statistically derived price-distance structure. The methodology can be implemented in software, but it is not a claim to trading software generally.

The claimed methodology defines the analytical process. Software can provide an environment in which that process is applied, tested, and studied.

What the Patent Application Is About

The allowed claims concern computer-implemented market analysis—not the appearance or layout of a front-end platform.

The Methodology

A computer-implemented process for analyzing intraday market behavior using measurable price relationships anchored to the session open.

The Structure

Statistically derived price distances establish levels through which intraday behavior can be measured consistently and repeatedly.

The Analysis

Price behavior in relation to the calculated levels can be processed and evaluated using defined mathematical conditions.

The Research Value

The framework supports the study of testable market tendencies using structured data rather than relying solely on visual interpretation.

The Core Idea

Can intraday market direction be studied mathematically?

The framework begins with statistically derived price-distance levels anchored to the session open. As price interacts with those levels, market behavior can be defined and measured through consistent rules rather than interpreted loosely.

Instead of asking traders to rely primarily on visual interpretation, the framework asks whether intraday behavior can be defined, tested, and measured mathematically.

Levels → Structure → Patterns → Outcomes

Once the levels are calculated, they create a repeatable analytical structure.

Levels

Statistically derived price-distance levels are calculated from the session open.

Structure

Those levels create a consistent mathematical foundation for measuring intraday behavior.

Patterns

Patterns can be defined from that structure using measurable conditions rather than visual labels alone.

Outcomes

Behavior can be evaluated through defined outcomes, including continuation, reversal, and movement relative to the session open.

What the Allowed Claims Address

Claimed Subject Matter

  • Computer-implemented analysis of intraday market price data
  • The session open as a reference point within the claimed analysis
  • Statistically derived price distances based on historical intraday behavior
  • Calculated levels and the analysis of price behavior in relation to those levels
  • The additional processing and outcome limitations recited in the claims

Important Scope Distinction

The application does not claim trading software generally, but a particular software implementation may practice the claimed methodology.

Patent scope is not determined by a product name, interface, or codebase. It is defined by the issued claims, read in light of the patent specification and prosecution history.

The Role of Software

Software can provide a practical environment for applying and studying the methodology.

A research platform can calculate the structure, test defined patterns, evaluate historical outcomes, simulate rules, and support automated workflows. The software platform and the claimed methodology are related, but they are not interchangeable: a platform may contain capabilities beyond the allowed claims, and the claimed methodology may be implemented in different software environments.

U.S. Patent Application No. 18/775,412 has received a Notice of Allowance and remains patent pending until a patent issues. If issued, the legal scope of protection will be defined by the issued claims.

The Methodology and Its Implementation

The claims define the legal scope. Software provides an implementation environment.
