STOCK TRENDS NYSE ST-IM SELECT BULLISH CROSSOVER PORTFOLIO TRADING STRATEGY


The trading criteria defined for the Stock Trends NYSE ST-IM Select Bullish Crossover Portfolio are as follows:

BUY a stock when:

 

Stock Trends Inference Model 'Select' stocks must have Stock Trends indicator combinations that have a lower limit of its mean return confidence interval above the base period mean random return for all three periods: 4-week, 13-week, and 40-week. Base period mean returns are: 4-week[ 0% ], 13-week[ 2.19% ], 40-week[ 6.45% ]. The assumed probability distribution is a normal curve. Probability of exceeding the 13-week base period random returns must be >= 55%.

 

Note that transaction costs are factored into the cost of purchases and the net proceeds of sales at 1% in and 1% out, or 2% commission on a round trip. 

 

SELL criteria are as follows:

  • Sell Trigger #1: A Bearish Crossover (). 

 

Stock Trends NYSE ST-IM Select Bullish Crossover Portfolio has a winning percentage (the number of trades that provided positive returns as a percentage of the total number of trades) of 48%. What makes the system successful is the ratio of the average gains on positive return trades to the average losses on negative return trades. One way to represent this relationship and measure the profitability of a trading system is the Profit Factor:

Stock Trends Editorial

  • War, Inflation, and Rotation: What Stock Trends Reveals After the Middle East Shock
    War, Inflation, and Rotation: What Stock Trends Reveals After the Middle East Shock This week's market headlines have been dominated by war, oil, and inflation fears. However, the Stock Trends context indicates that this is not a broad liquidation. It is a disciplined rotation into sectors tied to scarcity, resilience, and security. Markets do not move from a blank slate. They rotate, they re-price, and they reveal where capital was already preparing to move before the headlines become obvious. This past week’s escalation in the Middle East has undeniably shaken investor confidence, but the latest Stock Trends dataset suggests that the deeper message is not indiscriminate panic. It is a reordering of leadership.

  • Not Risk-On. Not Risk-Off. Rotation.
    Not Risk-On. Not Risk-Off. Rotation. Not Risk-On. Not Risk-Off. Rotation. In our recent editorial, The Hard Asset Regime Is Not a Trade — It’s a Structure, we examined the persistent leadership emerging in gold and materials and argued that real assets were no longer functioning as short-term hedges, but as structural participants in the market. The current Stock Trends dataset extends that thesis — but in a different direction. The 13-week ST-IM probability model is no longer pointing to a narrow leadership cluster. It is identifying a market redistributing capital across multiple durable themes simultaneously. This is not a simple “risk-on” environment. It is not a defensive “risk-off” retreat. It is rotation.

  • The Hard-Asset Regime Is Not a Trade — It’s a Structure
    The Hard-Asset Regime Is Not a Trade — It’s a Structure Markets rarely move randomly. They rotate. They reallocate. They transition from one leadership regime to another. And when that transition is real, it shows up not in headlines — but in breadth. This week’s Stock Trends universe reveals something decisive. When we measure common stocks only (removing ETFs that duplicate underlying holdings), two sectors stand apart: Materials and Energy.

  • Stock Trends Mid-Quarter Review: How the Year-End 2025 Themes Are Performing in Q1 2026
    Stock Trends Mid-Quarter Review: How the Year-End 2025 Themes Are Performing in Q1 2026 Halfway through Q1 2026, the question is no longer theoretical: Did the year-end institutional momentum and ST-IM Alpha themes actually guide investors effectively? With the updated February 13, 2026 Stock Trends dataset now in hand, we can measure the outcome directly — not against headlines, but against trend structure, relative strength, and momentum persistence. The short answer: the framework largely held — but leadership rotated exactly where the model suggested it might.
