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%.

Stock Trends Editorial

  • Market Intelligence Begins With Context
    Market Intelligence Begins With Context A Bullish stock is not the same thing as a broadly Bullish market. A leading sector is not necessarily strengthening. A favorable historical return distribution is not a forecast. And a market environment that resembles a persistent Bullish structure can still contain weakening participation beneath the surface. Those distinctions are becoming increasingly important because investment research is no longer consumed only by people looking at charts and tables. The same evidence can now be queried by portfolio systems, software applications and AI agents capable of combining thousands of observations in seconds. That makes the quality of the underlying market intelligence more important, not less. Before a machine can reason about a market, the data must make clear what is being measured, which population it describes, when it was observed and what can legitimately be inferred from it.

  • The Indexes Have Confirmed. The Market Beneath Them Has Not.
    The Indexes Have Confirmed. The Market Beneath Them Has Not. Five months ago, the Stock Trends data showed an unusual development. Favorable forward-return distributions were expanding beyond established Bullish trends and appearing in Weak Bullish, consolidation, and even selected Bearish configurations. The implication was that probability was improving before conventional trend confirmation. The September 18 dataset tells the next chapter of that story. Forward probability has not continued to disperse across trend states. It has moved back toward Bullish structures, particularly among broad-market ETFs. Yet the common-stock universe beneath those indexes has barely become more bullish at all.

  • Forward Probability Is Expanding Beyond Trend Confirmation
    Forward Probability Is Expanding Beyond Trend Confirmation The recent Stock Trends editorials have established that the current market is not defined by a unified directional regime. Instead, it is characterized by internal dispersion, where leadership is fragmented across sectors, industries, and individual securities. The latest dataset reinforces that conclusion. But more importantly, it reveals a structural shift beneath the surface: forward return probabilities are no longer tightly coupled to traditional trend classifications.

  • Leadership Beneath the Surface: How Stock Trends Identifies System-Critical Equities
    Leadership Beneath the Surface: How Stock Trends Identifies System-Critical Equities The broad market still reads as a rotation market rather than a generalized expansion phase. Energy, Materials, and Utilities remain the clearest sector-level leadership blocs, but the current Stock Trends dataset shows that a second layer of leadership is now becoming more visible beneath the sector averages. That secondary leadership is important because it does not present itself as broad participation. It appears instead through specific industry groups whose internal trend structure is materially stronger than that of their parent sectors. In this week’s data, the clearest examples are Semiconductors and Equipment, Telecommunications, Containers & Packaging, and Banking.
