Trend & Momentum
Ride strength, press weakness
What it is
Buy stocks already trending up — or short ones trending down — on the principle that strength and weakness persist. Includes clean breakouts through resistance on strong volume.
When it works
Higher highs above rising moving averages, ideally with volume and upward analyst revisions, and not yet stretched far from trend.
Why the setup pays
Price Action = Momentum and Direction = Long are the core — you're betting on continuation. Trade Horizon sets how much pullback you tolerate. Keeping it share-only means no time-decay clock, so you can hold the trend as long as it lasts.
The market it wants
Expansion / Recovery. Momentum leaders lead when growth is rewarded — risk-on Expansion and early Recovery.
What goes wrong
Trend breaks; chasing extended names right before mean reversion; a regime flip to risk-off.
Where it sits in the book
Trend & Momentum belongs to Linear Risk Premia & Style Factors, the group whose edge comes from mean or trend of the distribution. That group looks for sustained trend extensions, or clear overextensions for mean-reversion, and its risk profile is dynamic / path-dependent directional.
