AI-driven model · Simulated · Educational — not investment advice

An AI-driven trading model,
read as a clean report every morning.

Seven of the best books ever written on momentum and technical trading — O'Neil, Minervini, Farley, Knight, Duddella, Steidlmayer — were read end to end and distilled into something rare: rules precise enough for a machine to execute and test. That library is the model's brain.

Every session it puts that knowledge to work across all ~500 names in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, hunting Stage-2 uptrends, volatility contractions, cup-with-handles and base breakouts — then runs the full book end to end: regime gate, Trend-Template selection, a 50-day-SMA trend-hold, a wide disaster stop. Zero discretion. Zero opinions. Every rule traceable to a page in a book.

The output is one clean report: the model's process, its positions, its numbers. Research and education — no forecasts, and no recommendations to you.

How the model works

The same automated steps run every evening with zero human discretion — a systematic, AI-driven model, not opinions. Educational; not investment advice.

01

Regime gate

An 8-point score on trend, breadth, volatility and distribution decides how much risk to press — from full size in a confirmed uptrend to zero new buys in distribution.

02

Selection

Only names passing all 8 Trend-Template criteria, near their pivot, not extended, not on cooldown. Quality first, then closeness to trigger.

03

Trend-hold exit

Hold the full position until a daily close below the 50-day SMA. A −12% disaster stop underneath; a +30%→+15% profit-lock on big winners. Let winners run.

04

Sizing & caps

Book of record — every trigger, full 7.14% positions, ≤12 names: the only limit is capital. The risk-optimized book adds a regime gate and a Trend-Template screen, ≤14 names at 6.12%, ≤25% per group, ETFs and neutral-regime pilots at half. Capital allocation shown every day.

05

Three books

The every-signal book of record, a risk-optimized book that filters hard on regime and trend, and a chart-pattern book run off our own screener — so what the filtering is worth stays visible in both directions.

06

Your morning read

A single report: tomorrow's action, watchlist, order plan with brackets, open positions with exit levels, and month-to-date results.

Where the method comes from

The rules aren't invented. Seven trading books were read end to end and distilled into the wiki that drives the model — every rule below traces to one of them. What survived is only what could be written down as something a machine can test.

How to Make Money in Stocks

The founding text of CAN SLIM and of Investor's Business Daily. It defines what a leader is before it breaks out, and its market-direction rule — counting institutional distribution days — is implemented directly in the model's regime gate.

Think & Trade Like a Champion

The most load-bearing of the six. His Trend Template is implemented literally as the model's 8-criterion quality gate, alongside risk-first sizing and the eight keys to high return with low drawdown.

Momentum Masters

A roundtable where four elite traders answer the same 130 questions side by side. Where they agree on selection, sizing and exits is where the model's defaults come from.

The Master Swing Trader

The pattern cycle — how price repeats through bottoms, breakouts, rallies, tops and declines — plus cross-verification of support and resistance across timeframes.

High-Probability Trade Setups

A chartist's walk through the major patterns one at a time: how to identify each, where the entry sits, and where the stop belongs.

Trade Chart Patterns Like the Pros

A broad catalog of chart and harmonic patterns. This is the reference behind the pattern screener that scans ~514 names nightly for VCPs, cup-with-handles and base breakouts.

Steidlmayer on Markets

The foundational text on Market Profile and auction theory: price as an auction whose job is to facilitate trade, and whether the market is trading at, above or below value.

Reading them is the easy part. The model's contribution is refusing to deviate from them at 4pm on a bad day.

Simulated performance

⚠ Simulated / backtested. No real trades were placed. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations and are not indicative of future results. Educational only — not investment advice.
