Trend regime uses the 200-day moving average — the same gate the IVEST core applies before holding leveraged exposure. Composite score = 40·(trend) + 40·(momentum percentile) + 20·(1 − volatility percentile): fully transparent. Beta/correlation vs SPY over the last 12 months. Every number regenerates daily from raw prices — no analyst opinion in the loop.
Yes — BK trades +21.3% above its 200-day moving average, the classic systematic uptrend definition.
No page can answer that for you — but a trend system's checklist is public: regime ✅ above the 200-day line; momentum percentile 85/100; extension ⚠ stretched (+21.3% — pullback entries preferred); predefined exit at 120.85. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
