These rules describe how systematic trend-following strategies typically operate — a framework, not a recommendation for any individual.
| Horizon | Return | Universe percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | +5.4% | 69 |
| 3M | -1.0% | 33 |
| 6M | +7.6% | 51 |
| 12M | +27.6% | 67 |
Cross-sectional percentile ranks BMY against ~200 liquid US names — a stock can be "up" and still lag the tape. Persistent top-quartile momentum across horizons is the profile trend systems allocate to.
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 — BMY trades +8.3% 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 33/100; extension normal; predefined exit at 53.48. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
53.48 as of 2026-07-09 (close 57.94, +8.3%). The 50-day sits at 56.29 — the 50/200 relationship is currently a golden cross.
Annualized volatility 31%, worst single day in the last year -5.8%, worst peak-to-trough -14%. Beta to SPY: 0.25. Size positions so that this drawdown profile is survivable — see the playbook above.
