These rules describe how systematic trend-following strategies typically operate — a framework, not a recommendation for any individual.
| Horizon | Return | Universe percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | +20.5% | 99 |
| 3M | +86.1% | 97 |
| 6M | -56.7% | 1 |
| 12M | -60.9% | 1 |
Cross-sectional percentile ranks CRWD 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. Note: this composite score is a public screening metric; the IVEST live book allocates on residualized momentum (factor-stripped, earnings-aware, CPCV-validated) — raw and residual rankings can and do differ.
No — CRWD trades -45.2% below its 200-day moving average; trend systems treat this regime as risk-off.
No page can answer that for you — but a trend system's checklist is public: regime ❌ below the 200-day line; momentum percentile 97/100; extension ⚠ stretched (-45.2% — pullback entries preferred); predefined exit at 362.03. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
362.03 as of 2026-07-09 (close 198.40, -45.2%). The 50-day sits at 161.75 — the 50/200 relationship is currently a dead cross.
Annualized volatility 41%, worst single day in the last year -75.0%, worst peak-to-trough -83%. Beta to SPY: 1.28. Size positions so that this drawdown profile is survivable — see the playbook above.
