These rules describe how systematic trend-following strategies typically operate — a framework, not a recommendation for any individual.
| Horizon | Return | Universe percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | +14.1% | 88 |
| 3M | +34.6% | 97 |
| 6M | +200.2% | 100 |
| 12M | +209.8% | 99 |
Cross-sectional percentile ranks MRVL 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. Residual momentum strips the market-beta component from returns before ranking — the single-factor edition of the signal the IVEST live book actually allocates on (the live version adds multi-factor residualization and earnings features under CPCV validation). Trend persistence measures how consistently the name held its regime over the last quarter. Composite score = 30·(trend) + 25·(raw momentum pct) + 25·(residual momentum pct) + 20·(1 − volatility pct): fully transparent. Every number regenerates daily from raw prices — no analyst opinion in the loop.
Yes — MRVL trades +65.3% 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 97/100; extension ⚠ stretched (+65.3% — pullback entries preferred); predefined exit at 143.50. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
143.50 as of 2026-08-19 (close 237.27, +65.3%). The 50-day sits at 234.45 — the 50/200 relationship is currently a golden cross.
Annualized volatility 96%, worst single day in the last year -18.6%, worst peak-to-trough -48%. Beta to SPY: 3.11. Size positions so that this drawdown profile is survivable — see the playbook above.
