These rules describe how systematic trend-following strategies typically operate — a framework, not a recommendation for any individual.
| Horizon | Return | Universe percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | +5.2% | 72 |
| 3M | -2.3% | 26 |
| 6M | +20.9% | 84 |
| 12M | +25.0% | 64 |
Cross-sectional percentile ranks NVDA 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 — NVDA trades +11.0% 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 26/100; extension normal; predefined exit at 195.93. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
195.93 as of 2026-09-01 (close 217.44, +11.0%). The 50-day sits at 208.80 — the 50/200 relationship is currently a golden cross.
Annualized volatility 46%, worst single day in the last year -6.2%, worst peak-to-trough -20%. Beta to SPY: 1.92. Size positions so that this drawdown profile is survivable — see the playbook above.
