These rules describe how systematic trend-following strategies typically operate — a framework, not a recommendation for any individual.
| Horizon | Return | Universe percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | +13.2% | 95 |
| 3M | -14.2% | 6 |
| 6M | -6.8% | 22 |
| 12M | -57.8% | 1 |
Cross-sectional percentile ranks SOL 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.
No — SOL trades -14.4% 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 6/100; extension normal; predefined exit at 92.21. If any of those words are unfamiliar, position sizing — not stock picking — is the first thing to learn (Kelly calculator).
92.21 as of 2026-07-10 (close 78.91, -14.4%). The 50-day sits at 74.70 — the 50/200 relationship is currently a dead cross.
Annualized volatility 47%, worst single day in the last year -15.0%, worst peak-to-trough -67%. Beta to SPY: 2.44. Size positions so that this drawdown profile is survivable — see the playbook above.
