Combines 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month trend signals instead of betting on one lookback.
No AI qualification submitted
This strategy keeps its course or research provenance. A normal backtest snapshot cannot award the AI-generated label.
How the strategy works
Different trend horizons react at different speeds. The ensemble converts four binary signals into gradual exposure, reducing dependence on one arbitrary lookback.
Concrete example
If the 1-, 6- and 12-month returns are positive but the 3-month return is negative, the next month holds 75% SPY exposure.
Published research
Time-series momentum literature — multiple persistent horizons
Published evidence motivates this candidate; it does not guarantee this implementation will pass our current sample.
Exact algorithm
- At month-end calculate returns over 21, 63, 126 and 252 sessions.
- Allocate 25% exposure for each positive horizon.
- Hold that 0–100% exposure during the next month.
- Re-evaluate monthly.
Required data: ohlcv
Where it may work—and where it can fail
Main risks
- Correlated horizons provide less diversification than they appear
- Partial exposure can lag sharp rebounds
- Cash yield is omitted
- The blend is implementation-specific
“Best conditions” is an interpretation of the strategy's mechanism, not an additional course entry rule and not a performance guarantee.

Capital basis is allocated paper equity. Gross notional uses the exposure stored with that exact fill; legacy fills with no recorded exposure are shown as unknown. A new semantic paper generation archives the prior run and restarts the forward clock.
Archived paper versions
Read-only prior runs preserve their executable manifest, balances, and fills. They never contribute to the active clock, cash, or qualification.

Rolling 70/30 diagnostic
This moving 70/30 split is a dashboard diagnostic, not frozen qualification evidence. It cannot award AI-qualified status.
Candles and execution signals
Shows the latest 120 available bars. BUY/SELL marks strategy entries and exits whose timestamps fall in this visible window.
Historical equity curve
Compounds each encoded net trade sequentially, including the strategy's declared exposure and modeled costs. The forward ledger starts only after deployment.
Backtest specification
The equal-weight horizon blend is a predeclared implementation choice, not one exact source-paper portfolio.
Historical transactions
HIT = profitable after the 4 bps cost assumption; MISS = loss after costs; FLAT = break-even. Showing the most recent 100 of 100 transactions.
