⚙️ Trading Strategy

Trade 10% range: buy support, sell resistance

Identifies stocks trading in a 10%+ range. Buys at support, sells at resistance, pocketing the 5% swing in between.

🎯 Best Suited For

Range-bound markets, consolidation periods

"Markets breathe in and out. I simply trade the breath."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Most stocks, most of the time, trade in ranges. Penelope doesn't need trends—she needs rhythm.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.
