Overview

The Quantmatix system identifies Medium-Term Reversals—points where a stock’s trend shows exhaustion and potential reversal. These signals stem from the proprietary Q-Score framework, which integrates technical, momentum, and trend indicators across multiple timeframes. This strategy is intended for long-only trades aiming to capture medium-term upward moves after a confirmed reversal.

Identifying Trades

From the Quantmatix dashboard, select Screener and Medium Term.

Filter your universe to Equities and United States, then apply the Green Score Reversal Icon filter.

Next, in the Hit Rate column, select Greater Than 70 to highlight trades with a >70% probability of reaching Target 1.

You now have a list of potential trades to explore with a >70% likelihood of success.

In this case we have selected Trade Desk Inc. There is an 81% likelihood that the price will hit Target 1.

Strategy Setup

  1. Entry Signal: Enter long when a Medium-Term Positive Reversal is confirmed. This indicates slowing downside momentum and potential rebound conditions.

  2. Target Price: Set your take-profit at Target 1 —the first upside level projected by Quantmatix based on historical signal data and volatility thresholds.

  3. Stop & Risk Management: Use a trailing stop equivalent to Stop 1’s percentage distance (e.g., 8% below entry). This locks in profits while maintaining controlled downside exposure.
