TEVO Methodology

TEVO (Trade Expected Value Outcome) is a probability-driven framework inside Quantmatix designed to help traders identify high-quality medium-term reversal opportunities with clearly defined risk and reward.

TEVO focuses on trades where the expected value is positive, based on historical performance, volatility-adjusted targets, and additional quality filters.


What Is TEVO?

TEVO is part of Quantmatix’s medium-term reversal framework.

It is designed to identify trades where:

  • The expected value is clearly positive

  • Historical hit rate, reward, and risk support the setup

  • Risk and reward levels are clearly defined upfront

Each TEVO idea is generated using expected value calculations, combined with additional ranking and quality criteria to surface the strongest opportunities first.


How TEVO Ideas Are Constructed

TEVO ideas are built using several key components:

Expected Value Calculation

Each setup is evaluated based on its historical probability of success relative to its potential reward and risk.

Volatility-Adjusted Targets

  • More volatile instruments receive wider target and risk levels

  • Lower volatility instruments receive tighter levels

This ensures targets are optimized for the specific behavior of each instrument.

Quality Ranking

On top of expected value, additional ranking criteria are applied so that:

  • The highest-quality setups appear first

  • Users can focus attention on the most compelling opportunities


Performance Characteristics

Historically, the TEVO framework is designed to:

  • Hit Target 1 approximately 65% of the time for US and European equities

  • Deliver clearly defined risk and reward levels

  • Reach Target 1 in an average of 17 days

This makes TEVO particularly well-suited to swing traders and traders focused on medium-term setups.
