A long-biased momentum strategy that holds most positions for days to weeks. Our system flags liquid U.S.-listed equities where several signals line up. We decide which to trade, and every position starts with a planned entry, target, and stop.
Every trading day, our system scans liquid U.S.-listed equities on weekly and daily charts, reads the news and earnings behind each move, and watches for unusual activity before and after the regular session.
Each setup is scored 0 to 100 against rules drawn from our playbook, such as breakouts and their retests, pullbacks within a trend, and relative-strength leaders. Names where several signals agree are escalated, and a big move with no news behind it is flagged.
The system spots the setup, and the principals decide whether to take it. The entry, target, and stop are set before a position is opened.
We ride trends and trim into strength rather than holding for the whole move. Exit signals such as overbought momentum, a break of support, or an overstretched price tell us when to take profits or cut a loss.
Most positions are held for days to weeks. We start from the weekly trend, where multi-week buying shows up, then work down to the daily chart to time the entry.
No single indicator is reliable on its own. Trend, volume, momentum, and relative strength each cast a vote, and conviction rises when several line up on the same name. We want to know the news behind a move, and we avoid buying moves that have none.
We wait for planned zones, like the retest of a breakout or a pullback into support, rather than buying moves that are already stretched. We short only against extreme extension inside an uptrend, and we cover fast.
Gekko Alpha runs a directional, long-biased momentum strategy. Most positions are in liquid U.S.-listed equities held for days to weeks, and some shorter-term trades may be in smaller, more volatile names. Momentum stocks can reverse quickly, and a price can gap through a planned stop, so a stop is not a guaranteed exit price. The strategy also takes selective short positions, and a short position's loss has no fixed limit. Returns are expected to be volatile, drawdowns can be significant, and you may lose part or all of your invested capital. The strategy's performance is correlated to broad market risk appetite, and it is suitable only for investors who can bear that risk. No strategy can guarantee its objective.
