Multi Horizon Trend

Updated dailyData needs: lowlong only

In plain terms

Looks at the stock's trend over several lookbacks (weeks, months, quarters). When most lookbacks agree the trend is up, go long; when most disagree, stand aside.

How it works

Votes a stock as 'trending up' if its current close is above its price N days ago, across multiple horizons (e.g. 21/63/126 trading days). When a configurable number of votes agree (e.g. 2 of 3), go long; otherwise go to a half-exposure 'long-bias' floor or full cash. Mixing windows from 1-month to 12-month captures both short-cycle and full-cycle momentum without committing to one lookback.

Expected edge

Trend-following is robustly profitable across markets/decades; multi-horizon voting reduces single-lookback overfit (Asness-Moskowitz-Pedersen 2013).
