Temporal Portfolio Theory and True Sector Rotation.

Merlyn.AI harnesses momentum investing strategies that requires time-based market data. This is the key difference that transforms our methodology past MPT into Temporal Portfolio Theory (TPT)

Merlyn.AI utilizes the same engineering science that has enabled WiFi, USB, iPhones, Digital TV, even the Mars Rover. Our technology, culture and vernacular have all considerably evolved since 1952. Likewise, portfolio theory has evolved from MPT’s simplistic ‘diversified buy-and-hold’ methodology to TPT’s advanced “adaptive momentum” methodology.

We utilize AlphaDroid Algorithms for True Sector Rotation. Unlike other investment theories, AlphaDroid’s algorithms make decisions based on market realities. This specifically avoids basing decisions on cycles, patterns, correlations, or what the talking heads believe the market should be doing.

AlphaDroid is designed to break through efficient frontiers, which is why it fits into our philosophy.

Know when the market is safe or unsafe with Stormguard Armor

StormGuard-Armor

StormGuard-Armor is the canary we bring into the coalmine to help avoid – and even profit in – the worst market conditions with the right preparation.

StormGuard closely monitors the 3 biggest indicators of a bear market: Price trend - Momentum – Sentiment

When a storm is brewing, this built-in circuit breaker will shift into bear market strategies with momentum for continued earning.

Forward Walk Progressive Tuning

Too often, backtesting will mask potential issues with a strategy ’ s performance. We, however, use the gold standard of backtesting. Forward-Walk Progressive Tuning is the next evolution because it removes hindsight bias.

Our backtesting is completely transparent in that it shows you exactly what actually occurred at any given time throughout the lifetime of the strategy. Its history is not adjusted or edited in order to paint a better picture- quite the opposite. Its history is the thing that actually creates a better picture moving forward, because it is constantly learning new information, re-tuning, and then applying it.

After defining a ‘Born On Date, ’ the algorithm refreshes and incorporates the latest data every 125 days. This re-tuned algorithm then makes decisions during the next subsequent 125-day period. This means we can better determine the efficacy of any given strategy you might be considering. Think of forward-walk progressive tuning like the GPS-directional mobile app Waze. The algorithm, like Waze, is constantly taking in new information to give you a smoother ride.
