Stop Guessing Strength. Measure It.

StatsEdgeTrading

Everyone talks about “strong stocks.”

Almost no one measures it properly.

Here’s the mistake:
“If it’s up the most, it’s strong.”

Wrong.

That’s just volatility.

Insight #1 — Strength is relative, not absolute
Microcaps ripping doesn’t mean strength—it means high beta.

Insight #2 — Anchor your analysis
Use a reference point (like S&P 500 or anchored VWAP).
Then ask: who held up best?

Insight #3 — Leaders lead both ways
Small caps held up better → likely leaders on the way up
Mega caps lagged → likely continue lagging

That’s the edge.

Action Plan

• Pick a benchmark (SPY works)

• Use an anchor (recent low, VWAP, or highs)

• Compare sectors and indexes to it

• Focus on relative winners, avoid laggards

This is how you stop chasing noise and start trading strength.
