Defense First. Then Offense.
The Red Line identifies when the market regime favors being invested — and when to raise cash. The M5 identifies which stocks carry the strongest momentum right now. Together, they form a systematic, risk-managed process. No gut calls. No rebalancing and hoping for the best.

Risk Management

The Red Line

Your first layer of risk management: should you be fully invested or raising cash? The Red Line tracks the long-term market regime. A weekly Value Signal watches for oversold reversals. When the next bear market starts, this signal is how you know — not three months after the fact.

95+
Years of backtested data

Stock Selection

The M5 Algorithm

Once the regime favors being invested, which stocks carry the strongest momentum right now? Every month, the algorithm scores 545+ U.S. large and mid-cap stocks and ranks the top 5. No opinions. No narratives. Just the math.

THE RED LINE STRATEGY

95 Years of Market History. One Clear Signal.

The Red Line tracked through the Great Depression, dot-com, 2008, and COVID — in hypothetical backtesting, it flagged every major regime shift. A weekly Value Signal adds a second layer for oversold reversals. You get both on one chart with full signal history.

How Does Your Process Hold Up in a Bear Market?
We stress-tested ours. All figures below are hypothetical backtested results — they do not represent actual trading. The Red Line backtest starts in 1995. The M5 has been backtested since January 2018. Every drawdown measured, every trade logged, nothing hidden.
The Red Line 1995 - 2025

Your first line of defense. The Red Line identifies whether broad market conditions favor being invested or raising cash. In hypothetical backtesting, it flagged regime shifts before every major bear market since the 1920s — so you're not the advisor who finds out a bear market started three months after it began.

IMPORTANT: All performance figures shown above are hypothetical backtested results. They do not represent actual trading and were achieved by means of retroactive application of a model designed with the benefit of hindsight. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. Hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Transaction costs, slippage, taxes, and other fees are not included. The Red Line backtest covers 1995-2025. The M5 backtest covers January 2018 to present. Past performance is not indicative of future results. See full disclosures.

We Built This Because We Needed It.

In our experience, the conversations that cost advisors their accounts aren't about missing a rally. They're about drawdowns. A 30% drop in a retirement portfolio creates a conversation that no performance chart can undo. In 2008, we watched experienced advisors sell at the bottom — not because they were bad at their job, but because they had no system, no rules, and no plan for what the data was actually showing them.

After 35+ years in the markets, we stopped trying to predict and started building rules. The Red Line tracks the long-term trend and, in hypothetical backtesting, identified regime shifts before every major bear market since the 1920s. The M5 algorithm takes emotion out of stock selection entirely — 545+ stocks scored on math, not narratives.

We built this for ourselves first. We still use it every day. Now we're sharing it with advisors who want a real risk management process — not quarterly rebalancing and a prayer.

How are the M5 momentum stocks selected? +

What is the Red Line signal? +

The Red Line is a trend-following framework that identifies market regime conditions — whether the broad market trend is positive or negative. A weekly Value Signal layer monitors for oversold conditions. In hypothetical backtesting, the Red Line identified regime changes during major bear markets since the 1920s. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Is this financial advice? +

No. Momentum Wealth Research provides data-driven signals and educational research. We are not registered investment advisors. All content is for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always do your own research and consult a licensed professional before making investment decisions.

Do you offer plans for advisory firms? +

Yes. Start with a single membership to see how it fits your workflow. If you need multiple seats or firm-wide access, email contact@momentumwealthresearch.com and we'll set up the right arrangement for your team.

Are these backtested or live results? +

All performance figures on this page are hypothetical backtested results. The Red Line backtest covers 1995 to present. The M5 backtest covers January 2018 to present. They do not represent actual trading or live account performance. Hypothetical results have many inherent limitations — no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Transaction costs, slippage, taxes, and other fees are not included. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Full methodology and backtest details are available inside the member dashboard. See our full disclosures.
