The daily scores are calculated using thousands of fundamental and technical data sets that seek to consider as many moving parts of a stock as possible. The ORTEX AI Score is a data driven predictive score where we think the highest ranked (up to 100) is most likely to outperform over the next quarter (90 days).
ORTEX use cutting edge AI algorithms to identify relevant patterns in stocks using infinite combinations of our vast data library. All the above combine to give an overall ORTEX Stock Score. Each stock is ranked as a percentile against their market peers from zero (worst) to 100 (best) for each factor before being brought into the equal weighted Stock Score. These scores can be viewed separately as can all individual components of each factor but form part of the relevant Quality, Momentum or Value Factors. In addition to these more traditional baskets, ORTEX also have a score for Insider activity, Short analysis score and Relative correlation diversion.
ORTEX Factor scores can be further filtered to suit Geography, Sector, Size, Liquidity and Yield. These attributes which are associated with higher returns are Quality, Momentum and Value. ORTEX Factor scores are designed to help investors capture the return of factors which have historically shown excess market returns. This can all be seen from the data we display on our Alpha Trading Signals. We start by statistically determining rare events, and on top of this we use a machine learning algorithm to determine the likelihood of success. Hence, we have a two-pronged approach to our signals. You can evaluate current levels on the chart and see where previous triggers have fired our ALPHA signals. ORTEX’ approach to trading signals is rather cautious, markets can be volatile, and history doesn’t always repeat itself. The different types of signal look at different aspects of the metric that is the main base for that signal. O R T E X intuitively displays the historical relationships (over 10 years) between stock returns and several of the major technical indicators for a stock RSI levels, Stochastic, Bollinger band, and MACD. ORTEX has five families of trading signals: Short Squeeze, EPS, RSI, MACD and Company Events. The alpha trading signal will tell you how much return has historically been made as well as the optimal holding period and relative success of this signal in the past. We also help you visualize this with star ratings, success bars and charts.Įvery day ORTEX identifies alpha-generating opportunities. “Our 5 star EPS trading signals returned 2230% over 4 years” Trading Signalsįor each signal we tell you how many times the signal has triggered in the past, the success rate and the average return, as well as what holding period has previously given the best return.
