Historical Comparison: What the Data Tells Us

Our current +6.29% gain positions us in the 5-7% range. This range has 4 historical precedents in the data set. What happened with similar trades going forward?

In trades that started in the 5-7% range after 10 days, the average outcomes were: 3.2% at 20 days, 5.5% at 30 days, and 6.6% at 60 days. While these figures show some consolidation from the current level, they also indicate that positions in this range have typically remained profitable and relatively stable.

It’s worth noting that the 5-7% range carries a “Close” signal in the original framework, suggesting that traders in this range historically made their exits and captured gains rather than holding indefinitely. However, our current position is still very fresh at just 10 days, giving us reasonable opportunity to let it run further if market conditions support it.

Exit Decision and Next Steps

HOLD – Monitor for exit signal

The trade remains valid and active. Current performance of +6.29% is well above our zero percent exit threshold at 10 days. Position continues to meet all criteria for holding through the next measurement window.

Your next decision point arrives around day 20, where historical data suggests monitoring price action carefully. Based on the 5-7% starting range data, many traders have successfully exited in the 3.2% to 6.6% range at 20-30 days, taking respectable profits while momentum remains positive.

Key metrics to watch: If ILF pulls back toward $36.50 (approaching the 0% return line), it would trigger our automatic close rule. Conversely, if the stock strengthens above $38.50, that would signal continued upward momentum worth tracking into the 20-30 day window.

Key Takeaways

Early success matters. Capturing 6%+ gains in just 10 days demonstrates that the original signal timing and edge were sound. This validates the trading approach and the statistical framework behind it.
Rules protect gains. Our predetermined exit rules prevented holding through weakness or chasing further upside recklessly. The clear 0% threshold at 10 days kept the trade disciplined and risk-managed.
Historical context guides decisions. Understanding that similar 5-7% range trades typically see consolidation rather than explosive growth helps set realistic expectations for the next two weeks of holding.

Conclusion

The ILF trade is performing exactly as the statistical edge suggested it would. We’re 10 days in, up 6.29%, and all systems remain green for continuation. The next critical window arrives around day 20, where a reassessment will determine whether to bank profits or maintain exposure for potentially larger gains. For now, the position holds on HOLD with disciplined risk management in place.
