MarketIQ Projection Methodology

A comprehensive look at our quantitative models, indicators, and risk boundaries.

1. Scanner Engine

The MarketIQ scanner continuously monitors multiple asset categories, including US large-cap equities, Indian market indices, and highly traded cryptocurrency pairs. It operates across multiple timeframes (from 5-minute swing intervals to monthly investment structures) to capture directional confluences. By scanning momentum, volume profile deviations, and structural breakdowns, it flags potential swing trends before they display in standard indicator arrays.

2. Trend Detection & Moving Averages

Trend tracking uses a proprietary combination of short-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA5 and EMA8) alongside a broader 50-period Modified Moving Average (MMA50).

  • Bullish Posture: Established when EMA5 crosses and remains above EMA8, with the asset price sustaining above a rising MMA50 benchmark.
  • Bearish Posture: Confirmed when EMA5 crosses below EMA8, and the price trades below a falling MMA50 boundary.

3. Support and Resistance Analysis

Unlike standard backward-looking pivot calculations, our support and resistance zones are derived dynamically. The engine tracks historical swing highs and swing lows over customizable lookback windows (typically 350 periods) and calculates volume-weighted horizontal blocks. These zones act as key triggers for breakout acceleration or reversal deceleration.

4. Fibonacci Retracements (Pine D-Fib)

Confluence mapping is achieved by overlaying automated Fibonacci retracement ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0 Extensions) onto active swing ranges. The Pine D-Fib algorithm filters out minor market noise, locking onto significant structural pivot points to define conditional price targets.

5. Linear Regression Projection Channels

Once a strong trend direction is identified by the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (measuring momentum slope across short-term R10 and medium-term R21 intervals), the model plots a standard linear regression path. The projection channel represents the standard error boundary. If the asset remains within these regression limits, the current trend is projected to continue toward the mapped Fibonacci confluence zones.

6. Risk Management & Caveats

Quantitative models represent mathematical probabilities, not guarantees. MarketIQ is a conditional projection engine. If an asset breaks down below calculated dynamic support thresholds, the bullish model invalidates, requiring instant capital preservation posture. Investors should always utilize trailing exit triggers and match position sizing to dynamic ATR volatility.
