Behind every Naviquant strategy is a single oscillator we call NCT — Naviquant Composite Tactical. Three time-tested tactical signals, blended into one reading. A simple moving-average crossover on the price tells us when a name has turned up or down. The market moves; we follow it.
The price chart at the top tells one name's story over time. The composite below — NCT — blends three tactical signals into the only number we act on, and changes state only when the moving averages cross.
No predictions. We read the price, we score the tactical, we wait for the crossover, we act. Then we wait again.
Take the close. Every name, every day, no exceptions. The market told us what it did — we listen.
Compute the three tactical signals. Blend them into one number — that's NCT.
Watch the moving averages. When the fast crosses the slow, the state changes. Until then, nothing.
Position changes only when the cross flips. No tactical overrides. Then back to step one.
We don't forecast. We don't take views on valuation. We don't adjust on FOMC days or election nights. NCT is a measurement, and the same rule applies to a $250k IRA, a $50M pension, or a position we've held for ten years.
The hardest discipline is not letting conviction override the data — so we don't. It's the same four steps, repeated until they stop feeling like a choice.
No process performs in every market, and quantitative models can underperform; what we offer is a disciplined, repeatable process, not a guarantee of results. See Important Disclosures for the risks and limitations of quantitative strategies.
NCT is computed on each name in every Naviquant strategy, every market day. State changes are rule-based, not discretionary.
15-minute call. No obligation. We'll walk you through how NCT applies to your situation — individual, plan sponsor, or anything in between.
