TT101 METHODOLOGY
How to Use TT101
TT101 is designed to help investors and traders organize market information into a repeatable decision process: Regime → Research → Setup → Risk.
Start Here in 2 Minutes
- Open the Daily Edge. It is the daily map of market regime, themes, setups, research and capital decisions.
- Read top to bottom. Regime first, then themes, structural entry windows, TT Swing, company research and portfolio risk.
- Click through when a ticker matters. Company pages hold the living research history; TT Swing explains the setup layer.
- Do not treat one label as a trade instruction. SELECT, WAIT ENTRY, M Support and TT Good RR are research/setup states inside the full process.
1. REGIME
Start with the market environment: rates, breadth, participation, volatility, liquidity and major macro/event risk. Regime sets aggressiveness and sizing tolerance.
2. RESEARCH
Ask whether the company and theme deserve capital: business momentum, revenue, free cash flow, margins, guidance, catalysts, competitive position and risks.
3. SETUP
Use TT101 setup information to assess location and timing, including TT Swing, favorable risk/reward, M Support and other structural windows.
4. RISK
Evaluate position size, concentration, factor overlap, event risk and downside before capital is committed.
The TT101 Research Lens
Hot Theme. Hot FCF. Hot RR. Hot Company.
- Hot Theme: structural relevance plus current market confirmation.
- Hot FCF: sustainable and preferably accelerating free-cash-flow growth, supported by revenue and margin quality.
- Hot RR: attractive location and risk/reward, not simply a stock that is already moving.
- Hot Company: durable competitive advantages, pricing power, differentiated products and strong economics.
TT101 does not publish the proprietary formulas behind its internal screens. The goal of this page is to explain how to interpret the research, not to reproduce the engine.
Recommended Daily Workflow
- Read the Dashboard for the current market regime and the day’s major developments.
- Open Themes to see where leadership is concentrated and where it is emerging or weakening.
- Use Stock Research to understand the business, cash flow, catalysts and risks behind each candidate.
- Check TT101 Radar for current setup context and structural location.
- Review Model Portfolio and portfolio risk before deciding whether a new idea adds useful exposure or simply duplicates an existing theme.
What SELECT Means
A research designation indicating that a company/setup currently passes the relevant TT101 research filters. It is not a personalized instruction to buy.
What WAIT ENTRY Means
The business or theme may be attractive, but the current setup/location does not yet meet TT101’s preferred entry conditions.
TT101 Vocabulary
| Regime | The market environment that determines how aggressive or defensive the desk should be. |
| CoreWatch | TT101’s primary liquid growth/FCF universe. |
| Leaders | Highly liquid institutional names tracked separately from CoreWatch. |
| Trending | Stocks showing current market momentum/participation; used for discovery, not automatic entry. |
| M Support | A monthly structural support zone used to identify attractive location. |
| Y Support | A rarer yearly structural support zone, generally used for longer-term location context. |
| TT Swing | TT101’s setup and management layer for directional state, favorable RR, breakout/hold status and position management. |
| RR(Q) / RR(M) | Quarterly / monthly risk-reward readings. Higher favorable RR means better potential reward relative to defined risk. |
| TT Good RR | A TT Swing state where risk/reward has turned favorable enough to deserve attention. |
| Direct New | A stock that entered Trending without first appearing in the structural support window. It is a research trigger, not a chase signal. |
| Graduated | A stock that moved out of a support/discovery state into a more advanced trend state. |
| SELECT | A research designation: the company/setup currently passes the relevant TT101 research filters. Not a personalized buy instruction. |
| SELECTIVE | Interesting, but with an extra caveat such as weaker location, cyclicality, macro exposure or portfolio overlap. |
| WAIT ENTRY | The business/theme may be attractive, but the preferred TT101 entry condition is not present yet. |
| FCF | Free cash flow — cash generated after capital spending. TT101 focuses on sustainable growth and quality, not just a headline percentage. |
| RV | Relative volume — a participation measure comparing current trading activity with a normal baseline. |
When a TT101 term first appears on key pages, we also use a short explanation beside it so readers do not have to keep returning to this glossary.
Important
TT101 is a research and market-intelligence service. It is not a broker, portfolio manager, fiduciary, investment adviser or personalized financial-planning service. Research is general in nature and is not tailored to any reader’s objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance or circumstances.
