The Intra-Day Momentum Method™
A structured collection of analytical research focused on measurable intraday behavior.
This work is based on The Intra-Day Momentum Method™, a framework designed to define and evaluate market structure using probabilistic distance thresholds derived from the session open.
This is not a signal service or predictive model. All research is focused on observed outcomes, measurable structure, and statistical tendencies.
A Different Approach to Intraday Research
Most intraday market analysis is built around interpretation.
The Intra-Day Momentum Method™ approaches the problem differently by defining market structure mathematically first, then evaluating how price behaves once that structure is reached.
- defined probability-based levels
- measurable directional outcomes
- reversal behavior
- range expansion and extended levels
- mathematically defined pattern research
Current Research
Ongoing analytical reports based on recent market data, including quarterly, monthly, and weekly studies focused on level interactions, outcome distributions, and structural behavior.

A structured review of ML1/MS1 occurrence, directional outcomes, and reversal behavior across SPY, QQQ, and DIA.
Weekly Research Review
Ongoing review of recent level behavior, occurrence trends, and observed market structure.
Preliminary Analysis — Extension Behavior
Early-stage research focused on how markets behave after reaching initial levels and whether additional extension provides useful statistical insight.

These reports remain valuable as part of the research trail, but they should be understood as earlier work relative to the current reporting structure and methodology presentation.
How This Research Is Conducted
All studies are derived from market data and evaluated using a normalized distance framework centered on the session open.
Rather than relying on arbitrary chart intervals or purely visual interpretation, the research evaluates how price behaves relative to defined thresholds such as ML1, MS1, and extended levels.
- whether a defined level is reached
- whether price closes above or below the open after that reach
- whether the session closes beyond the level reached
- whether reversal conditions occur within the same session
- how far price extends once structure is established
This framework is designed to study outcomes, not provide guarantees.
What This Is
- A research framework
- A method for defining intraday structure
- A system for measuring probabilistic outcomes
- A structured research environment for ongoing analysis
What This Is Not
- A signal service
- A trade recommendation engine
- A promise of future performance
- A predictive black box

Where Probability Meets Structure
The objective of this research is not to promote interpretation. It is to define structure clearly enough that behavior can be studied consistently.
For those seeking a more rigorous way to evaluate intraday market behavior, this library serves as the published research layer of that effort.
