The story

It started with a book: How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil. I read it, then started following Investor's Business Daily — the website, their Twitter/X account, YouTube channel. Market conditions, follow-through days, cup-with-handle, flat base, base-on-base. I absorbed all of it.

One problem: every example was an American stock. AAPL, NFLX, NVDA. Nobody was applying this to the Thai market.

That question — does IBD methodology work on SET stocks? — is what started this project. Not a hunch. A testable hypothesis. I ran it across decades of Thai data, built a proper walk-forward test, and published what I found — including the things that failed.

Two pillars from IBD that I'd never seen anyone implement in Thailand:

The quote that changed how I think about stocks: "A good stock is a stock that goes up." It sounds obvious. It isn't. A great company whose stock isn't moving is not a good stock to own right now. The price action is the signal.

There was one barrier that stopped me for years: I couldn't code. Building a proper database, writing a scanning system, running backtests — I didn't have the technical skills to do any of it. When AI tools became capable enough to help me build what I'd been imagining, this project finally started. This site is the result of that accumulated knowledge — and the beginning of what I'll continue learning.

What this is

MOE = Make Odd Even. The market is odd — unpredictable, noisy, seemingly random. The job is to make it even: use statistics and tested edge to shift the math in your favor. Then keep the asymmetry: cut losses short, let winners run. The odds stay uneven — in your favor.

MOEasymmetry is a quantitative trading research project built on IBD methodology applied to Thai stocks. I study the SET + MAI universe using CANSLIM-inspired screening — with walk-forward testing, bootstrap confidence intervals, and honest publication of what fails.

Track. Study. Wait. Strike.
Not: "find the hottest tip and bet big."

The method

The foundation is IBD's CANSLIM framework — adapted and tested for Thai market conditions. The two factors that matter most in practice: M (don't fight the market) and L (only buy leaders, measured by RS Rating ≥80).

Within that, I use one setup: the contracting-base breakout. A market leader builds a tight base with higher lows, then breaks out of a recovery-high pivot on expanding volume. One entry rule, one stop rule, one trailing rule. Rigorously tested across 36 years of Thai data.

The research philosophy

Every claim I make has been tested. Not just "backtested" in the optimistic sense — walk-forward tested (out-of-sample), with bootstrap confidence intervals, checked year-by-year for consistency. I have a growing list of things I was sure would work that failed every one of those tests. I publish those failures too, because the map of what doesn't work is as useful as the map of what does.

What this is not

The transparency principle

Every article links to the methodology. Every claim has a source. The live track record is public and unedited. When I find something that doesn't work, I publish it — because the map of what fails is as useful as the map of what works, and because a research project that only publishes wins is just marketing copy dressed as research.

Timeline

Currently in paper trading (two live systems since late 2025). Planning to deploy real capital in my own account around January 2027, after a career transition. The paper period is the validation runway, not a waiting room.

The plan: become the most honest quantitative trader in Thai retail. Publish the full methodology. Show the real track record. Let the evidence speak.
