“People always forget that 50% of a stock’s move is the overall market, 30% is the industry group, and then maybe 20% is the extra alpha from stock picking.”
The quote above comes from Scott Bessent, one of George Soros’s Managing Directors. While lesser known than his superior, Scott’s insight reflects my own judgement when it comes to investing.
I built my process from the ground up, bit by bit, by reading, experimenting and backtesting. Although some concepts may sound complicated, there is a lot of common sense involved. In the following guide, I hope to transfer a bit of my accumulated wisdom to you, dear reader. I will make the explanations as simple and straightforward as possible.

2026 Note: all videos contained in this guide were recorded using the Legacy (2023) version of the Signal Sigma platform. We have come a long way since then, with massive upgrades in terms of UI, functionality and metrics. However, the general investing principles outlined here remain the same. As such, this guide can serve you well, even if there is not an exact 1:1 match between the Legacy interface and our modern app.
