Weekly Views are now Monthly Views: Here's Why

Every day, Quant Atlas scans 150+ global markets and searches for result-driven strong conviction forecasts.

The goal is not to chase every move. The goal is to identify interesting plays.

Quant Atlas is updating the way we publish our market forecasts.

Until now, our Weekly Views were published every Monday, providing forecasts with a five-trading-day horizon. Going forward, these will be replaced by Monthly Views, published near the beginning of each month and covering a forward-looking period of approximately 20 to 30 days.

The underlying objective remains the same: provide systematic, model-driven forecasts across the markets we cover. What changes is the amount of time those forecasts are given to develop. Intraday views are untouched.

The main reason is simple: five days can be too restrictive for a forecast to fully unfold.

A model may correctly identify an emerging directional move, turning point, or broader market tendency, while the actual price development takes longer than a single trading week to materialize. Under the Weekly Views format, the forecast was effectively judged within a relatively narrow window, even when the underlying market thesis remained valid beyond that period.

Extending the horizon to 20–30 days gives each forecast substantially more room to develop.

This has several advantages:

• More time for forecasts to unfold. Market moves do not conveniently obey a Monday-to-Friday schedule, despite humanity’s valiant attempt to organize everything into neat calendar boxes.

• Less sensitivity to short-term noise. A five-day period can be heavily influenced by temporary volatility, news events, or positioning effects that may obscure the broader move.

• Better visibility into the broader market path. A monthly window allows us to evaluate whether the expected direction develops over several weeks rather than focusing exclusively on the immediate reaction.

• More meaningful forecast evaluation. Instead of classifying an idea based on what happened during one particular week, the longer horizon provides more information about how the forecast behaved throughout its intended life cycle.

• Greater continuity. Each forecast remains active for longer, making it easier to follow its progression from publication through eventual outcome.

At the beginning of each month, Quant Atlas will publish a new Monthly Views spotlight containing selected forecasts for the coming 20–30 days.

Rather than replacing the forecasts every Monday, the same views will be allowed to remain active and develop throughout the month. We will then review how those forecasts evolved relative to the original expectations.

Importantly, the move to Monthly Views is primarily a change in forecast horizon and presentation, rather than an attempt to retroactively make forecasts easier to classify. The forecasts remain published in advance, with their subsequent outcomes observable as the market evolves.

Forecasting is ultimately about identifying what may happen next, but when it happens matters almost as much as whether it happens.

A five-day horizon imposed a fairly aggressive timing requirement on every forecast. Moving to a 20–30 day framework gives the models more opportunity to express the market behavior they were designed to identify while preserving a clearly defined forward-looking evaluation period.

The result is a format that we believe is more useful for following the evolution of Quant Atlas forecasts and more representative of the way many market movements actually develop.

Weekly Views are therefore becoming Monthly Views, with the first forecasts published at the beginning of each month and followed over the subsequent 20–30 days.
