About
A daily, single-stock pick from four mega-cap tech names (NVDA, MSFT, GOOG, AAPL) based on 1-day price moves. If any stock falls at least 2% today, buy the worst performer that meets that condition; if none do, buy the cheapest stock among the four. Cash is held equally for the remainder.
- Daily process picks one stock from four big tech names: NVDA, MSFT, GOOG, AAPL.
- For each stock, compute the 1-day price change (roughly today’s move). The algorithm then ranks these by the worst move (the lowest 1-day return).
- It checks stocks in a sequence: if NVDA’s 1-day return is less than -2%, buy NVDA. If not, check MSFT; if MSFT’s 1-day return is less than -2%, buy MSFT. If not, check GOOG with the same condition; if not, check AAPL.
- If any stock meets the “down ≥ 2% today” condition, the strategy buys the first one that meets it based on the sequence above (i.e., the worst among those meeting the threshold or the first in the chain).
- If none of the four dropped by at least 2% today, the strategy instead buys the stock with the lowest current price among the four.
- The remaining holdings (if any) are kept in cash with an equal weighting scheme (wt-cash-equal).
- Rebalance frequency is daily.
- The apparent intent is tactical: buy after a meaningful one-day drop or, if no such drop exists, purchase the cheapest among the four.
- Note: The label references a 52-week low, but the logic shown relies on 1-day returns and price levels rather than explicit 52-week low checks.
Rules-based 4-mega-cap picker with daily rebalance and cash edge. Out-of-sample: ~14.4% annualized, Sharpe ~0.53, Calmar ~0.30. A transparent, risk-aware complement to the S&P, though drawdowns can be larger in stress regimes.
