Fixed 70/30 long/short bet on semiconductors using 3x ETFs SOXL and SOXS; no auto-rebalance; 45-day lookback; high-risk levered exposure to the sector.

You invest 70% of your cash in SOXL and 30% in SOXS. SOXL is designed to go up roughly 3 times as much as the semiconductor index on a daily basis, while SOXS goes up when the index goes down (it’s a 3x bear fund). Because you hold more in SOXL than in SOXS, your overall exposure is a net tilt toward semiconductors that is amplified by leverage. If the semiconductors rise, SOXL tends to push your portfolio up strongly, and SOXS hurts a bit, but the net effect is a gain. If semiconductors fall, the opposite happens and your portfolio tends to fall as well, though the loss is tempered by the smaller 30% allocation in the bear fund. There is no automatic rebalancing of the 70/30 mix; the system notes a 10% corridor, but with rebalance set to none, changes would have to be made manually. The 45-day window is a built-in lookback used by the setup for evaluation, not a trigger for automatic trading in this configuration. Important caveat: these are daily-reset leveraged ETFs, which can behave very differently from simpler investments over longer time frames due to compounding and market volatility.

Semiconductor-tilt strategy: fixed 70/30 levered long/short (SOXL/SOXS). Out-of-sample: 35.6% annualized return vs SPY 20.3%, but with larger drawdowns (~55.6% vs 18.8%) and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe. No auto-rebalance; 45-day lookback.
