About
Rotates among space-focused stocks/ETFs (rockets, satellites, earth imaging, EVs) based on recent performance, aiming to hold the 3 strongest names equally. Note: the current setup selects the 2 weakest instead; intended behavior appears to be top‑3.
Goal: ride recent strength in space-related names (momentum = buy what’s been going up).
Universe: ARKX(space ETF), RKLB(rockets), ASTS(satellite‑to‑phone), PL(earth imaging), TSLA(EVs), KTOS(defense/space), SPCX(SPACs), FLY(aircraft leasing), SIDU(micro‑cap space).
Each day it ranks 1‑month returns and should buy the top 3, equal‑weighted. Note: the current rules actually pick the 2 worst and only trade when weights drift ~8%; this likely needs fixing.
Out-of-sample edge: ~76% annualized return vs S&P ~32%, with Calmar ~3.17 and Sharpe ~1.18. Space-themed rotation offers strong upside across leaders and diversification; while drawdowns can be larger in stress markets.
