About
A fast, two‑day trend chaser. From sector ETFs, major index funds, gold, cash‑like T‑bills, and select stocks, it picks the 10 strongest very‑recent gainers, then tilts money toward the calmer ones (inverse volatility). Includes a leveraged ETF, so risk can spike.
- Starts with a menu of sector funds (like Tech, Energy, Health Care, Utilities), big index funds (QQQ, ARKK, IWM), gold (GLD), cash-like T‑bills (BIL), and well-known stocks (AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, GOOGL, etc.).
- Each day it scores very recent (last ~2 days) price strength using a 2‑day “smoothed” price (EMA) that emphasizes the latest moves, then picks the top 10.
- It puts more money in the calmer picks (lower recent bounciness) and less in jumpier ones.
- It only trades when picks change or weights drift >0.25%.
Chases ultra-short momentum with inverse-vol weighting to diversify risk. Out-of-sample shows negative returns (-8.3% annualized) and larger drawdowns (16%), so this is a high-risk satellite strategy, not a core S&P replacement.
