About
Daily, it buys 1–2 major bank stocks: 30% to the 14‑day top gainer and 70% to the most volatile. A concentrated, high‑turnover bet focused entirely on global banks/financials.
Each day it scans a fixed list of major bank stocks (JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, plus HSBC, Santander, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and key US regionals).
• 30% goes to the bank that rose the most over the last 14 days (recent top gainer).
• 70% goes to the bank with the biggest recent price swings over the last 14 days (most volatile).
If it’s the same bank, it holds only that one. Then it repeats the next day.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.69 vs ~1.30, Calmar ~2.97, and annualized return ~57% vs ~21% for the S&P. A disciplined 1-2 bank-focus strategy blends momentum and volatility for higher risk-adjusted gains and positive alpha.
