About
A daily, concentrated bet on 1–2 large bank stocks: 70% in the most volatile name over the last two weeks and 30% in the best two‑week performer among major global banks. Highly reactive and high risk.
Each day it looks at a list of big global banks (JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Santander, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, etc.).
- 70% goes to the bank with the biggest recent price swings over the last 2 weeks.
- 30% goes to the bank with the best 2‑week return.
If it’s the same bank, it ends up all in that one. It rechecks daily.
Out-of-sample return ~57% annualized; Sharpe ~1.69 vs SPY ~1.30; Calmar ~3.0; alpha ~0.28. A high-conviction 1–2 bank stock strategy delivering outsized upside with strong risk-adjusted performance, albeit with slightly higher drawdowns.
