About
A simple two-asset country-rotation rule: compare 30-day momentum of India vs. China ETFs (NDIA vs. MCHI). Invest 100% in the winner (NDIA if India is up, else MCHI). No automatic rebalancing."
Two ETFs compete on 30-day momentum. If India (NDIA) outperforms China (MCHI) over the last 30 days, you buy NDIA and put 100% of your money there. If China outperforms, you buy MCHI and put 100% there. There’s no automatic rebalancing back and forth in this setup — you stay in the chosen ETF until the signal changes. The score is purely based on how much the price/total return has risen recently, not on long-term fundamentals. The corridor width exists as a parameter for possible rebalancing thresholds, but with rebalance set to none, it isn’t actively used right now.
Out-of-sample edge: 24.1% vs SPY 16.3%, with 20.8% max drawdown and Sharpe 1.06 vs 0.92. Calmar 1.16 and beta ~0.52 signal stronger risk-adjusted growth—100% to the 30-day momentum winner (NDIA or MCHI).
