About
Daily momentum rule: go long Nvidia (NVDA) when its 10-day price average exceeds its 20-day average; otherwise switch to the XLY consumer discretionary ETF. Maintain a 50/50 cash allocation with the active exposure and rebalance daily.
- Every trading day, the system checks Nvidia’s price data in USD.
- It computes two simple averages: the 10-day price average and the 20-day price average.
- If the 10-day average is higher than the 20-day average (a sign of recent upward momentum), the strategy allocates exposure to Nvidia (NVDA).
- If the 10-day average is not higher than the 20-day average, the strategy switches exposure to the XLY ETF (Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund).
- In all cases, about half of the portfolio is kept in cash (equal-weight cash), and the other half is allocated to the chosen asset (NVDA or XLY).
- The holdings are rebalanced daily to maintain the 50/50 cash-or-exposure structure and the current chosen asset.
- Tickers shown reflect USD prices: EQUITIES::NVDA//USD and EQUITIES::XLY//USD.
Simple, rule-based momentum with a 50/50 cash hedge. If NVDA shows momentum, go long; otherwise switch to XLY, with daily rebalancing. Out-of-sample annualized return about 10.2%; offers transparent diversification alongside the S&P 500.
