About
A daily, rules-driven bet-on-one idea strategy. It surveys a broad universe of leveraged and traditional ETFs, ranks them by momentum and risk signals, and allocates almost all capital to the single best candidate each day. It uses RSI and moving-average momentum, and includes a small cash-like hedge. Expect high turnover and large swings due to leverage and hedges. Suitable only for informed investors aware of levered ETF risks.
What you do, in plain language:
- You start with a big list of possible investments, including big index ETFs (like SPY and QQQ), sector assets, and many levered or inverse ETFs.
- Every day, the system checks how strong and how risky each candidate has been recently. It uses simple gauges like RSI (a momentum gauge) and how price compares to moving averages.
- It then ranks all candidates using several rules (momentum over 10, 20, or 85 days; recent drawdowns; and how much money they would have made recently).
- The top-ranked candidate is put into the portfolio with most of the money (often 99%), while a tiny amount is kept in a cash-like asset to act as a safety ballast (about 1%).
- Some parts of the system also look for hedges (like UVXY, a volatility-focused ETF) or bearish bets (like TSLL for TSLA) when the signals suggest risk is rising.
- The process re-runs every trading day, so the asset you’re exposed to can change as signals change.
- The result is a high-conviction, one-asset-at-a-time approach that aims to ride big trends while controlling risk with a small cash/bond sleeve.
High-conviction momentum strategy aims to beat the S&P 500 in strong trends by riding the day’s top levered bet, with a small cash hedge to limit losses. Best as a risk-tolerant satellite; out-of-sample data show higher risk and drawdowns.
