About
A binary, momentum-based bet: go levered long semis (SOXL) when SPY looks extremely oversold on a 2-day RSI; otherwise, move to defensive staples via XLP; no regular rebalancing and full exposure to the selected ETF.
Here's what happens in plain language: The system watches SPY (the broad stock market). It calculates a momentum score called RSI using only the last two trading days. If that score is below 10 (very oversold), it buys SOXL, an ETF that aims to triple the daily moves of semiconductors. If the RSI is 10 or higher, it buys XLP, an ETF that tracks consumer staples (think toothpaste, groceries—things people keep buying). It allocates all available capital to the chosen ETF (no mix), and there isn’t a regular, preset rebalancing schedule. The signal is a quick, short-term decision rather than a long-term investment plan.
Out-of-sample: ~35.6% vs SPY ~20%; Calmar 0.88, Sharpe 0.84. Binary momentum: SOXL on SPY oversold or XLP otherwise—100% exposure. Higher upside than the S&P, but larger drawdowns (~40%).
