About this strategy

Broker issued leveraged 3x ETFs always loose money in long term, that is how brokers and hedge funds get sustainable income by creating these investment tools. This algorithmic system uses the same strategy and auto adjusts based on the market conditions. It uses leveraged ETFs and shorts the opposite pairs: BULL vs BEAR ETFs. Adjustments are done to keep the pairs in sync to ensure, they track each other.
System every once in a while takes profits and re-invests into most active leveraged ETFs. To ensure there is plenty barrow-able shares, system uses most active ETFs. When subscribed, ensure to join open trades as we keep them managed rather than re-entering.
I trade Gold Bear/Bull pair which happens to have good liquidity to barrow shares. The pair also has good stability in terms of avoiding jerk reactions, Gold has been fairly stable compared to market conditions which seem to be too much emotional.
System evaluates the pairs periodically and makes adjustments in the favor of market directions to maximize profits. I keep the pair at close proximity to keep the disparity low, but avoid out of cycle adjustment. It has been times, I have let the pairs off up to 50% from each other based on market conditions, they tend to stabilize in time.
Please look at the comparison chart of pair in Yahoo Finance or other interactive charts to get an idea of how the system will behave.

My expectation is fairly stable sometimes boring system which has a proven track record as it is already a tool that investment brokers heavily favor and keep generating opposing leveraged ETFs.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
