๐ŸŽฏ ETF PULLBACK SIGNAL (validated mechanical rule)


A pre-registered rule, not an ML prediction: an ETF closes above its 200-day average with 2-period RSI below 10 โ†’ buy, hold 5 trading days. The only signal in this product that cleared pre-registered kill-tests on ~30 years of history.

Signal state (as of 2026-08-20 close):
  • SPY โ€” no fire (last: 2026-07-29, 16 trading days ago)
  • IWM โ€” no fire (last: 2026-07-20, 23 trading days ago)
  • VTI โ€” open hold window, day 2 of 5 (fired 2026-08-18). Entering mid-window was not part of the validated timing โ€” informational only.
  • XLY โ€” no fire (last: 2026-06-02, 55 trading days ago)

Measured record (next-open entry, de-overlapped fires, full history):
  • SPY โ€” 268 trades since 1993: 65.3% win vs 57.9% above-trend base ยท +0.58% avg per 5-day trade
  • IWM โ€” 193 trades since 2000: 62.2% win vs 53.2% above-trend base ยท +0.69% avg per 5-day trade
  • VTI โ€” 193 trades since 2001: 64.8% win vs 57.7% above-trend base ยท +0.48% avg per 5-day trade
  • XLY โ€” 238 trades since 1998: 62.6% win vs 55.0% above-trend base ยท +0.69% avg per 5-day trade

โš ๏ธ Backtest statistics, not live trading results. These four ETFs are highly correlated โ€” simultaneous fires are closer to ONE bet than four. The 5-day hold is unprotected by design (stops and profit targets were tested paired on the same fires; every overlay cost expectancy, and the worst historical trade was โˆ’8%). The 2005-2014 era did not clear the gate. Not financial advice.

โš ๏ธ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

๐Ÿ“Š MOMENTUM INDICATORS, NOT PREDICTIONS:
The signals in this report are momentum indicators, not predictive values. They reflect current technical momentum and historical patterns, but do NOT predict future price movements with certainty. Markets are inherently unpredictable and past momentum does not guarantee future direction. Use these indicators as one input among many in your research process.

๐Ÿ’ฐ FINANCIAL DISCLAIMER:
This analysis is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. The information provided is not intended to be used as the sole basis for any investment decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal.

๐Ÿšซ NO INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
We do not recommend, endorse, or suggest any specific investments, securities, or trading strategies. The analysis provided is based on historical data and statistical models that may not accurately predict future market movements. Market conditions change rapidly and unpredictably.

๐Ÿค– AUTOMATED ANALYSIS:
This report is generated by automated systems using machine learning models. These models have limitations and may produce inaccurate results. Always conduct your own research and consult with qualified financial professionals before making investment decisions.

๐Ÿ“ˆ SCORE METHODOLOGY:
The Score column represents a composite backtest performance metric, combining Sharpe Ratio (40%), Win Rate (35%), and Information Coefficient (25%). Higher scores indicate models with better historical backtested performance, but this does NOT guarantee future results.

๐Ÿ“Š DATA ACCURACY:
While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided. Data sources may have errors, delays, or other issues that could affect the analysis.

โš–๏ธ LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
This service is provided 'as is' without warranties of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

๐Ÿ‘ค INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY:
You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and their outcomes. You should conduct your own research and due diligence before making any investment decisions. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

By using this service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these disclaimers.
