The Wednesday night signal shows to enter $UVIX at tomorrows open.
Out of the 494 currently tradeable levered ETFs/ETNs available, $UVIX showed the best score from the model going into tomorrow at 12.8. That is not a very good score from the model… however, no other levered ETF or ETN is currently fitting in the model’s criteria for what is considered “tradeable” right now.
So, the plan tomorrow is to enter $UCO at the open and set the stoploss at 14% under the open price. Typically, when the model resorts to a volatility trade, it only is held for one day. So this one requires you to be diligent with the entry and the stop.
Today, the last three years of backtesting the model shows insane outperformance compared to $SPX. The trade that got stopped out isn’t being counted in this yet, but even without that it is hard to find something that beats the three-year CAGR of 487%.
The backtest that includes ALL history since levered ETFs/ETNs have existed shows incredible outperformance too. The CAGR of 69% is much lower than what is shown on the three year time frame and is a level that I personally believe to be more reasonable. However, since more and more levered products have hit the market (over half of the currently tradable levered products were created in the last 2 years), the model has had more tradable options, and the growth of the models CAGR overtime tracks with the growth of tradable products very well.
Either way, both performances are great and I would be happy achieving either with my own money! Which is why I am putting my money where my mouth is and have been trading my own portfolio on my model since 2/20/2026, with live trade tracking on SavvyTrader. The performance is up just about 15% in roughly a month of trading. So far so good!
You'll see my trade tomorrow morning at the open for a 100% $UVIX position. Have a good night!
