The idea

A bot that buys growth stocks at the start of each week when conditions look good, then exits whenever things weaken.

Long-only entries at the start of each week, exiting anytime conditions weaken. Designed for patient investors who like weekly resets and automatic downside protection. Stays flat when markets look sh

Design

How it works

  1. Enters only on Mondays if price is above its 100-day average

  2. Exits any day if price drops below average or volatility spikes

  3. Stays in cash when market conditions don't look right

  4. Designed for patient investors who like weekly rhythm

Conditions

Where it works, and where it doesn't

Every strategy is built for a particular kind of market. These are the conditions this one is designed around — and the ones it is not.

Built for

  • When stock prices are climbing steadily week after week
  • When market swings are calm and predictable
  • When growth stocks stay above their long-term trend line
  • When you can wait days or weeks between trades

Not built for

  • When prices suddenly crash or gap down overnight
  • When the market whips up and down unpredictably
  • When growth stocks enter a prolonged downtrend
  • When you need quick profits — this bot is patient, not fast

The Simulation Lab

Ten bad markets, before your money is in one.

Almost anything looks good in a rising market. That is not a test. So we put the strategies listed here through the same ten bad markets, and this one has been through them. They are stretches of real market history, with names and dates: the 2022 slump, the COVID crash, a year that went nowhere. We picked them before this strategy existed.

Two of them are below. Each one shows our drawing of what that market looked like, and the rules this strategy follows when a market like it turns up. None of this is a score. What actually happened to the strategy is in your dashboard, not on this page.

A full year of lower highs as the Federal Reserve raised rates from near zero to over 4%. Four separate rallies of 10% or more along the way, every one of which failed.

When markets go nowhere

The Wild Swings of Late 2022

Violent rallies and sharp drops, ending roughly flat.

Essentially flat over six months, but by way of a 17% summer rally, a 17% autumn decline, and a 14% year-end rally. The destination was nowhere; the journey was violent.

No overnight drops in this market.

A market that ends where it started still charges you for every trade made inside it. This is where the cost of trading adds up fastest. That is why it sits in the set right next to the crash.

A sudden drop, then a full recovery within months.

These ten are the whole set. We picked them for the damage they did — the fastest crash on record, a year that went nowhere, a grind that punished every rally — not for how they make anything look.

8 of these 10 can run on the real trading days of the time they name. We model the other 2 — The Bull Run of 2016–17 and The Year That Went Nowhere. A strategy needs a stretch of history to warm up on before a test starts, and our price data does not go back far enough to give these that. So we built stand-ins that behave like those years, rather than replays of them. A modelled market is not a forecast, and it is not what would have happened. The shapes drawn above are our models of those markets — never this strategy — and they have no scale. The dates and index moves next to each one are the real figures for the period it is modelled on. Nothing on this page says how any strategy did in these tests.
