Healthcare Momentum Hunter
Holds: UNH, JNJ, LLY + 6 more
This strategy focuses exclusively on the healthcare sector — one of the most resilient corners of the stock market — and looks for moments when individual stocks and ETFs shift into positive momentum before taking a position. It trades names like UnitedHealth, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Merck, Pfizer, and Thermo Fisher, alongside the broad healthcare ETF. The approach is straightforward: it only buys when a stock's momentum is pointing upward, and it steps aside when that momentum starts to fade. There's no chasing — the strategy waits patiently for confirmation before entering, and it doesn't hesitate to exit when conditions turn unfavorable. It trades long-only, meaning it profits when stocks rise and simply holds cash when they don't. A built-in cash sleeve using a short-term Treasury Bill ETF keeps a portion of the portfolio in a stable, low-risk holding at all times — so even in rough markets, not everything is exposed to swings. Individual positions also carry guardrails that can lock in gains or limit losses on a stock-by-stock basis. This strategy shines during sustained healthcare sector rallies and trending markets. It tends to sit out during choppy, directionless conditions where momentum signals flip frequently. It's best suited for investors who want focused sector exposure with a disciplined, rules-based approach to getting in and out.

For illustration only. This applies the strategy's backtested (simulated) return over the stated 5-year backtest period to your amount — it is not a forecast or a projection of future results. Backtested results have inherent limitations, do not reflect actual trading or the deduction of subscription and trading costs, and no representation is made that any account will achieve similar results. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of your entire investment.

Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment, and may not be suitable for all investors. Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can be affected by external factors such as financial, regulatory, or political events. Trading on margin or with leverage increases potential losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Results: Backtest and simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual trading, simulated results do not represent real executions and may not account for factors such as market liquidity, slippage, or execution timing. Simulated strategies are often designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that any account will achieve results similar to those shown.
