Materials Momentum Hunter
Automatically buys materials stocks when they're climbing, sells when momentum dies, sits in cash otherwise.
Investment thesis
How it works
Focuses on copper, steel, chemicals, and materials ETFs
Enters positions only when price momentum is clearly positive
Exits to cash when momentum fades to protect gains
Every trade has a built-in safety net to limit losses
Works best when
- When commodity prices are rising steadily over weeks or months
- During periods when industrial demand is strong and growing
- When the materials sector outperforms the broader market
- After a clear trend starts but before it reverses sharply
Watch out for
- When commodity prices crash suddenly or decline for months
- During sideways, choppy markets where prices bounce randomly
- When industrial demand weakens and the sector stalls
- In sharp reversals where the bot exits but prices keep falling further
