The idea

Bets on US companies mining critical minerals China controls, buying momentum and selling during sector downturns.

Active buy-and-sell strategy positioned for the global race to secure non-Chinese critical mineral supply chains. China controls 94% of rare earth magnet production and has imposed export license requirements on 12 rare earth elements — the suspension expires November 2026. Meanwhile the US government is funding domestic producers with billions in grants, copper is entering a projected deficit driven by AI data center buildouts consuming thousands of tonnes per site, and lithium is recovering after a two-year price crash. This strategy concentrates in the six US-listed companies building the Western world's alternative supply chain for rare earths, copper, and lithium. It uses a systematic regime filter to move entirely to cash during sector-wide downturns and re-enters in order of momentum strength when conditions improve. Designed for investors who believe critical mineral independence is a decade-long structural shift, not a trade.

Design

How it works

  1. Focuses on six US mining companies building Western supply chains

  2. Automatically moves to cash when the sector weakens overall

  3. Re-enters trades based on price momentum strength

  4. Holds positions through uptrends, exits during sector-wide declines

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 critical mineral prices are rising steadily over weeks or months
  • When US government support for domestic mining stays strong
  • When global demand for minerals (AI, EVs, defense) keeps growing
  • When the mining sector as a whole is performing well

Not built for

  • When mineral prices crash suddenly due to economic slowdown or recession
  • When China unexpectedly eases export restrictions or floods the market
  • When the entire mining sector falls together — bot moves to cash but late
  • When prices bounce sideways for months with no clear direction
