Why it might work
A fast shock brake may reduce exposure before a slow trend filter reacts.

The idea
How it works
Combines a long-trend TECL position with rapid exits after sharp XLK losses and a staged recovery entry.
When it invests
Enter up to 99% TECL in a healthy XLK trend; after a shock and cooldown, re-enter at 49.5% or 99% depending on recovery confirmation.
When it exits
Exit on a sharp one- or five-day XLK loss, a large opening gap, or a broken trend; a recovery sleeve has a faster 100-day trend exit.
What can go wrong
- TECL is leveraged and can lose value quickly, including while an exit signal waits for its next execution window.
- This candidate failed the study's qualification gates despite its simulated return.
