I have been trading most of the high perf systems including UPRO
and SSO and other leveraged and due to diversification across many
HP systems, the accounts are up for the year even though indexes
are negative to down for the year. You win some and lose some, but
diversification helps instead of just trading only a couple of
them. If one chose all HP systems as shown below and overall
portfolio growth would have looked as follows for those dates. It's
all about growing accounts consistently and diversified. The good
thing is also that most of the time account is only around 40% in
the market. The number are impressive for each year in the
past.

Curious if I understand the gist of what you are saying. It
looks like you have a list of ~140 stocks that you trade in and out
of based on KISS signals and use equal weight for each of these
stocks. Correct?
I am showing only for the HP KISS systems. When I calculated the
return below, the count was around 56. Yes, when trading its equal
weight for each stock traded.

Sounds like you are putting all of your eggs in one basket, if you don't have many eggs like you say. Try diversifying to other stocks.
why are you trading the
Posted by vimal on 4th of Mar 2026 at 12:13 pm
why are you trading the leveraged instrument? I think UPRO is 2x right? These always denegrade over time such is their nature
Or put max 10% in UPRO and 90% in single stocks or ETFs.
The backtest etc for UPRO is simply that and systems can stop working over time irrespective of how good historical performance was
SSO is 2x and UPRO

SSO is 2x and UPRO is 3x. Seling options as been very profitable during all of this chop.

Absolutely. I have been selling MU calls on upswings and puts on downswings and that is making me good money even as the stock goes sideways.
