About this strategy

Welcome to Simple Portfolio Service (SPS). Our mission is to democratize access to momentum-based investing for individuals seeking returns beyond traditional robo-advisors or index funds, without the high cost of professional portfolio management. We believe markets are too complex to time consistently. Our approach removes emotion and guesswork by relying on a model-driven signaling system developed through years of research. Momentum investing capitalizes on sustained trends across sectors and has proven effective across various market conditions. During Risk-On periods, the portfolio holds aggressive positions in tech-focused leveraged ETFs. During Risk-Off periods, the strategy shifts to defensive positioning in hedges like gold, silver, and commodities to preserve capital.

What SPS offers:
- Signal-based trade recommendations you replicate in your own brokerage account
- Minimal time commitment—no daily monitoring required
- Full control—your funds never leave your personal account

SPS is not a get-rich-quick scheme or day-trading service and does not guarantee returns like all market investments.
We recommend a minimum of $15,000 and suggest allocating only a portion of your total portfolio that you're comfortable with during drawdown periods. Start conservatively and increase exposure as you gain confidence in the strategy. Leveraged ETFs carry amplified risk. A 3x ETF can lose 3% when the underlying index loses 1%. Significant drawdowns are possible, and this strategy is not suitable for capital you cannot afford to lose.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
