Trade Intent

Own before the attention spike; trim as the IPO becomes obvious. This is the cleanest retail/thematic sentiment expression, not a fundamentals call.

Entry
  1. Buy pullbacks while 5d relative trend is positive and breadth is >60%
  2. Avoid fresh adds if relative z-score is above +1.5
Exit
  1. Trim/close into IPO attention spike or relative z-score above +2.0
  2. Exit on two-day relative reversal after an extreme move

Trade Intent

Potential source-of-funds pressure into a giant IPO allocation. Only press if mega-cap growth underperforms broadly into bookbuilding.

Entry
  1. Short only if basket underperforms QQQ during bookbuilding
  2. Prefer entry when downside breadth is broad, not one-name driven
Exit
  1. Cover by pricing / IPO day unless pressure is still accelerating
  2. Cover immediately if basket regains relative strength vs QQQ

Deletion Candidate (TBA): add once announced. Default template: 30% deletion candidate / 70% pro-rata existing displacement basket.

Trade Intent

Rebalance-flow short once inclusion timing is firm. The deletion candidate can become the highest-impact leg once announced.

Entry
  1. Activate after NDX inclusion becomes likely or is formally announced
  2. Increase focus on the announced deletion candidate once known
Exit
  1. Cover into the rebalance close / passive execution window
  2. Do not hold the forced-flow short after the rebalance without a fresh thesis

Trade Intent

Post-IPO comparative rerating short. Wait for sympathy to fade and for public satellite names to underperform SPCX/XAR.

Entry
  1. Enter after IPO sympathy fades and basket underperforms XAR/SPCX
  2. Prefer short entries with weak breadth and negative 5d relative performance
Exit
  1. Close after 10-15% relative underperformance vs SPCX/XAR
  2. Close on two consecutive relative up days or name-specific positive catalysts
Indicator Reference
IndicatorDefinitionWhy / What To Look For
5dCore basket price index return over the last five trading sessionsFast timing check. Look for short-term acceleration, reversal after a spike, or confirmation that a pullback is being bought.
20dCore basket price index return over the last twenty trading sessionsPrimary trend check. Strong 20d returns show the theme is active; very large moves raise chase and mean-reversion risk.
Rel 5dCore basket return versus its benchmark over the last five trading sessionsBest near-term signal for entry/exit timing. Positive relative 5d supports longs; negative relative 5d supports shorts or trims.
Rel 20dCore basket return versus its benchmark over the last twenty trading sessionsFilters beta/risk-on noise. Persistent positive relative performance suggests event-specific demand; persistent weakness suggests the trade is fading.
Rel z20Current relative index level versus its trailing 20-session mean, in standard deviationsCrowding/extension gauge. Above +1.5 argues for patience or trims; below -1.5 can flag washout or active short pressure.
Vol 20dAnnualized realized volatility of the Core basket over the last twenty sessionsSizing and leverage input. Rising 20d vol means reduce gross or use defined-risk options; falling vol can support larger cash exposure.
Vol 63dAnnualized realized volatility of the Core basket over the last sixty-three sessionsStructural risk estimate. Used to compare baskets and keep higher-vol themes from dominating position risk.
Above 20dShare of Core tickers trading above their own 20-session moving averageBreadth check. High breadth confirms a basket-wide move; weak breadth warns the signal is narrow or already rolling over.
Wtd ADVCore basket weighted average 20-session dollar volumeExecution capacity check. Higher ADV supports easier scaling; low ADV means use smaller sizing and avoid crowded exits.
63d VolTicker-level annualized realized volatility used in weight constructionExplains risk-adjusted weights. Higher-vol names need smaller weights unless conviction or liquidity justifies the risk.
20d $VolTicker-level average dollar volume over the last twenty sessionsTicker-level liquidity screen. Watch for names where trade size could become meaningful versus normal volume.
