Strategy

In one sentence

Hold three assets at fixed weights and automatically restore those weights whenever they drift — a classic allocation rebalancing strategy.

Portfolio

BTC spot25%Long-term growth asset
SOXL perpetual (1x long)25%High-volatility exposure tracking the 3x US semiconductor ETF
USDT50%Dry powder for buying dips

How it works

  1. At :59 every hour the bot reads total equity and weights from the exchange (Bybit).
  2. If any asset is 2 percentage points or more away from its target, it trades the difference at market.
  3. Winners are trimmed and losers are topped up — an attempt to systematically sell high and buy low.

Weaknesses

The strategy struggles when one asset trends up while another trends down. From July to October 2026, BTC rallied strongly while SOXL lost more than half its value, so the bot trailed a simple BTC hold by a wide margin. This site records those results too.

Why publish this?

Most trading-bot marketing shows only the best stretch. The goal here is to show how a real account moves every single day and how that compares with just holding.
