Portfolio Review — Grade: D

The current watchlist is dominated by large-cap defensive/value names (JNJ, JPM, V) that are incompatible with a momentum strategy. Recommended changes:

Remove: JNJ (defensive healthcare, low beta), JPM (financials underperforming, at 52W low zone)

Add when market stabilizes:

  • META — tends to lead tech recoveries, high beta, liquid options
  • COIN — high-beta crypto proxy, extreme momentum when BTC turns
  • MSTR — leveraged BTC exposure for crypto momentum
  • SMH (semiconductor ETF) — cleaner momentum proxy than individual NVDA when semis turn

Config change: Set watchlist_stocks = NVDA,GOOGL,AAPL,MSFT,META — keep only high-beta momentum names. When BTC/ETH weekly_trend flips to +1.0, add COIN/MSTR for concentrated crypto momentum exposure.


Priority: medium
Category: watchlist
Portfolio Summary: This portfolio is nearly fully in cash (85%) with only a single defensive JNJ position — the antithesis of an aggressive momentum strategy. Every stock on the watchlist is in a confirmed downtrend (all weekly_trend = -1.0 except JNJ), MACD histograms are negative across the board, and crypto is showing severe weakness. However, holding 85% cash in this environment may actually be the correct call — the issue is the bot is sitting in JNJ (a defensive non-momentum name) instead of either being fully flat or positioned in the strongest relative setup.

Portfolio snapshot at time of review
