About this strategy

Holds the S&P 500 and, on the weekends a franchise tentpole opens, moves part of the book into the theater chains, selling at the first session after the box office numbers are in.

How it works

  1. Agent triggers

    Triggered daily at 3:30 PM. It runs each time a franchise tentpole movie opens over the weekend.

  2. Computes its signals

    It reads the movie release schedule, focusing on films with prior openings over seventy million dollars. It decides when to shift from the S&P 500 ETF to theater chains based on these openings.

  3. Sets the target portfolio

    The target portfolio consists of a mix where up to 40 percent is allocated to theater chains. This includes specific percentages for IMAX, Cinemark, and AMC, while the remainder stays in the S&P 500 ETF.

  4. Executes orders

    Your account trades toward that target mix, selling theater chain shares before buying new positions, inside the platform's risk rails: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
