What Shilllihs originally asked for was a system based solely on SPY or the ^SPX index. The obvious challenge there is trade frequency, which can be improved by using the entire S&P 500 but that is a different system from what was requested.

Only through the use of leveraged ETFs that are bought/sold BASED ON signals from the ^SPX do I think this is possible - what was not mentioned was the acceptable failure rate and maximum drawdown one should expect. Getting to 50% per year requires risk of equally large losses along the way.

So we agree that by using leveraged etfs through spx as the indicator,
50% may be achievable assuming you have ballz of steel.
It seems we have enough information to make 10-15% in spy
which would translate to 50-60% in Spxl Xiv Spxu Tvix, so what
we should work on is intestinal fortitude.

Or proper positional sizing and proper entry and exit criteria. Drawdowns are part of trading, but can be managed at the expense of some profitability. This is why I tend to look at both the Sharpe and Calmar ratios for any trading system I am evaluating.
