The eleven sectors
All eleven Select Sector SPDR funds passed an indicative $100m average daily dollar-turnover screen over the 20 sessions ending 9 October 2026. That selection check is dated; current turnover and price dates appear below.

“Leading” means above its 50-day average and ahead of SPY over both 20 and 60 sessions. “Lagging” is the reverse. “Improving” means above the 50-day average and ahead over five sessions, without the full leadership test. Other combinations are mixed. A date mismatch is never promoted to a current reading.
02 / OUTSIDE THE INDEX
Commodity context
These funds are not S&P 500 sectors. They help test inflation, input-cost and defensive narratives. Their fund structure and futures roll can make returns differ from the spot commodity.

Use sector evidence without crowding the book
A stock can be attractive on its own chart while the portfolio is already full of similar risk. Sam should check this before proposing any new simulated holding.
- Count names first. At most 2 open stocks in the same GICS sector. A third name is a holdout, even if its ETF leads. Count proposed fills against existing holdings before the next open.
- Check size and loss budget. Keep a sector at or below 25% of portfolio equity by gross notional and 1.5% of equity by combined entry-to-original-stop risk. Use the stricter constraint.
- Demand both views. A current leading ETF can support a stock setup only when the stock has its own verified 4H trigger, dated news and acceptable risk. A lagging ETF calls for a written exception or no new entry; it is not by itself an exit instruction.
- Respect clusters. Review industry overlap inside a sector, particularly semiconductors. Existing holdings above the new cap are frozen for additions and reviewed with dated decisions; no sale is backdated or automatic.
This selection rule governs future model proposals. It is not a broker control or an automated rebalance. Sam must record the sector ETF date, portfolio counts, notional, stop-risk and any exception with each proposed fill.
