Daily Algorithmic ETF Trading Signals
Súgradh provides daily and weekly ETF trading signals generated entirely by algorithms — no discretionary trades, no opinions. Strategies use wavelet analysis and momentum indicators to time entries and exits across a curated set of ETFs. All portfolios are long-only and compatible with IRA, cash, and margin accounts. Signals land in your inbox before market open.
How Our Wavelet & Momentum Algorithms Work
Trades are long only keeping things simple and tradeable in IRA, cash or margin accounts.
Súgradh’s wavelet-based approach transpose price data into frequency bands at different time scales, generating signals when energy crosses thresholds in specific bands. Wavelets excel with financial time series because markets exhibit structure simultaneously at multiple scales: intraday volatility, daily momentum shifts, weekly reversals, and monthly directional trends.
The Sectors portfolio weights various sectors of the economy.
The Stories portfolio selects interesting momentum areas with sustained advances.
The Plays portfolio uses leveraged bets on selected ETFs with strong momentum.
The Sleep Well portfolio uses a momentum type indicator for selection with minimum variance allocation to generate weekly trading positions and is intended to be traded at the open on the first trading day of the week.
The Insomniac portfolio is simply the same as Sleep Well but using some leveraged ETFs.
The use of leveraged and un-leveraged ETFs are targeted for being cost-effective, highly liquid, and easily accessible across most brokerage platforms. All positions and adjustments are taken at the open.
What Subscribers Receive Before Each Session
While the above portfolio’s signals are available on this site, subscribers get access to these portfolios and some 8 more.
Prior to the daily trading session, subscribers get an email detailing the allocation the portfolios will transition to at the next open.
Sectors, Stories and Plays portfolios emit daily signals, while SleepWell and Insomniac trade weekly although stops are sometimes issued. The other subscriber portfolios are similar in this regard too.

Performance figures reflect live signals since April 2022. All trades are assumed to execute at the next market open following signal generation; no slippage or brokerage commissions are deducted from returns.
