Leveraged etfs outperform this week

Screening Filters

1. themes: Leveraged Equities, Leveraged Real Estate, Leveraged Currency, Leveraged Bonds, Leveraged Volatility, Leveraged Commodities, Leveraged Multi-Asset

   • Purpose: Restrict the search to leveraged ETFs across major asset classes.
   • Rationale:
     • The user explicitly asked for leveraged ETFs, not regular ETFs or individual stocks.
     • These themes are standard classifications for ETFs that use leverage (e.g., 2x, 3x exposure) to equities, bonds, commodities, currencies, volatility, or mixed (multi-asset) strategies.
     • By using these specific themes, the screener avoids including non-leveraged ETFs or unrelated instruments and focuses exactly on the leveraged segment.

2. week_price_change_pct: min: 10

   • Purpose: Identify leveraged ETFs that have strong outperformance over the past week, measured by price gain.
   • Rationale:
     • “Outperformed this week” implies meaningful positive performance over approximately the last 5 trading days.
     • A minimum +10% weekly price change is a relatively high bar for a 1-week move, even for leveraged ETFs, and ensures we’re not just picking mildly positive performers.
     • This filter directly captures ETFs that have recently outpaced the broader market and most peers in percentage terms.

3. relative_vol: min: 1.5

   • Purpose: Ensure the ETFs have elevated trading activity compared to their own recent norms (i.e., are actively traded and in focus this week).
   • Rationale:
     • Relative volume > 1.0 means current volume is higher than the average; 1.5 means at least 50% higher-than-normal trading activity.
     • For “outperformance this week,” you typically want names that are not only moving in price but also seeing strong participation and liquidity, which can confirm that the move is more broadly supported by the market.
     • This helps filter out illiquid or obscure ETFs that may have moved on a few small trades, focusing instead on more actively traded, notable movers.

Why Results Match the Question

• The theme filters ensure the list contains only leveraged ETFs, matching the core requirement of the question.
• The weekly price change ≥ 10% filter targets ETFs that have clearly outperformed over the past week in price terms.
• The relative volume ≥ 1.5 filter focuses on those outperformers that also have unusually high trading activity, making them more relevant and significant examples of leveraged ETFs that stood out this week.
