ETF constituent signal
In plain terms
For a new ETF, Alphactor looks through to the ETF's biggest holdings and lets their mature signals vote on whether the ETF should be long or in cash.
How it works
Young or thin-history ETFs can lack enough ETF-level bars for native strategy discovery, while their largest holdings have mature Alphactor champions. This family maps the ETF's top non-cash holdings to local tickers, reads their current signals, and aggregates them by ETF weight into a transparent long/cash ETF signal.

Take the user's best historical strategy for this ticker, then stack additional regime filters (VIX, sector trend, short flow) on top to clean up its bad bars.
When ETFs collectively buy more shares of a stock (creation units), the flow pressure tends to drift the price up over weeks; redemption flows do the opposite.
Stocks held by the same group of funds tend to move together, so when a stock's peer group rallies but it lags behind, the strategy buys it expecting it to catch up.
