Quick Summary

What Is ETFReplay?

ETFreplay is a research and backtesting website focused on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Its core value is helping you build a repeatable process by testing common rule families like relative strength rotation, moving average timing, and portfolio-level strategy variations.

In plain English: it’s where you go to answer, “If I followed this ETF rule set for years… would it have held up, or would it have face-planted the first time the market got spicy?”

What It’s Good At

• Relative strength rotation testing: compare ETFs and rotate into the strongest candidates on a schedule.
• Moving average timing rules: test single MA or crossover-style timing approaches on ETFs or portfolios.
• Portfolio backtesting: test allocations and rule sets at the portfolio level, not just one ticker at a time.
• ETF analysis tools: useful supporting tools like charts and risk/relationship views help you understand behavior, not just returns.
• Process mindset: the platform is designed around “test, refine, repeat” rather than one-off screenshots.

How Yield Raiders Use It

Let’s be honest: dividend capture isn’t usually lost on “the dividend.” It’s lost on the price action and the timing. ETFReplay helps Yield Raiders on the “rules and risk” side.

• Build a “risk-off” filter: use timing rules (like moving averages) to avoid doing aggressive captures during downtrends.
• Test ETF rotation buckets: if you capture on dividend ETFs, you can test whether rotating among a set of ETFs improves consistency.
• Reduce drawdown drama: backtests make it easier to see if a rule reduces drawdowns or just makes you feel safer.
• Stop “strategy thrash”: once you’ve tested a rule set, you’re less likely to rewrite your plan after one bad week.

“ETFreplay won’t tell you what to buy tomorrow. It helps you stop changing the rules every time your feelings change.”

Watch-outs

• Not a dividend calendar: it’s not built around ex-div dates and capture windows. Pair it with a dividend dates tool.
• Backtests are models: results depend on assumptions and the strategy definition you choose.
• Easy to overfit: if you tweak parameters until the past looks perfect, the future tends to laugh at you.
• No execution: ETFReplay is research/backtesting, not a brokerage.
