Currently the XLU trade is positive. I'll measure the totals when both trades are exited, and will keep a running tally of the percentage performance between the two models.

Without making a long analysis, I'd say that if the long trade fails, XLU will outperform IWM because it is more defensive. If the trade is a success, then IWM will outperform XLU.

Of course, selecting another ETF than XLU would lead to different results. So here, it is the long term comparison that is important.
