Short UGAZ / DGAZ threshlold rebalancing

Please comment on this strategy. The strategy goes short on both UGAZ (30%) and DGAZ (70%), re-balancing is done when one of the short position exceed 20% of the re-balancing threshold. This strategy has a directional bias (bullish NG) but also profit from the decay of leveraged ETFs.

Here is my follow up on the my previous algo. I added an EWMA to determine the direction of the trend, so algo will have a bullish or bearish bias depending on the direction of the trend.
Unfortunately , Quantopian data is not adjusted for UGAZ slpit, so the backtest goes back only to Sep 2015.

here is the backtest for the period before split (sep 2015) and longer EWMA (16/64)
