About
A two-sleeve portfolio: 60% tactically rotates into one sector or volatility using “heat” (RSI) and strength rules—often via leveraged ETFs—while 40% flips between stock funds (ISPY/ECML) and T‑Bills based on the S&P 500’s trend.
Two parts.
60% tactical sector bet:
- If any sector’s RSI (0–100 “heat” gauge) >80, buy UVXY (a fear/volatility ETF).
- Else if any RSI <30, buy that sector, choosing the stronger of its plain ETF (e.g., XLK=tech) or its 2–3x version (e.g., TECL).
- Else pick one strong/active sector and buy its regular or leveraged ETF (sometimes SVXY, a “calm markets” fund).
40% trend switch:
- If SPY’s 50‑day avg > 200‑day, split ISPY (income S&P 500)/ECML (value). Otherwise hold BIL (T‑Bills).
Rebalance only if weights drift ~4%.
Out-of-sample edge: ~46% annualized return vs ~16% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.46 vs ~0.91; Calmar ~1.96. A rules-based sector/volatility strategy with a trend ballast targets higher risk-adjusted upside, with drawdowns ~23.5% vs ~18.8%.
