About
An aggressive, daily-rebalanced, levered ETF strategy that shifts between rising-momentum bets (tech/semis) and hedges (volatility, inverse ETFs, bonds) to chase performance while managing risk. It relies on multiple momentum/trend checks to pick a single best bet each day.
The strategy runs every day and looks across a big family of levered ETFs (and some bond/defense assets). It ranks candidates by how strong their recent performance looks (momentum and trend signals) and then picks the single asset that appears strongest to own. At times it flips to hedges (like volatility or inverse ETFs) or defensive assets (short-term Treasuries, gold) when signals say risk is rising. The goal is to capture big up-moves with high-leverage exposure while keeping a risk-off option ready if conditions deteriorate, all on a daily rebalance basis.
In plain terms: if the market mood is favorable for tech/semis, the system buys the top levered bet in that group; if mood shifts toward fear or risk, it shifts into hedges or safer bets; it keeps re-evaluating every day and re-allocates accordingly.
Aggressive, daily-levered momentum bets with hedges when risk rises. Out-of-sample: ~55% annual return vs ~22% S&P, Calmar ~1.40. Higher upside and strong risk-adjusted performance—balanced by larger drawdowns in volatile markets.
