About
A daily, high-risk, multi-regime strategy that uses levered/inverse ETFs to chase big moves in tech/semiconductors while hedging with volatility, bonds, and defensives; it switches tactics with market regime and ranks top-performing ideas for allocation.
- It looks at broad market state daily (is the market in a strong uptrend, overbought, or risky?).
- It groups ideas into regimes (e.g., risk-on tech/semis, defensive/bonds, volatility hedges).
- Within the chosen regime it ranks candidate assets by recent performance or strength (top pick) and allocates to it.
- It uses levered or inverse ETFs (e.g., SOXL, TECL, TQQQ, SPXL for upside; SQQQ, UVXY for hedges) and bond/defensive sets (TMV/TMF, SHY, AGG, BIL, GLD, EFA, EEM) to build a basket.
- Rebalances daily, aiming to capture big moves while managing risk through hedging positions and diversification across asset classes.
Out-of-sample edge: ~45% annualized return vs S&P ~23%, driven by regime-driven leveraged tech bets with hedges. Strong risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.14) and diversification—though drawdowns can be larger in volatility spikes.
