About
A fast, tactical strategy: hedge with VIX funds when markets get too hot, buy leveraged index/sector funds on sharp dips, keep a small core when calm, and rotate to gold/bonds/dollar when stress rises. Hedges are scaled up as froth builds.
It reads market mood with a short-term RSI (a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves; >80 is overheated, <30 washed‑out).
- Too hot: buy VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY/VXX/VIXM). The hotter it gets, the stronger the hedge (up to heavy UVXY).
- Washed out: buy 3× bull funds for bounces: SPXL(S&P500), TQQQ(Nasdaq), SOXL(semis), LABU(biotech), TECL(tech).
- Normal: core mix TQQQ+FAS sized by stability.
- Stress: switch to GLD+TMF+UUP. Between calm and hot, pre‑hedge with BTAL or T‑bills (SHV/BIL).
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~15 vs SPY ~1.4, near-zero beta, and controlled drawdowns through hedges. A dip-driven, tactical strategy that combines opportunistic levered bets with protective VIX/defensive assets to outperform the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis.
