About
A rules‑based, mostly market‑neutral strategy that rotates among energy/commodities, bonds, the U.S. dollar, and volatility using simple trend and “hot/cold” checks. When signals are weak, it parks in short‑term Treasuries; it can short SPY or buy volatility when needed.
It splits your money across themes (energy/commodities, bonds, U.S. dollar, volatility). Each theme has simple rules: if price trends are healthy and not too “hot,” it buys; if trends are weak or too “hot,” it moves to safe short‑term Treasuries, or sometimes shorts stocks/buys volatility. Rebalanced daily.
Key ideas in plain English:
- Moving average: the average price over a set number of days. Above a long average = uptrend; below = downtrend.
- RSI: a 0–100 gauge of how “hot” (overbought) or “cold” (oversold) recent moves are. Very high = stretched; very low = washed‑out.
- It often “parks” in SHY/SHV (short‑term Treasuries) when signals aren’t strong.
- It can short the S&P 500 (SH) or buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY) when markets look stretched.
- It uses leveraged ETFs (like TMF, UCO, BOIL) sparingly to act on strong signals.
Low-volatility, diversified macro strategy that protects capital. OOS drawdown ~6.9% vs SPY ~18.8%, beta ~0.23, Calmar ~0.97 and Sharpe ~0.83—delivering steadier, risk-adjusted gains with hedges vs the S&P 500.
