About
Rules-based 70/30 portfolio that flips between risk-on (leaders and Nasdaq) and risk-off (T‑Bills, Treasuries, gold, inverse Nasdaq). It uses “heat” gauges (RSI) and trends (moving averages) to buy dips, ride uptrends, and hedge downturns. Can go lightly short.
RSI = 0–100 gauge of short‑term heat (>80 hot, <30 cold). A moving average is the average of the last X days; above it = uptrend.
70% core: if indexes look too hot → split to cash‑like T‑Bills (SHV) + a mild short of the Nasdaq (PSQ). Else maybe rotate to gold (GLD). Else buy Nasdaq dips (QQQ or 2x QLD). If the S&P 500 is trending up → hold a basket of leaders (AAPL/NVDA/AMZN/etc.). If not → hedge with inverse Nasdaq (PSQ/QID) or favor bonds.
30% alts: switch between emerging markets (EEM) or its inverse (EUM) using bond‑vs‑stock strength, and own long Treasuries (TLT) when momentum is good or it’s oversold; otherwise hold SHV.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~33%/yr with ~7.5% max drawdown and Calmar ~4.4, with Sharpe ~1.9 - roughly double the S&P's return and far tighter downside protection.
