About
A daily 5‑block rotator that buys leveraged tech on dips, holds QQQ/SPY in uptrends, and shifts to gold/treasuries/managed‑futures/cash when weak, with brief volatility hedges when markets look overheated.
Five slices (30/30/20/10/10), rebalanced daily. It shifts risk using two cues: RSI (a short‑term “hot/cold” score from 0–100) and moving‑average trend lines.
- Cold (RSI ≲30): buy leveraged stock ETFs TQQQ/TECL/SPXL/SOXL (buy‑the‑dip).
- Hot (RSI ≳80): buy volatility UVIX/UVXY (hedge).
- Else: if trend is up, hold QQQ/SPY; if not, hold defensives GLD (gold), IEI/ZROZ (Treasuries), KMLM (managed‑futures), BIL (T‑bills). Leveraged/vol funds are high‑risk and used briefly.
Out-of-sample performance shows ~20.55% annualized return vs the S&P’s ~13.05%, with a Calmar of ~2.34 and a Sharpe of ~0.89—indicating strong risk-adjusted upside. Dynamic hedges and cross-asset shifts aim to capture more growth while managing risk, though drawdowns can be larger in stressed markets.
