About
Daily, tactical mix that shifts between leveraged US stock indexes, Treasuries, metals, and defensive/quality stocks. It follows trend in healthy markets, buys selective dips when weak, and can use volatility/short funds as defense.
Split the money into 4 sleeves; rebalance daily.
1) Market regime: If the total US market (VTI) is above its 200‑day average, hold the two strongest among metals, Treasuries, stock indexes or cash‑like funds. If not, either buy sharp dips (UPRO/TQQQ), hold a mixed basket (Nasdaq or Staples + income + a beaten‑down metal), or go defensive (VIX/short).
2) Consumer: buys short‑term laggards.
3) Defensive Rotator: buys 5 recently sold‑off, sturdy names.
4) Inside Knowledge: buys dips in four chosen insurers/credit firms.
Signals rely on trend, RSI (Relative Strength Index: recent up vs down days), and drawdowns.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~69% annualized return vs ~28% SPY, with ~3.5% max drawdown vs ~5.1%, Sharpe ~4.39 and Calmar ~19.7. Daily-rebalanced mix of trend, dip-buying, and hedges across stocks, bonds, and metals for resilient growth.
