About
A rules-driven gold strategy that flips between leveraged long/short gold and miners based on rapid-move signals, and otherwise mixes in the U.S. dollar and Bitcoin. Very high risk due to 2x funds, miners, and crypto; shifts only when signals change.
RSI estimates how fast price moved lately (high=overheated, low=washed‑out).
- If gold’s RSI >77 → short gold/miners: GLL & JDST (−2x).
- If RSI <33 → long gold/miners: UGL & NUGT (+2x).
- Else if GLD up >6.5% in 7 days → short: GLL & JDST.
- Else: if US dollar (UUP) RSI >36 → hold GLD, UUP & GBTC; else → JDST & GBTC. Shifts only when signals change.
Tickers: GLD=gold; UGL=+2x gold; GLL=−2x gold; NUGT=+2x miners; JDST=−2x jr miners; UUP=US dollar; GBTC=Bitcoin.
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.9% annualized return vs SPY ~20.2%, with low beta (~0.22) and Calmar ~1.65, delivering strong risk-adjusted upside. Accept ~21% max drawdown for diversification into gold, USD, and Bitcoin.
