About
A daily, rules‑based “offense/defense” system. It chases strong trends with leveraged stock ETFs when markets are healthy, and quickly retreats to T‑bills/bonds, commodities, or inverse/volatility hedges when stress or downtrends appear.
It runs three playbooks (“battleships”) and puts money in the one behaving best lately. Each day it:
- Checks market stress (VIXM). If stress is hot (RSI = speed of recent moves), it hedges or goes inverse (e.g., SPXU).
- If trends are up (prices above longer averages) and growth leads, it buys fast movers (UPRO/TQQQ), ranked by recent gains.
- If trends weaken, it shifts to commodities (DBC, gold, oil, ag) when they trend; otherwise parks in T‑bills/short bonds (BIL/SHV/BSV) or Treasuries, and can use VIX or inverse ETFs.
Daily rebalance.
Out-of-sample edge: higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500, with oos Sharpe ~1.64 vs 1.20, strong upside potential and a Calmar ~4.58, with drawdowns around 21% driven by dynamic offense/defense and crash hedges.
