About
A high-risk, daily-rebalanced, multi-asset strategy that uses momentum, trend and volatility signals to tilt between leveraged equity bets and hedges across stocks, bonds, commodities and volatility. It seeks big upside during rallies but pulls back to protective positions when volatility spikes.
- Every day, the system re-evaluates a broad universe of assets (stocks, bonds, commodities, gold, currencies, and volatility/levered instruments).
- It calculates momentum signals (how much an asset has gained recently) and trend signals (price smoothed by moving averages).
- It also checks a volatility signal (RSI on a VIX-related ETF). If volatility is high, it tends to reduce stock risk and tilt toward hedges such as SPXU (short S&P 500) or UVXY (volatility exposure).
- The strategy builds several groups of assets. Within each group, it selects the strongest performers by momentum/trend rules (top assets by moving-average return over a lookback window) and assigns weights to them.
- Some parts of the portfolio use leveraged bets (e.g., UPRO for S&P 500, TQQQ for NASDAQ) to amplify gains when momentum is strong; other parts use inverse or hedging instruments to dampen risk when signals warn of trouble.
- Cash positions are allocated via proxy cash vehicles (e.g., BIL) or mixed across groups, with specific fractional weights like 25/100 or 50/100 in different branches.
- Rebalancing happens daily, so the allocations can shift a lot as signals change.
- The overall aim is to capture upside in trending markets with aggressive bets while maintaining risk controls to avoid large losses during volatility spikes. Note: due to leverage and frequent trading, this strategy is high risk and more suitable for experienced investors who understand leverage decay and drawdown risk.
Out-of-sample edge: ~47% annual return vs ~21% for the S&P, higher Sharpe (1.76 vs 1.20), lower drawdown (11% vs 19%), and beta ~0.74. A leveraged, multi-asset strategy that rides rallies and hedges during turbulence.
