About
A diversified, rule-based 2x2 framework that blends growth vs. defense and risk-on vs. cash, using momentum signals and hedges to pursue steady, risk-adjusted returns with limited volatility.
Overview (layman): The strategy runs like a rotating, four-cavor plan that chooses between two routes for stock exposure (QQQ-favored growth vs VPU-defensive) and two routes for safety (CORP bonds vs BIL cash). It uses simple momentum signals to decide which route to take, and it adds hedges if risk looks high. Quick trades favor high-volume, tight-spread ETFs; core bets shift with regimes (bullish or bearish) and are supported by protective bets (PSQ, SH, VIXY, BTAL) when needed. Rebalancing occurs within a narrow tolerance to keep risk in check. In short: check momentum, tilt toward growth or safety, add hedges when needed, and keep positions small and diversified to reduce big swings.
Out-of-sample return ~27% vs the S&P 500 ~19%, with Calmar ~1.34 and hedged risk that dampens volatility. A diversified, momentum-based 2x2 framework that targets higher upside while controlling drawdowns.
