About
Rules-based, two-sleeve ETF strategy: times short-term “pops” with RSI/VIX to rotate among 3x stock funds, volatility hedges, and cash, while a second sleeve holds monthly dividend ETFs unless markets hit extremes.
Two sleeves. Uses a hot/cold meter (RSI: 0–100; >70=hot, <30=cold) and the fear gauge (VIX). When markets look washed out, it buys 3x funds: S&P 500 (SPXL), Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ), semis (SOXL). When they look too hot, it briefly owns volatility (UVXY) or hedges (SQQQ/SPXU). Otherwise it parks in T‑Bills/bonds (BIL/BSV). The dividend sleeve holds monthly‑pay ETFs (SPHD/PEY/DHS) unless extremes trigger the same pop trades. Main exposures: tech/Nasdaq, semis, broad US stocks; value‑tilted dividends.
Out-of-sample: ~54% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.29, Calmar ~1.72—risk-adjusted performance vs S&P 500. Two sleeves harvest short-term pops with 3x ETFs, hedges, cash, and dividends; drawdowns are larger (~31% vs ~19%).
