About
A daily-rebalanced, multi-asset approach that shifts between cash-like safety, stocks (including levered bets), bonds, gold, and hedges based on momentum signals, aiming to grow when markets cooperate and protect on downturns.
RSI is a momentum measure that helps decide if an asset has upward or downward price momentum. When signals across many assets align, the strategy tilts toward growth (levered stock ETFs) or safety (BIL, bonds, hedges). It also uses relative strength comparisons (is SPY stronger than GLD or EEM?) to rotate between U.S. equities, gold, and international/alternative exposures. The plan includes a “BIL Replacement” rule to boost cash-like exposure when risk signals are high, and a “Bottom 2 | 1.5x” rule to overweight two strong levered ETFs when conditions look favorable. It allocates across a broad mix of assets (stocks, leveraged equities, gold, bonds, volatility/ tail-risk funds, and a Bitcoin ETF) and rebalances daily to keep in line with the signals.
Dynamic, risk-managed multi-asset strategy rotates cash, bonds, gold, hedges, and leverage. Out-of-sample drawdown ~1.8% vs SPY ~5.1%, with strong risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ~2.68, Calmar ~6.21)—offering resilience and diversification beyond the S&P 500.
