About
A safety‑first, rules‑based “cash runner” that treats very strong momentum as a warning. It mostly hides in T‑bills, sometimes adds defensive BTAL or gold, and has a volatility‑spike alarm. Here, hedge slots are cash, making it ultra‑conservative.
It watches for “overheated” markets using RSI (a 0–100 speedometer of recent price moves; high = overheated). When big indexes/sectors flash high RSI, it mostly parks in BIL (T‑bills), sometimes adds BTAL (defensive) or GLD (gold). A UVXY/VIXY alarm flags volatility spikes. In this build, hedge slots are set to BIL, so it stays very cash‑heavy. Rebalances daily.
Ticker key: BIL=T‑bills, BTAL=defensive, GLD=gold, UVXY/VIXY=volatility, SPY/QQQ=US stocks, XLF/SMH/RETL=sectors.
Out-of-sample edge: a cash-heavy, risk-aware approach that preserves capital and outperforms the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis. oos Sharpe ~19.6 vs SPY ~1.0; oos max drawdown ~1.1% vs ~18.8%; near-zero beta with upside when markets cooperate.
