About
A multi-regime, leverage-aware portfolio that switches between aggressive, bear, and volatility-driven baskets. It uses RSI and moving-average signals to select assets (SPY/QQQ, SMH, and levered/hedged funds like UVXY, SPXL, SQQQ) and applies layered hedges (BIL, SHY, UUP) to align with market mood and volatility.
Think of this as a multi-mode trading plan that decides which game to play depending on how the market feels. It uses simple signals (RSI and price trends) to pick a regime, then buys a mix of ETFs to fit that regime. In calm bullish times it favors leveraged bets on broad indices (SPY/QQQ with 2–3x exposure) to capture upside. When volatility spikes or momentum looks extreme, it deploys hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, SPXU) and safe-bond or dollar-positioning (BIL/UUP/SHY) to protect capital. Across layers, it also chases sector bets (like SMH for semiconductors) with rules for which assets to pick (Bottom 1, Top 1, etc.) and how to weight them. The strategy constantly tests various conditions: RSI thresholds, moving-average comparisons, and price vs. 200-day lines to decide whether to hedge, tilt long, or rotate into bear/volatility baskets. The result is a set of regime-specific portfolios that change over time, aiming to profit in strong trends while limiting losses in drawdowns. Important: this uses levered and inverse ETFs, which are high-risk and not suitable for all investors, and requires active management.
Out-of-sample performance shows higher upside with solid risk control vs SPY: annualized return 42.7% vs 23.4%, Calmar 1.48, Sharpe ~1.36, and beta ~0.71—delivering more growth with lower market sensitivity.
