About
A daily 60/40 tactical portfolio: 60% rotates into S&P 500 sectors using a “too hot/too cold” gauge (RSI), going to T‑bills when overheated and buying dips when oversold. 40% is an adaptive hedge that times Treasuries and volatility, can short stocks, or sit in cash.
Simple view: 60% rotates among the 11 S&P 500 sectors (e.g., XLK=tech, XLF=financials). It uses RSI—a “too hot/too cold” meter based on recent ups vs downs. If a sector looks too hot (>80), it parks in T‑bills (BIL). If very cold (<30), it buys that sector—sometimes using a faster, leveraged fund if the trend is strong. If nothing is extreme, it buys the best‑trending sector. 40% is a hedge that flips among long/short Treasuries (TMF/TMV), long volatility (VIXY/UVXY) when stocks are overheated, short volatility (SVXY) when calm, short S&P 500 (SH) in downtrends, or cash‑like bonds (SHV/BND/BTAL). Uses leveraged/volatility ETFs; high risk.
Out-of-sample edge: a 60/40 RSI-driven sector rotator with adaptive hedges. ~49% annualized return vs ~21.5% for the S&P, higher Sharpe (1.57 vs 1.20) and Calmar (2.57), plus dynamic risk controls for better risk-adjusted upside.
