About
A daily-rebalanced, cash-balanced, multi-sleeve strategy that alternates between growth-oriented equity bets (including leveraged tech exposure) and hedges based on momentum, trend, and volatility signals; includes a tech sleeve using KMLM as a trend gate.
- The strategy splits capital into multiple sleeves (groups) and rebalances daily. Cash is allocated evenly across active sleeves to avoid concentration. - Each sleeve selects positions from a curated set of ETFs and leveraged/inverse proxies to express a theme (e.g., technology, broad market, semiconductors, or hedged/alternative exposures). - Signals drive tilt: moving-average price comparisons tell you whether a price trend is up or down; RSI (momentum) gauges if an asset is overbought or losing steam; and cumulative returns vs a cash proxy (like BIL) help judge whether to stay invested or move to hedges. - Hedges (VIXY, BTAL, EDV, GLD, PSQ, etc.) are used when risk signals get loud or momentum weakens, aiming to reduce downside while maintaining some equity exposure. - The technology sleeve uses a trend-following overlay with KMLM (a managed-futures ETF) to gate or augment tech bets, often with a 20-day moving-average check and RSI filters to decide when to keep or cut leveraged tech bets. - Regimes like Bull Market, Bear Market, and Hedge are explicitly represented, with appropriate tilts and hedges applied in each regime. - The overall aim is long-term growth with built-in risk management: participate in uptrends, cut risk in drawdowns, and keep a diversified mix rather than chasing a single market move.
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher growth with superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~37% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.59, beta ~0.62. Dynamic hedges and a tech-trend overlay aim to capture upside while moderating drawdowns.
