About
A daily-rebalanced, four-part strategy that blends Nasdaq tech exposure (via QQQ and leveraged cousins), gold (long or inverse via UGL/GLL), bonds (levered long/short via TMF/TMV and BIL), and volatility (UVXY) using momentum and trend signals to time long/short bets across these assets.
Every day the strategy splits cash evenly among four sub-strategies: Gold, Bonds, a volatility/QQQ-tilt, and a QQQ-focused strategy. Each sub-strategy scans a short list of ETFs (for example, QQQ/TQQQ/SQQQ for tech, UGL and GLL for gold, TMF/TMV/BIL for bonds, and UVXY for volatility) using simple rules based on momentum and price trends. Common checks include: is current price above or below moving averages? is momentum strong or overextended (RSI thresholds)? has recent performance moved far from a short-term mean? When signals line up, the sub-strategy buys the preferred ETF (often using leveraged versions to amplify moves) and sells or reduces exposure when signals reverse. The four parts are then combined into a single portfolio with equal cash weightings and rebalanced daily, so no one part dominates unless its signals are strong. The overall aim is to capture uptrends in tech (QQQ-related), preserve capital or profit from gold and bonds in their own regimes, and hedge or profit from spikes in volatility, all within a disciplined, auto-rebalancing framework.
Out-of-sample, this four-asset, auto-rebalanced strategy beats the S&P: ~60% annual return vs ~50%, Sharpe ~3.49 vs ~2.38, max drawdown ~5.6% vs ~6.3%, Calmar ~10.8, beta ~0.21. Higher upside with disciplined risk control.
