About
A daily-rebalanced, multi-asset, momentum-driven strategy that rides Bitcoin/crypto strength with crypto-related assets and leveraged ETFs, while using hedges and bonds when signals weaken. It blends RSI, moving averages, and risk checks to pick the top performers within groups (BTC cores, leveraged tech, biotech/ LAB checks, and hedges).
It runs every day and asks: where should I invest today? If Bitcoin and related signals look strong, it loads up on Bitcoin-related assets (coins, miners, and Bitcoin ETFs) and also uses leveraged stock ETFs to chase broad market momentum. If those signals weaken, it shifts toward hedges (short or inverse ETFs) or toward bonds and lower-volatility assets. The system uses several indicators to decide what’s strong:
- RSI and price momentum to rank assets (e.g., “current price vs moving averages” and “RSI over a window” to gauge strength).
- Moving-average returns to sort and pick top assets within a group.
- Relative strength versus other asset classes (e.g., comparing stock ETFs to bonds, biotech, or QQQ vs SPY).
- Pre-built risk checks (LAB checks) that gate keep certain groups (e.g., biotech bets) based on recent performance and drawdowns.
- A hierarchy of groups (HODL BTC, WAM FTLT Bull, LAB Bull/Bear, Bond vs Stock) with explicit weights that add up to the total portfolio.
In effect, the plan tries to capture phases when crypto/Bitcoin is in a sustained uptrend and the overall market supports leveraged bets, while gracefully reducing risk or flipping to hedges when signals turn bearish. It uses a mix of crypto proxies, tech-heavy leveraged ETFs, and select bonds to create a diversified yet opportunistic exposure pattern, rebalanced daily.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~55.5% vs SPY ~21.8%, driven by crypto-led momentum and adaptive hedges. Daily rebalancing targets strong uptrends with risk controls. Higher upside than SPY, but with larger drawdowns.
