About
A daily, rules-based strategy: dodge panic in T‑bills, buy quick dips with 3x equity funds, and otherwise rotate among stocks, long Treasuries, commodities, the US dollar, and dividend/managed‑futures ETFs using medium‑term trends and volatility-aware sizing.
Step 1: If a market fear gauge is spiking, it parks in T‑bills (BIL). Step 2: Otherwise it splits into three sleeves (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, semis). In each: if a short‑term “hot/cold” score says red‑hot, it buys a vol hedge (UVXY); if washed‑out, it buys a 3x bull (UPRO/TQQQ/SOXL); else it uses ~6‑month trends to rotate among CURE/TMF/DBC/USDU or SCHD/NOBL/DBMF, giving more weight to steadier picks. Stock/bond checks can force defense. Daily; high risk.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~41% annualized return with a 1.53 Sharpe, outperforming the S&P 500 (~21% return, ~1.33 Sharpe) while limiting drawdown to ~17.6% (vs ~18.8%). Higher Calmar indicates stronger risk-adjusted upside.
