About
A daily-rebalanced, equal-weight strategy across global equities, with selective use of leveraged ETF bets and hedges (VXX, TLT) guided by simple trend and RSI signals to balance growth and risk.
Plain-language view:
- Start with 100% cash and decide which assets to include today. The system rebalances daily to keep roughly equal weights among the chosen assets.
- Trend gate: If SPY is trading above its 200-day moving average, the model tends toward equity exposure (SPY, VT, SPXL, and optionally TQQQ).
- Momentum/risk gates: The model watches RSI signals on certain tickers (notably TQQQ with a 10-day window and VT) and uses those to trigger hedges or shifts. For example, very high RSI on TQQQ (above 79 or close to 80) can push allocations toward hedges like VXX and/or shift exposure toward VT; very low RSI on VT (below 31 or 30) may trigger adjustments toward safer assets.
- Hedge/balance tools: VXX is used as a volatility hedge when risk signals fire; TLT (long-dated Treasuries) is used as a ballast in some conditions.
- Core diversification: VT provides global equity exposure, while SPY and SPXL/TQQQ provide US and tech-oriented equity tilt with leverage potential when signals are favorable.
- Outcome: A diversified, long-term oriented mix that adapts to trend and momentum signals, with daily rebalancing to keep equal weights across the active assets.
Out-of-sample, this daily equal-weight global-equity strategy delivers roughly 31.5% annualized return with ~9.5% max drawdown, Sharpe ~1.76, Calmar ~3.32, and beta ~0.72—versus the S&P ~19.4% return and ~16.6% drawdown.
