About
Monthly dual-momentum: if mega-cap trend (via XLG) is up, equal-weight the 4 strongest recent winners from a growth/AI list; if not, rotate into defensive blue chips using a blend of short/medium/long lookbacks.
Each month, it first checks market health using XLG (an ETF of the 50 biggest U.S. stocks). If XLG has been rising on average, it buys the 4 strongest recent performers from a hand-picked growth/AI list, equal-weighted. If not, it shifts to defensive blue chips, weighted by short-, medium-, and longer-term strength.
Dual-momentum with regime filtering aims to beat the S&P by riding AI/tech uptrends and shifting to defensives in downturns. Yet OOS shows high risk: -38.7% annualized return, ~30% max drawdown, and negative Sharpe. Best as a risk-tolerant satellite, not core.
