About
A rules‑based bear‑market sleeve: usually sits in T‑bills; when the S&P 500 turns bearish it mostly shorts the tech‑heavy Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ) and occasionally rides rebounds (QQQ/TQQQ), steered by short‑term “hot/cold” scores, trend, and bond signals.
First it checks for extremes: if key stock indexes look very hot (>79) or very cold (<30) on a short-term “hot/cold” score (RSI), it parks in T‑bills (BIL). If the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day trend, it also stays in BIL. If below, it mainly shorts the Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ) and sometimes flips long (QQQ/TQQQ) during rebounds. Short‑term trend (20‑day), 60‑day losses, and bond cues (TLT/IEF) guide those choices. Risk is sized by recent volatility.
Out-of-sample edge: ~28.6% annualized return vs SPY ~17.1%; Sharpe ~1.26 vs 0.97; Calmar ~2.06; max drawdown ~13.9% vs ~18.8%; negative beta (~-0.30) hedges market risk. Higher risk-adjusted upside with downside protection.
