About
A daily, rules‑driven portfolio that chases strong uptrends (mostly tech) with leveraged funds, but quickly defends by switching to Treasuries, T‑bills, volatility hedges, or shorts when risk rises. It occasionally adds gold/silver and emerging markets when signals favor them.
It’s a daily, rules‑based “offense + defense” system. When stocks trend up and fear is low, it buys fast movers (mainly tech via 3× Nasdaq/S&P funds). If markets look overheated or weak, it rotates into long Treasuries or T‑bills, or hedges with volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY) and market‑neutral BTAL. It can also short, and at times add gold/silver or emerging markets.
Out-of-sample edge: ~50% annualized return vs ~21% S&P; Sharpe ~1.34 vs 1.16; Calmar ~2.21. Drawdown ~22.7% vs ~18.8%. A dynamic offense/defense system that captures tech upside while hedging with Treasuries/volatility for superior risk-adjusted growth.
