About
A daily, rules-based mix: ~30% aims for tech/S&P upside or buys sharp dips; ~70% hedges by rotating long/short long‑term Treasuries and adding VIX “fear” hedges when stocks look overheated. Guided by simple trend gates and an overbought/oversold score (RSI).
Two sleeves: offense (~30%) and defense (~70%). Uses trend gates (e.g., SPY above 200‑day?) and a simple “heat” score, RSI (0=cool/oversold, 100=hot/overbought). Offense buys leveraged tech/S&P on sharp dips and adds VIX “fear” hedges when stocks look too hot. Defense flips between long (TMF) and short (TMV) long‑term Treasuries, adds VIX hedges in euphoria, or parks in cash‑like funds. Examples: TQQQ/UPRO/TECL=leveraged stocks; UVXY/VIXY=VIX/fear; TMF/TMV=long/short bonds; GLD/SLV/DBC=commodities; SHV/BIL=cash‑like.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~34.92% vs SPY ~17.71%; Calmar ~1.49 and Sharpe ~0.91—more return with disciplined risk controls. A two-sleeve system blends tech upside with bond and volatility hedges to limit crashes.
