About
A daily-rebalanced, high-risk, multi-asset strategy using 3x leveraged ETFs (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL, etc.) for momentum bets, paired with volatility and bond hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, SVXY, BSV, etc.) and selective ballast (BIL/IEF/USDU). Signals combine momentum indicators and price relations to decide which assets to hold, with separate Bullish/Bearish paths and nested “Pop Bot” logic. It’s aggressive and designed to ride trends while attempting to guard against bursts of volatility.
Every day the system scans a broad set of assets (mostly 3x leveraged ETFs like TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL, TECL, and hedges like UVXY/SQQQ) and a ballast set (BSV, BIL, IEF, USDU). It uses momentum-style checks (think “is this asset trending strong or overextended?”) and price relationships (is current price above a long-term average?) to decide which assets to own. If momentum signals are strong, it tilts toward the 3x growth/S&P/semis bets. If signals show risk or overbought conditions, it moves into hedges or safer positions (volatility hedges or bond/cash-like assets) and may even shift toward inverse or protective bets. The strategy uses nested groups labeled Bullish/Bearish, Pop Bots, and Bear Market/Bull Market states to organize when to add or reduce exposure. It rebalances daily, so positions are adjusted each day based on the latest signals. While the exact rules are complex and highly conditional, the core logic is: chase momentum with leverage when conditions look healthy; hedge or reduce leverage when risk indicators flare up.
Out-of-sample edge: ~56.5% annualized return vs ~22.5% for the S&P, with a Calmar ~1.60. Momentum + hedges aim to capture big trends while preserving risk-adjusted gains—though drawdowns can be larger in some periods.
