About
A daily rulebook that “surfs” market waves: use 3x S&P/Nasdaq funds when trends are strong and calm, switch to dollar/gold/staples or hedges when warning lights flash, and buy dips carefully. Heavy tech tilt, quick risk‑off when needed.
Every day the strategy checks a dashboard of “traffic lights” for the market: is the trend up, is volatility calm, have we just dropped hard, or spiked too fast? Based on those signals it does one of two things:
- Green lights: lean in to growth-heavy funds tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq (often using 3x versions for bigger upside). It may pair stocks with long-term Treasury bonds.
- Yellow/red lights: rotate to a defensive mix (U.S. dollar, gold, and consumer‑staples stocks), or even short/volatility funds briefly during panics.
To size stock exposure, it tilts toward the index (S&P or Nasdaq) that’s been steadier lately. If there’s a sharp 5‑day drop, it goes defensive first (buy‑the‑dip, but safely). If prices surge in a single day, it may step back to avoid chasing a blow‑off move.
It also adds “satellite” rules that watch classic signals (Tech vs Utilities, Lumber vs Gold, bonds vs T‑bills, emerging markets’ trend, etc.) to either keep risk‑on or shift to havens. All of this rebalances daily.
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for ~27.5% annualized return vs the S&P 500’s ~17.9%, using trend-following, scalable leverage, and timely hedges to capture upside and rotate to defensives in rising risk.
