About
A daily-rebalanced, multi-asset fund-rotator that uses many sub-strategies and simple rules (price trends, RSI levels, volatility, and drawdown) to pick a small set of ETFs to hold with allocated weights, aiming for strong returns with capped risk.
This is a dense, tree-style rule engine that samples a large pool of ETFs (stocks, bonds, commodities, volatility and currency-related funds). Each day it walks through many sub-strategies (e.g., Calm the Chaos, Meat Shield, SOXX RSI Machine, NASDAQ/Tech hedges, Volatility sorts, Endpoints, etc.). Each sub-strategy applies simple criteria (like price vs moving average, RSI overbought/oversold, recent return, or drawdown) to decide whether to include a given asset. Assets that pass get weights in their group; the algorithm combines groups to form a diversified, risk-aware set of holdings. It rebalances daily, using a mix of momentum, mean-reversion, diversification, and risk controls to limit drawdown while aiming for solid returns.
Out-of-sample returns ~36% annually vs S&P ~21%, via daily cross-asset ETF rotation using simple rules. Diversified, risk-controlled upside with Calmar ~0.94; expect higher drawdowns but stronger growth potential.
