About
A high-risk, daily-rebalanced strategy that rotates among levered ETFs (notably semiconductors, tech, healthcare, staples, and metals) using RSI and momentum signals, plus bond/cash risk checks, to chase outsized gains while attempting risk controls. Expect big swings and frequent trading; suitable only for aggressive traders comfortable with leveraged exposure.
- The strategy trades a defined set of leveraged ETFs (for example, semiconductors, technology, healthcare, consumer staples, and precious metals) and some bond proxies.
- It looks for short-term momentum signals. A common tool mentioned is RSI (a measure of how rapidly prices have risen recently) and relative strength (how an asset has performed vs. peers over a window).
- It screens a few groups of assets and, based on the signals, selects one or more to hold. In some parts of the logic it favors the asset with the weakest RSI (a contrarian flavor) or the strongest momentum, depending on the branch.
- There are explicit pathways to go long levered equity/sector bets when conditions look favorable, and separate pathways to use bear or inverse ETFs to hedge or take advantage of down moves.
- Some checks compare bond-market signals (via short- and intermediate-duration Treasury funds and inflation-protected cash-like ETFs) to determine whether risk assets should be favored or avoided; this is meant as a risk filter rather than a pure beta bet.
- The system rotates daily, aiming for outsized gains in favorable regimes but accepting large drawdowns in adverse regimes, with a particular emphasis on semiconductors and related tech/consumer-staple exposures.
- Notable asset names in the strategy include levered plays on semiconductors (e.g., SOXL, SOXS, SQQQ, TECL), precious metals (UGL, AGQ), consumer staples (UGE), healthcare (CURE), and Treasuries (TMF), along with various bond/cash proxies (e.g., SHY, IEF, VTIP, BIL).
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats SPY on risk-adjusted gains: Calmar ~8.9, Sharpe ~2.37, and ~287% annualized return vs ~28% for SPY. Levered sector bets with risk filters offer big upside, with higher volatility and possible drawdowns in tough markets.
