About
A daily-rebalanced, cash-equal, rule-based mix of crypto exposure and leveraged ETFs, driven by short-term momentum (RSI) and moving-average signals, with volatility hedges and defensive assets as fallbacks. High risk, potentially high reward; back-tested claims may not hold in reality.
- Start with a small, fixed 5% of your portfolio allocated to this strategy (the “BTC V2” group). The rest remains in cash or other assets outside this description.
- Every trading day, rebalance to reflect the current signals from a decision tree.
- Inside the BTC V2 group, the strategy tests a series of conditions using simple metrics on several assets. The first major branch checks whether the 10-day RSI of a related asset (like TQQQ) is below 31; if true, it tilts toward TECL (a 3x tech ETF) as a high-risk bet.
- If that first condition isn’t met, the next branch looks at UVXY (a volatility ETF) and checks whether the RSI(10) of QQQ (Nasdaq) is above 80; if so, it tilts toward UVXY as a hedge.
- If that also isn’t satisfied, further branches check other dynamics (e.g., a GBTC price relationship via a moving-average cross: EMA(9) vs SMA(24) for Bitcoin exposure; if EMA is above SMA, it may tilt toward GBTC, which is a crypto exposure vehicle).
- Additional layers conditionally include SHV (short-term Treasuries) as a safe-haven or cash-like proxy, and IEF (mid-term Treasuries) or PSQ (short Nasdaq proxy) depending on the signals.
- In effect, when rules fire, weights are assigned (one branch shows an 80/100 weight in a sub-branch), pushing most of the 5% allocation into the chosen asset(s); when rules don’t fire, that portion remains in cash or is allocated to the fallback assets.
- The overall intent is to chase short-term momentum in crypto and leveraged tech exposure while using volatility hedges and defensive assets to limit drawdown.
- The strategy emphasizes a highly conditional, trend-following approach rather than fundamentals, and it relies on a limited set of tickers with relatively high risk/return profiles. It is important to note that the described back-tested performance is not guaranteed and past results do not ensure future success.
High upside: ~30% annualized out-of-sample vs ~20% for the S&P, with a disciplined 5% momentum crypto/levered mix and hedges. Expect larger drawdowns (~28%), but a solid risk-adjusted upside (Calmar ~1.08) for patient investors.
