About
A cash-first, RSI-driven hedge. If short-term momentum gets extremely hot on any major ETF, the plan buys UVXY to hedge; otherwise it stays in cash, with secondary crash-recovery checks guiding profit-taking or safer shifts.
- The plan mostly sits in cash (100/100) unless a signal triggers a hedge. - It uses a 10-day RSI (momentum gauge) on many popular ETFs to spot extreme price strength. - If any of these RSI readings exceeds 79, the system moves to UVXY (volatility hedge) to guard against a sudden spike in volatility. - The checks are layered: many tickers are evaluated one after another so a single overbought signal can trigger the hedge. - If none trigger, it stays in cash. - Separately, it looks at the 200-day performance of QQQ to judge whether stocks have crashed and recovered; if conditions suggest overextension or recovery, it may suggest profits or moving to very safe assets like BIL. - Rebalancing is set to none; the corridor width is small, indicating conservative, conditional nudges rather than routine rebalancing. - Caveat: UVXY is volatile and can behave poorly in calm markets, so this is a hedged, not a growth strategy.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.69 vs 0.98, Calmar 3.28, alpha 0.77, and annualized return ~135% vs SPY ~17%. Cash-first with RSI-driven UVXY hedge; designed for strong risk-adjusted upside with volatility protection.
