About
A two-part, daily-rebalanced strategy: pick 2 tech leaders (AAPL, NVDA, GOOG, TSM) via a 20-day momentum screen and volatility ranking; split risk with a safety/risk-management sleeve using BIL, UVXY, TMF, USDU, and related ETFs to tilt toward or away from risk based on RSI/momentum signals.
- The strategy has two main parts: a tech-stock core and a risk-management sleeve.
- Tech core: from AAPL, NVDA, GOOG, and TSM, it keeps only those with positive momentum over about 20 days (momentum > ~1%). It then ranks these by a volatility-based score and takes the top 2, assigning them equal weight.
- Risk sleeve: a separate set of rules uses signals from broad market proxies and volatility/bond/dollar ETFs (e.g., UVXY, BIL, TMF, USDU, TECL, SOXL, SVXY, VIX-related funds) to decide whether to tilt toward safety (cash-like/short-term bonds, USD) or remain exposed to risk assets.
- Rebalancing is daily, and the overall portfolio is exposed to large-cap tech and related risk-management instruments, with a defensively tilted portion when signals suggest overbought conditions or increased risk.
Two-sleeve strategy captures tech leadership with a dynamic risk hedge. Out-of-sample returns are near SPY (≈17.3% vs 18.1%), with hedging adding diversification in choppier markets—though volatility can be higher.
