About
A momentum-driven, canary-guided strategy that uses leverage to chase yield in favorable markets and rotates to hedges and safe havens during stress to reduce levered drawdowns.
Starts in a default mode with moderate risk exposure. Watches for early warning canary signals and short-term RSI/timing signals. If signals say the market looks friendly, it switches to leveraged stock exposure (e.g., 3x Nasdaq/S&P). If signals warn of stress, it rotates into hedges and safe-haven assets (gold, currencies, Treasuries, commodities). A small set of assets is prioritized each cycle using momentum screens to pick the strongest safe havens. A second variant shifts tax structure and asset choices but follows the same risk-on/risk-off logic.
Out-of-sample: ~39.7% annualized return vs SPY ~22.7%, driven by selective leverage in good markets and rapid hedging in stress. Canary/RSI timing targets higher upside with balanced risk (Calmar ~0.69).
