About
A daily, rules-based U.S. equity strategy: ride uptrends in SPY/QQQ/DIA/IWM, hedge with VIXY when markets look overheated, buy brief 3× rebounds when deeply oversold, and use BTAL defensively in weak markets.
The portfolio is split across SPY, QQQ, DIA, and IWM sleeves. Daily: if a sleeve’s index is in a long-term uptrend (price > 200-day avg), hold it—unless short-term “heat” (10‑day RSI, a 0–100 speedometer) is very high across key indexes/sectors, then switch to VIXY (a volatility hedge). If in a downtrend, buy a 3× rebound ETF only when extremely oversold; else hold the index if above its 30‑day avg, or go defensive in BTAL.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~50.4% vs SPY ~18.5%; Sharpe ~1.22 vs ~1.04; Calmar ~2.24. Slightly higher drawdown (~22.5% vs ~18.8%), but far stronger risk-adjusted performance from trend-following and volatility hedging.
