About
Weekly, two-sleeve system: a cash fail-safe plus a momentum pick among asset‑manager stocks/SPY/gold/commodities, and a trend‑based mix that adds more stocks (even 2x) in uptrends and leans on gold/managed‑futures/international stocks when trends weaken.
It runs two sleeves, rebalanced weekly.
1) Crash guard: if the S&P 500 lost money over the last month, sit in T‑Bills (BIL). Otherwise, buy the 3 best 6‑month performers from big asset‑manager stocks plus SPY, gold (GLD), and a broad commodities fund (SDCI).
2) Trend check: if the S&P’s recent average price is above its 200‑day average, hold a stock‑tilted mix (incl. SSO 2x S&P and SPMO). If not, lean on diversifiers like gold and managed‑futures funds (KMLM/CTA), long/short equity (FTLS), and some international stocks (NTSI).
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.29; Calmar ~1.37. 18.1% annualized return with ~13.2% max drawdown and ~0.45 beta vs SPY. Strong risk-adjusted gains plus diversification from trend, futures, gold, and asset-manager exposure.
