About
A daily, rules-based strategy that swings between 3x bull or 3x bear stock ETFs, a volatility spike hedge, and a bond/gold/dollar safety sleeve. It uses simple “trend and stretch” signals and interest-rate reads to seek upside while capping big losses.
Daily, it asks 3 questions: 1) Are stocks extremely hot or has volatility just spiked? If yes, hedge (UVXY) or sit in T‑Bills (BIL). 2) If not, split into S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Semiconductors and choose either 3x bull, 3x bear, or short‑term bonds based on trend and “overbought/oversold” tests. 3) A separate safety sleeve reads interest rates: it flips between long/short long‑term Treasuries (TMF/TMV), and, when conditions are calm and rates are friendly, runs a barbell of 3x S&P + 3x Treasuries; otherwise it holds gold, the US dollar, or short‑term bonds.
RSI = a quick meter of how stretched price is; high = overheated, low = washed‑out. Moving average = a trend line. Max drawdown = worst recent drop.
Dynamic, risk-aware strategy that nearly matches the S&P in out-of-sample upside (about 22.8% annualized vs 23.9%), while using volatility hedges and rate-driven sleeves to navigate volatility and rising rates.
