About
A daily-rebalanced, multi-block, momentum- and hedge-driven equities strategy. It combines leveraged stock/sector bets with dynamic hedges (bonds, Treasuries, volatility), commodity/energy bets, currency overlays, and a futures-like diversification layer (KMLM). The goal is to capture regime shifts in markets (uptrends with momentum, downturns with hedges, volatility spikes) while controlling risk through drawdown limits and regime-aware weighting.
- It’s a daily-rebalanced, multi-block system. Each block is a mini-strategy that looks at a specific part of the market: hedging, momentum in Treasuries and stocks, volatility plays, energy/commodities, and sector bets.
- For risk management, the blocks use signals like price versus moving averages and momentum metrics (conceptually similar to “is this asset trending up strongly?”) on various time windows. When signals are favorable, the block contributes a position; when signals are weak or risk is high, it shrinks or adds hedges to reduce exposure.
- The strategy uses a mix of long bets and hedges. Long bets include popular, well-known growth/tech exposures (e.g., TQQQ and TECL for high-beta tech bets) and broad stock themes (QQQ, SPY), as well as sector plays (XLE for energy, XOP for oil/gas, ICLN for clean energy, etc.).
- It also uses protective or hedging instruments: inverse/short ETFs (PSQ, SQQQ, SPXU), volatility-related ETFs (UVXY for calling out spikes in volatility, SVXY for opposite exposure), and bond/treasury vehicles (TMF for 3x long Treasuries, TMV for 3x inverse Treasuries, TLT, BND, SHY, SHV) to balance risk.
- A large portion of the logic is built around momentum and trend-following ideas across multiple asset classes (equities, bonds, energy, commodities). The system often relies on multi-window momentum comparisons (short, medium, and long windows) and uses cross-asset signals (for example, if equities look strong, a tilt toward stock bets; if volatility is rising or bonds show strength, tilt to hedges or bond exposures).
- It also layers in cross-asset overlays (e.g., a managed futures element via KMLM) to diversify away from pure equity risk. The final result is a diversified, leveraged, and hedged exposure that aims to ride trends but protect against sharp drawdowns, all updated daily.
Out-of-sample advantage: Sharpe 1.41 vs SPY 1.10, Calmar 2.71, annualized return ~62% vs ~20%. Diversified, leveraged momentum with hedging to ride trends and control risk. Note: higher drawdowns than SPY.
