About
A daily-rebalanced, modular equity strategy mixing momentum/trend picks (megacap tech leaders), selective screens, and volatility hedges (UVXY/SQQQ) with equal-weighting within modules to adapt to different market regimes.
Think of it as several small scouts that vote on what to own each day. One scout ranks mega-cap tech names by recent performance and buys the top two. A separate scout looks at volatility-related ETFs (like UVXY) and uses RSI and moving-average checks to decide whether to tilt toward or away from volatility hedges. Another scout uses levered tech ETFs (like TQQQ) and related hedges (SQQQ) to ride or defend momentum. A third scout screens a few mega-cap names (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA) by short-term moving-average return and briefly concentrates on the winner. Every asset chosen by any scout is given equal cash weight within its module, and the module results are combined into the final portfolio. The system rebalances daily, so positions can change as signals evolve. The aim is to blend trend-following (momentum), selective stock leadership, and volatility hedges to navigate different market regimes. RSI is used as a momentum/overbought indicator, moving averages help judge trend strength, and top-N screens enforce a bias toward recent leaders. The exact assets can include well-known names (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, META, TSLA) and proxies like SPY, UPRO, TQQQ, SQQQ, UVXY, SVXY, SHY, BIL, TECL, XLP, XLC, XLE, etc. The entire framework sits under a broad EQUITIES classification and is designed to be run with daily cadence and cash-equivalent weighting within modules.
Adaptive, modular strategy blending mega-cap momentum with volatility hedges and daily rebalances. Out-of-sample Calmar ~2.02 and ~31.7% annual return—strong risk-adjusted upside vs SPY, with higher drawdowns in crises.
