About
A diversified, rule-based mix of leveraged stock bets with hedges and safeties designed to beat the market while keeping drawdowns in check. It uses 3x long ETFs, volatility hedges, cash, precious metals, and a dynamic selection of the top-performing leveraged sleeves, with downturn protections and daily rebalancing.
The strategy splits money into several ideas that run in parallel and are rebalanced every day. One core idea is a 3x levered long sleeve (SPXL and TQQQ) intended to capture big moves in the market, but it can shift into hedges like UVXY (volatility), BIL (short-term cash), or gold/silver when volatility or risk indicators signal trouble. A second sleeve uses several leveraged bets on big indices (QQQ, SPY, IWM and related funds) but only the top two performers over a set period are kept active, chosen by a simple past-performance rule. A third group contains downturn/bear strategies that switch into inverse or defensive assets during market stress (PSQ, SH, SPLV, BIL, etc.). The overall mix is dynamic, with explicit weights (e.g., 80% in one cluster, 20% in another, etc.), and it is designed to keep losses similar to the market while trying to push upside a bit higher. In plain terms: when markets look good, you get leveraged stock exposure to amplify gains; when risk rises, the system moves toward hedges, safer assets, or inverse bets to cushion losses; a daily rebalancing keeps the portfolio aligned with these rules. The strategy is transparent in its rules (weights, assets, and triggers are explicit), but it uses many moving parts, so it’s important to monitor for volatility of leverage and to understand the behavior of levered ETFs over time.
Out-of-sample: ~59% annualized return vs SPY ~50%, Calmar ~5.45, with a risk-controlled levered mix that hedges in volatility. Potentially stronger risk-adjusted gains; note drawdowns can be larger in stressed markets.
