About
A high-octane, rules-driven mashup that buys volatility when stocks look overheated and otherwise rotates among 3x stock funds, Treasuries, and gold using simple hot/cold and trend checks. Expect large swings and deep drawdowns.
It’s a rules-based mix that uses a hot/cold meter (RSI) and trend checks. When stocks look too hot, it buys volatility (UVXY) plus some bonds/gold. Otherwise it classifies the market (risk‑on/mixed/risk‑off) using growth vs utilities and bonds vs cash, then picks 3x tech (TQQQ) or 3x S&P (SPXL), long Treasuries (TLT/TMF) or short tech (SQQQ). Rebalances only when weights drift ~4%. Key funds: TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, SPXL=3x S&P, SQQQ=−3x Nasdaq, UVXY=VIX, TLT/TMF/TMV=Treasuries, GLD=gold. Very aggressive.
Out-of-sample: ~29% annualized return vs SPY ~17%; volatility/bond hedges cushion drawdowns; Calmar ~1.13 indicates solid risk-adjusted efficiency, offering stronger growth with controlled risk vs the S&P 500.
