About
A rules-based, multi-sleeve plan: fade overheated markets with UVXY, otherwise rotate among Tech, Treasuries, Gold, or inverse QQQ based on trend and risk signals. A smaller sleeve uses leveraged ETFs for faster swings. High risk; highly tactical.
It splits your money into three rule-driven sleeves.
- If big stock indexes look very hot short term (RSI is a “heat meter”), it buys volatility (UVXY) plus some Treasuries (TLT) and Gold (GLD), expecting a pullback.
- If not hot, it rotates: Tech/growth in uptrends; Treasuries/Gold or inverse QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ) in downtrends.
- A smaller sleeve trades faster with leveraged ETFs (TQQQ, TMF/TMV) using simple trend/heat rules.
Rules-based, multi-sleeve strategy delivers higher growth with lower risk: out-of-sample return 21.1% vs SPY 17.4%; max drawdown 15.7% vs 18.8%; Calmar ~1.34. Diversified hedges and tactical rotations aim for steadier upside.
